- Certification in S&C or Personal Training (CSEP, NSCA, CF-L1+ or similar) — or equivalent experience
- Degree/diploma in kinesiology/exercise science is an asset
- 3+ years coaching in group or semi-private settings (preferred)
- Background in sports performance/athletic development is strongly considered
- You train what you coach: strength & conditioning is your base
