We are looking for OUR NEXT PINEAPPLE COACH

If you’re passionate about coaching, community, and creating an experience that feels world-class, this could be your place.

 
 
 

Pineapple Fitness is a women’s strength and conditioning facility based in Newcastle, NSW. We run a high-quality SGPT (Small Group Personal Training) model that blends education, strength training, health and community.

We believe in training for decades, not weeks; strength as a foundation for physical and mental resilience; and a coaching culture built on high standards, heart, and humour.

2026 marks an exciting new chapter for Pineapple Fitness. The business has recently changed hands and is evolving with a clear vision, refreshed brand, and big plans for growth. We’re building a coaching team that’s capable, committed, and ready to shape something special and you’ll play a part in that.

This role is a unique opportunity for a coach who wants to grow, learn, and contribute. You’ll coach within a world-class SGPT framework, receive ongoing development, and be part of a supportive, driven team.
