Nood is seeking aPrivate Performance Coach & Personal Trainer to the Founder/CEOto manage and support his fitness, training, nutrition, recovery, and overall physical performance.
This is not a traditional personal training role. The position is designed for someone who can act as a highly engaged performance coach and accountability partner—someone who will run alongside the CEO during workouts, coach strength training, manage an integrated training plan, support nutrition and meal preparation, track progress, and help drive consistent execution against ambitious fitness goals.

Critical Requirement This person must be an active runner and be willing and able to run alongside the CEO during training.
This is a core responsibility of the role. The expectation is not simply to prescribe running workouts or coach from the sidelines. Candidates should currently train consistently and be fit enough to comfortably participate in running workouts while coaching. Candidates are not expected to perform strength workouts alongside the CEO; during lifting sessions, the role is primarily coaching.
Ideal Background:
Strong candidates may come from backgrounds such as:
Personal training with a serious running background
HYROX or hybrid training
Collegiate athletics
Strength & conditioning
CrossFit coaching with meaningful endurance experience
Competitive running with strength-training expertise
Military or tactical fitness
Performance coaching
Certifications are valued, but athletic ability, coaching skill, judgment, reliability, and fit are more important than credentials alone.
What Success Looks Like:
This person will effectively operate as apersonal performance department of onefor the CEO.
There should always be a clear understanding of the current training plan, performance goals, progress against those goals, recovery needs, nutrition priorities, and what needs to happen next.
The role requires someone who takes ownership rather than simply completing scheduled training sessions.
