Now hiring · One open role · Columbia, MD
A job we invented. The only one in Maryland. Open now, won’t be open long.
A PhysioCoach is what happens when a Doctor of Physical Therapy stops choosing between clinical work and coaching and decides to do both, well. Group classes. 1:1 PT. Programming on a 12-week cycle. The Misfits.
Eight years in. One spot. Take it seriously.
The job in 30 seconds
If you became a PT because you wanted to help people move better and instead found yourself running a 30-minute eval, slapping on a hot pack, and writing a SOAP note, this is the version of the job you actually wanted.
Who we are
You have work. You have home. As a kid, you had a third place where you went to have fun and figure things out with other people. That place disappeared when you grew up. We’re rebuilding it for adults, and we’re using strength training, clinical PT, and community as the building materials.
Make a positive health impact within our community every single day.
Bridge the gap between physical therapy and fitness, giving people a supportive space to learn, move, and progress through structured, clinically precise programming.
That’s the standard. Not a customer service line. The actual standard.
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.”
Our community calls themselves the Misfits. Coach accordingly.What you’ll actually do
You’ll coach group classes built on movement patterns and an RPE-based intensity model. You’ll see members 1:1 for PT and performance work. You’ll program one or more days per week, then bring them to your team for peer review. You’ll learn names, you’ll learn stories, and you’ll get good at knowing when somebody needs a regression versus when they need a push.
A member mentions a twinge. You assess, cue, alter load or tempo, and keep them progressing. Sometimes the right answer is “it’s ok to feel that, let’s see how it feels after.” Not everything needs a fix.
Teach members to read their own bodies. RPE. Safe boundaries. Why a given exercise matters. They leave more capable, not more dependent.
Group class energy plus one-on-one precision. Both require you to actually know the people in front of you.
Each PhysioCoach owns programming days. We present to the team for review and optimization. Programming is collaborative, not heroic.
Pair people up. Celebrate each other’s PRs. Know who hasn’t shown up in a week and check in. The community is the treatment.
You don’t need to build a persona. Show up, have fun, care about the people around you. The rest falls into place.
If you read those six cards and your stomach got a little tighter, that’s the right reaction.
Apply nowHow we train people
If you go see your primary care physician, they don’t reach into a drawer, grab medicine and toss it at your face. They work to understand your underlying issue, then treat it specifically. Exercise is the same way. Proper dose, delivered at the appropriate time interval.
Every cycle opens with a Test Week (Short, Medium, Long, Bodyweight, Weightlifting). The data from that week sets the baseline for the cycle that follows.
4 of 5 days are Practice Days: build competency, push to ~80%, keep movement clean. 1 of 5 is Competition Day: track the metric, push the limit, share with the community.
Hinge. Squat. Push. Pull. Carry. Flexion/Extension/Rotation. Run/Plyo. Row/Bike. Three patterns per workout, balanced across the week.
Breath conditioning, body conditioning, and weightlifting. Members learn to self-regulate. You learn to verify with cues like “can you finish that sentence?”
Self-Determination Theory, Motivational Interviewing, positive reinforcement, SMART goal setting. We don’t just program reps. We coach humans.
Every new member goes through Pathway: 3 one-on-one sessions across our movement patterns. We learn their history, fears, and goals before we ever load a barbell.
This methodology isn’t taught in PT school and you won’t find it at any other clinic. Come learn it on the floor.
Apply nowWhat we look for
If any of these aren’t true, this probably isn’t the right fit, and we’d rather know that now.
Bonus, not required
None of these are deal-makers. All of them are signal.
What we stand for
These aren’t the back of a t-shirt. They’re how we make decisions, how we coach, and how we treat each other.
Every interaction is a chance to support and guide someone toward improved health.
Face challenges head-on. Address root causes directly instead of sidestepping them.
Trust, belonging, and meaningful connections. With members, and with each other.
Every individual can progress when offered the right adjustment or variation.
Sustained, purposeful effort over time. That’s what creates lasting change.
What you get
The package, in plain language. Then the part that’s harder to put on a job board.
SALARY
Negotiated on experience. We don’t lowball.
SCHEDULE
Built around the role and your life outside it.
TIME OFF
Real time off. We expect you to use it.
HEALTH
Plan options for you and your family.
You’ll be part of a programming team that critiques, refines, and sharpens each other’s work. Iron sharpens iron and all that.
Recharge members opted in through Pathway. They know what they signed up for. You’ll spend less time convincing and more time coaching.
Longer engagements, real relationships, and the space to follow through on root causes. Not 30-minute slots in a productivity treadmill.
Programming, mentorship, and exposure to behavioral psychology, golf performance, women’s strength training, and our digital platform work.
The Misfits aren’t a marketing concept. You’ll get invited to the cookouts. You’ll know the dogs by name.
Gene is on the floor. So are the team leads. You won’t report to a layer of people who haven’t seen a member in five years.
