One persistent challenge in the fitness industry is providing sustainable careers for passionate professionals. Many coaches and trainers struggle to find consistent work that offers livable wages while allowing them to make a meaningful difference. FX Well addresses this gap by creating pathways for fitness professionals to expand their reach beyond gym settings and into corporate wellness positions. Through their creative approach to corporate wellness, they’re connecting qualified providers with companies seeking wellness solutions.

FX Well is a national corporate wellness company headquartered in the Baltimore and DC area that is expanding its services into California markets. Its mission centers on creating additional revenue streams for fitness professionals through a hybrid model that includes in-person events, series, and virtual offerings. This approach allows coaches to diversify their income while maintaining flexibility, a crucial factor for many in the wellness space.

A New Path for Fitness Professionals

FX Well categorizes its wellness providers into group fitness instructors and health education specialists. They seek professionals with recognized national certifications like NASM, ACE, and ACSM while valuing specialty certifications depending on client needs. For health coaching positions, they look for credentials like National Board Health Coaching certification, CHES certification, and even registered dietitians for certain roles.

The company partners with major corporations like Under Armour, Kaiser, Cigna, CareFirst, government agencies, and educational institutions. These partnerships create diverse opportunities for providers to work in corporate environments, government buildings, schools, or virtually. Laurie Vass, Wellness Specialist Manager at FX Well, oversees hiring all independent contractors—currently numbering 112—and ensures they have the qualifications, liability insurance, and CPR/AED certifications necessary to represent the company. Current career opportunities for qualified professionals are available now in Marketplace by Coach360. 

Expanding Horizons Through Education

What makes FX Well particularly valuable to fitness professionals is its proactive approach to continuing education. Every month, Vass sends providers recommended continuing education courses and events, helping them strategically grow their skills and increase their marketability. This guidance helps answer the crucial question: “What’s next?” for professionals looking to advance their careers.

“There’s a powerful synergy between influence and education,” Vass explains, noting that while the company prioritizes qualified professionals, it also recognizes the value of those who can effectively engage and inspire others. She encourages providers to stay informed about influencer trends to better support client conversations, but stresses that a solid foundation of education and certification is essential. As Vass puts it, “If you have the education we require, we can get you hired.”

With an impressive 350 different client offerings, FX Well creates a broader scope for fitness professionals to build sustainable careers. The most requested services reflect the most pressing needs in the corporate wellness space, with mindfulness, meditation, recovery, and even simple stretch breaks representing significant growth areas.

Final Thoughts

FX Well recognizes that sustainable careers require passion, and they demand structured pathways toward diversification and advancement. This approach acknowledges the corporate appetite for wellness while creating meaningful employment for qualified professionals.

Companies like FX Well represent a crucial space in the industry for fitness experts feeling limited by traditional employment options. By connecting provider skills with corporate wellness initiatives, FX Well creates a pathway where professionals can maintain their core expertise while expanding into spaces with greater stability and compensation. This model shows how career sustainability in fitness revolves around specialized knowledge carefully placed into environments where it’s increasingly valued.
