About Portl

Portl is a Connected Health, Fitness & Wellness Technology Company that designs and builds connected fitness products that combine intelligent hardware with adaptive coaching and performance insights to drive personalization at-scale. We are building the world’s most advanced human performance platform, where physiology meets technology to unlock the next frontier of human potential.

The Role

This is a Program Design role for a Certified Personal Trainer or Strength and Conditioning Coach who wants to build training systems rather than deliver sessions.

Most of connected fitness has solved for content volume. We are solving for whether people actually get stronger

.

As a Specialist on our Performance Science team, you’ll own the training library and the structured programs that run on Portl hardware. Every workout a member sees, you will have designed.

Reporting to the Head of Performance Science, you’ll:

- Design and write the workout library — individual sessions and multi-week structured programs — against defined progression, load, and movement competency standards.
- Tag and quality-check every program for experience level, movement pattern, equipment configuration, and intended training stimulus.
- Validate new programming approaches with test cohorts before they ship, then review completion and outcome data to inform the next cycle.
- Build movement competency assessments and progress benchmarks that members can see themselves moving through.
- Write the in-product coaching cues and exercise descriptions — clear enough for a first-timer, accurate enough for a lifter.
- Work with product and engineering to ensure the training logic in the software matches the training logic on paper — and flag it when it doesn’t.





This is a high-output, high-ownership role for someone who thinks in systems and writes with precision.

What We’re Looking For

- Formal certification in Fitness, Strength & Conditioning, or related fields ( mandatory ).
- Accepted Certifications: REPS India, SAI/NIS, INFS, NSCA, ACSM, NASM, ISSN, USAW/BWL
- Strong plus: FMS/SFMA, EXOS XPS, FRC/FRA.
- Also required: Current CPR/AED.
- 2+ years programming strength training for real clients — personal training, S&C;, or your own coaching practice.
- Demonstrable command of progressive overload, periodisation, exercise selection, and regression/progression across mixed populations.
- Written English precise enough to describe a hip hinge to someone who has never done one.
- Comfort with spreadsheets and structured data — a large part of this role is a well-organised library.
- Evidence over trends. If you can explain why you don’t program something, that’s as interesting to us as what you do.
- Willingness to relocate to Hyderabad and work full-time in office.

What This Role Is Not

- It is not on-camera . We hire separately for that.
- It is not a gym floor role . You will be at a desk most days.
- It is not template-filling . There isn’t a template yet — you’re building it.

Why Join Us At Portl, you’re not just an “employee”, you’ll be part of the core brain trust shaping the future of human performance technology. You’ll get:

- Ownership of the training content that defines the product experience.
- A front-row seat to cutting-edge R&D; at the intersection of hardware, software, and exercise science.
- Opportunities to grow into product, curriculum, and leadership roles.
- The chance to impact thousands of lives with science-driven innovation.

To apply: send your CV along with one 4-week training program you’ve written for a real client, plus a short note on why you made the choices you made. We read the program before the CV.
