Build a fitness team that actually stays

You know the cost of a bad hire in this industry. The retrained members, the disrupted classes, the team morale hit, the same job advert going back up three months later. We help you avoid all of it.

Who do we work with?

From independent studios and boutique clinics through to multi-site gym chains and national wellness brands, we support fitness and physical therapy businesses of every size across the UK and USA.

Generic recruiters treat a physical therapist vacancy the same way they'd treat an office admin role.

They search keywords, send CVs, and move on to the next client. That approach doesn't work in an industry where personality, client-facing skill and genuine expertise all have to line up at once.

We only work in fitness, physical therapy and wellness recruitment.

Every consultant on our team understands the difference between a personal trainer who can hold a client for six months and one who churns through them in six weeks.

We know what makes a physical therapist's clinical background actually transferable to your setting. We know what a strong studio manager's track record looks like on paper, and what it looks like in practice.

How We Work With Employers

A proper briefing

We spend proper time understanding your business, your product, your sales motion, your team dynamics, and what success looks like. No generic job specs.

Targeted Search

We go beyond job boards. Our network in the fitness and rehab space means we reach passive candidates who aren't actively job hunting but would move for the right opportunity.

A shortlist you can trust.

Every candidate we put forward has been properly assessed against your brief, not just matched on keywords. We tell you the strengths and the honest concerns, not just the highlights.

Post-Placement Follow-Up

We stay involved through interviews, offer negotiation, and onboarding, because a placement isn't a success until the person is actually settled in and performing.

Why Nikoloov Recruitment?

Specialist focus.

We only do Health & Fitness. That's not a limitation, it's a strength. We understand your market, your language, and what separates a good seller from a great one in your specific environment.

Both markets, one standard.

UK or USA, you get the same rigorous process and the same commitment to quality.

Built on integrity.

We're transparent about timelines, honest about challenges, and we'll tell you if your expectations are misaligned with the market. That kind of honesty saves you time and money.
