ABOUT REDIAL CLINIC
ReDiaL Clinic is a metabolic reversal and lifestyle medicine clinic based in South Delhi. We work on a clinician-led triangle model — a doctor, a functional fitness trainer, and a dietitian working in tandem around every patient. Our programmes target the root causes of Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Obesity through structured, evidence-based protocols — not just symptom management.
We run a structured reversal programme through our proprietary fitness platform where patients log workouts, track progress, and stay accountable. The fitness trainer is not a peripheral role here — they are one of the three clinical pillars of the programme.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are looking for a qualified Physiotherapist who also knows the gym floor. A BPT or MPT degree is the non-negotiable foundation for this role — the clinical understanding that comes with a physio background is essential for working safely and effectively with patients who have diabetes, hypertension, or obesity. On top of that, you need to have genuine interest, knowledge, and hands-on experience as a fitness trainer — someone who is equally comfortable designing a resistance programme as they are reading a patient's clinical notes.
You will be the primary point of contact for new patient onboarding on the fitness side, conduct baseline and periodic assessments, design individualised functional fitness plans, and run structured training sessions as part of the reversal programme. You will work alongside a doctor and a dietitian on every case — the physio background makes you the most clinically equipped person in that triad to understand movement, pain, compensation patterns, and exercise safety.
KEY RESPONSIBILITY AREAS (KRAS)
New Patient Onboarding
- Conduct the initial fitness onboarding session for every new patient enrolled in the reversal programme
- Complete a structured baseline assessment: movement screen, functional fitness level, mobility, strength, and cardiovascular endurance
- Review patient history, doctor notes, and dietitian inputs before onboarding
- Brief patients on the fitness module of the reversal programme — what to expect, how progress will be measured, and how to use the fitness app
2
Assessment & Planning
- Design a personalised functional fitness plan based on baseline assessment, medical condition, current fitness level, and programme goals
- Plans must be specific to the metabolic condition — accounting for blood glucose variability in diabetics, safe exertion limits for hypertensives, and progressive overload protocols for obese patients
- Align the fitness plan with the doctor's clinical targets and the dietitian's nutrition schedule
- Document all assessments and plans on the ReDiaL fitness app platform
3
Training Sessions
- Conduct regular 1:1 or small-group training sessions with patients as part of their structured reversal plan
- Deliver functional movement, resistance, and cardio-metabolic training protocols suited to each patient's condition and stage
- Ensure proper form, safe progression, and appropriate modifications for metabolic patients
- Log every session on the fitness app with notes on performance, effort, and modifications
4
Periodic Reviews & Plan Revisions
- Conduct structured re-assessments at defined intervals (typically 4 and 8 weeks) to track progress against baseline
- Revise fitness plans based on clinical progress, patient feedback, and doctor review
- Identify patients who are not progressing and flag to the clinical team with observations
- Maintain updated records on the ReDiaL fitness app post every review
5
Patient Engagement & Accountability
- Monitor patient adherence to their fitness plans via the app and follow up where needed
- Motivate and educate patients on the role of exercise in metabolic disease reversal
- Respond to patient queries related to their fitness plan in a timely and clinically responsible manner
- Coordinate with the doctor and dietitian to ensure consistent patient communication
6
Clinical Coordination
- Participate in weekly inter-disciplinary reviews with the doctor and dietitian team
- Raise flags on exercise-related clinical concerns (e.g., dizziness, fatigue patterns, blood pressure response during exercise)
- Adapt protocols based on medication changes or dietary shifts recommended by the clinical team
- Maintain complete, updated patient records on all designated platforms
QUALIFICATIONS & CERTIFICATIONS
REQUIRED
- BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) or MPT (Master of Physiotherapy) — mandatory qualification, non-negotiable
- Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) — ACE, NASM, ACSM, ISSA, or equivalent recognised certification
- Hands-on gym training experience — must have worked with clients in a gym or fitness setting, not only in a clinical rehab environment
- Minimum 2 years of combined physiotherapy and fitness training experience
- Demonstrated experience or strong interest in working with patients with metabolic disorders: Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, or Obesity
- Comfort working within a clinical, multi-disciplinary team environment
- Ability to use digital tools, apps, and maintain patient records accurately
PREFERRED (STRONG ADVANTAGE)
- MPT specialisation in Musculoskeletal, Sports, or Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy
- Prior experience in a clinical fitness, rehab gym, or medically supervised exercise setting
- Specialised certification in Diabetes Exercise Management, Cardiac Rehab, or Obesity & Exercise
- Sports background — competitive athlete or sports performance coaching experience alongside physio
- Familiarity with wearables, CGM interpretation in an exercise context, or HRV-based training
- Experience with clinic-integrated or medically supervised fitness programmes
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE
The best person for this role understands that training a 52-year-old Type 2 diabetic is fundamentally different from training a 28-year-old who wants to lose weight. They are methodical about assessment, consistent about documentation, and genuinely invested in clinical outcomes — not just session counts. They communicate well with doctors and dietitians, escalate intelligently, and adapt plans without needing to be pushed.
- Patient-first mindset — exercise plans always serve the clinical goal, not the trainer's style preference
- Assessment-driven — no plan is written without data; no plan continues without review
- Clinically literate — understands how hypertension, insulin resistance, and obesity affect exercise response
- Consistent communicator — documents everything, flags early, and works well in a team-based care model
- Technically strong across resistance training, functional movement, and cardio-metabolic protocols
- Comfortable being accountable — to patient outcomes, to programme adherence, and to clinical standards
WHAT WE OFFER
- A structured clinical role with clear responsibilities and measurable outcomes
- A multi-disciplinary working environment alongside doctors and dietitians
- A proprietary fitness platform to manage patient programmes, assessments, and logs
- Regular clinical learning and cross-functional collaboration opportunities
- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and certification level
- The opportunity to work at the intersection of fitness and medicine — a rare and growing field in India
