Average Fitness and Wellness Coordinator Salary in Canada for 2026

How much does a fitness and wellness coordinator make in Canada?

A typical fitness and wellness coordinator working in Canada brings home around 7,800 CAD a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 49,800 CAD, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 142,300 CAD for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior fitness and wellness coordinator working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How fitness and wellness coordinator pay ranges in Canada

A good way to think about salary in Canada is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all fitness and wellness coordinators in Canada earn less than 88,600 CAD a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 61,500 CAD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 109,700 CAD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of fitness and wellness coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 49,800 CAD. The highest stretch to 142,300 CAD, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Fitness and wellness coordinator pay by experience in Canada

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a fitness and wellness coordinator in Canada, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical fitness and wellness coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 43%. That is the point at which a fitness and wellness coordinator typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.

Fitness and wellness coordinator pay by education in Canada

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving fitness and wellness coordinator pay in Canada. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Fitness and wellness coordinator gender pay gap in Canada

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Canada is no exception. Male fitness and wellness coordinators in Canada earn an average of 93,200 CAD a year, while female fitness and wellness coordinators earn around 96,500 CAD. That works out to a 3% gap in favour of women, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for a fitness and wellness coordinator in Canada

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Canada sees a raise of about 12% every 15 months, which works out to roughly 10% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Canada, the national average raise is around 9% every 15 months.
