Group Fitness Instructor

Job Summary

Sweat House is hiring group fitness instructors to teach coached small-group training. This is one role with several specialty tracks. You lead one format as your own and can cover at least one other. We are actively hiring across all tracks as we program for the Fall and Winter.

Tracks/Specialties

WOD - Our flagship, coached, constantly varied conditioning with sleds, ropes, dumbbells, barbells, bands, and bodyweight. 60 min.

Cycling - Indoor ride, 45–50 min.

Strength/Powerbuilding 101 - Programmed progressive strength in 6–8 week cycles. We want members to lift more at the end than at the start, improve their technique, and feel confident to begin their journey or hit new PRs.

Bootcamp Series - Time-boxed cohorts with a start date, an end date, and a roster. Mobility/Cardio, kickboxing, Yoga, and pre/post-natal variants.

Duties

• Teach your assigned classes, on time and ready before members arrive.
• Own your format end to end, write the progression, modify as we go, know where each block is heading, and keep it coherent week over week.
• Cross-train on one other format and take assigned subs. Our schedule cannot depend on any one person, and neither can your members.
• Scale every workout on the spot for the range of bodies in the room.
• Keep your class safe: correct loading, correct form, and correct call to stop.
• Know your regulars by name and notice when one stops coming.
• Help members understand what the Group Training add-on gets them.
• Keep your space and equipment set up and put away.

QualificationsWhat Success Looks Like

• Members book your class specifically and come back.
• Your format has a shape someone could describe in one sentence.
• The schedule survives your vacation because someone else can run your class.
• New members leave their first session knowing they could do it again.

Qualifications

Certification preferred, not required. ACE, NASM, ACSM, ISSA, AFAA, CrossFit L1, Spinning/Stages, Les Mills, or equivalent. We reimburse certification for the right person. If you can coach and you want the credential, we will pay for it.

Current CPR/AED required. We will help you get it before your first class.

Experience coaching groups, not just individuals. The skill is managing eight people at eight different levels in the same 45 minutes.

Reliable. A cancelled class costs us a member.

For Cycling: You ride, and you can build a 45-minute profile with a bumping playlist.

For Strength: You can write a progression, not just a workout. You know form.

For Yoga: 200 hours certified. Know the difference between Vinyasa and Yin.

SCHEDULE

We're looking for instructors to fill a wide array of scheduled classes, afternoons and evenings, Monday through Saturday. We're ready and excited to work with the right instructor to find class times that work for them and their class.

COMPENSATION

$25–35 per class

Referral bonus for new members you sign up: $25–60 per new member who names you, plus $25 if they add Group Training. Paid the next paycheck, no waiting period.

Certification reimbursement for the right candidates.
