Life's too short to work somewhere boring. If you're the most energetic person in the room, you make kids laugh AND their parents love you — we've been saving a spot for you.
We're looking for someone with serious personality: think theater kid, the funny one in the friend group, or anyone who just can't help lighting up a room. If that's you, keep reading.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Teach gymnastics-based classes to kids ages 4 months–12 years (we train you on our proven curriculum — no experience required!)
- Build real relationships with families — they'll remember you for years
- Create a warm, high-energy environment where kids feel safe to try new things
- Keep our space clean, organized, and welcoming before and after classes
- Show up with your A-game every single class — energy is non-negotiable here
YOU'RE THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU...
- Have natural charisma — you're comfortable and confident talking with both kids and adults
- Can stay on your feet and bring the energy for a full shift, every shift
- Are a team player who takes pride in the space and the people around you
- Are available evenings (classes until 9 PM) and weekends
- Have a background in theater, performance, child development, gymnastics, or PE — or you're just naturally that person
- Know how to have fun AND buckle down when it's time to work
- Take cleanliness seriously (you don't have to love it, but you know how to do it)
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE
- You'll watch kids get braver and more confident — every single class. That never gets old.
- You'll close your activity rings just by showing up — this is not a sit-down job
- We train you like this is your career — because for a lot of people, it becomes one
- You'll be part of a team that genuinely cares about each other and the families we serve
- 300+ locations across the globe and 40+ years of making kids' lives better

HOW TO APPLY
Hit apply — but don't stop there. Send us a short note telling us why you'd be a great fit. A little personality goes a long way here. We've been waiting for you.
A couple of quick tips before you post:
- Add a pay range — Indeed now strongly favors listings with salary info and candidates are 3.8x more likely to apply. Even a range like "$15–$18/hr depending on experience" makes a big difference.
- Job title — keep it simple: "Lead Instructor" or "Children's Fitness Instructor" works best for Indeed's search algorithm.
- Include your specific location (city + state) in the location field, not in the description body.
