About Movement Med
Movement Med is Chicago’s first Pilates-based medical fitness center, located in Streeterville. We combine Pilates apparatus training, strength-based programming, and clinical insight to help clients move better, feel stronger, and build long-term resilience. We also offer Physical Therapy and Massage, creating a truly integrative environment for both clients and practitioners.
We are growing and looking for a thoughtful, motivated movement professional to join our team.
Who We’re Hiring
We’re open to candidates in one of these two categories:

Medical fitness, post-rehab, or special populations experience is a plus

2. Physical Therapist (Licensed)

Current PT license required
Pilates certification not required
Pilates experience required
Interest in integrating Pilates-based principles into clinical care and fitness programming

Important: Many clients come to us specifically for Pilates or Physical Therapy, so Pilates experience is essential for both paths.

Deliver client-centered Pilates-based and movement sessions
Support clients with medical fitness and post-rehabilitation goals
Work with special populations and chronic conditions
Help clients improve strength, mobility, balance, and function

Confidence working with a wide range of bodies and needs
A safety-first mindset and strong attention to detail
Commitment to continued growth in technique, cueing, programming, and client care

Why Join Movement Med
If you’re looking for a place where you can grow—not just work—Movement Med offers a rare opportunity. We are a collaborative, supportive community of care where trainers and therapists learn from one another, build real clinical confidence, and keep evolving as practitioners.

At Movement Med, you’ll have access to continuing education, mentorship, and proven protocols that can strengthen the way you assess, coach, and support clients. You’ll also get to do genuinely interesting work with people whose needs are complex, personal, and deeply rewarding to support over time. For practitioners who care about building long-term client relationships and becoming stronger, smarter care providers, this is the kind of place that can shape a career. This position includes:

Collaborative, team-based environment
Ongoing mentorship in our Pilates-based medical fitness approach
Opportunity to work alongside PT and Massage professionals
Professional development opportunities in medical fitness, special populations, and brain health
Flexible scheduling
