Job description

The Commons Health Club is a premium wellness space dedicated to delivering the highest standard in fitness, recovery, and member care. From expertly programmed classes and state-of-the-art equipment to a beautifully designed bathhouse, every detail is curated to offer an exceptional experience. We’re here to set a new benchmark for what a health club can be - where quality meets care, and community is at the heart of it all.

The Commons is a vibrant community where entrepreneurs, businesses, and curious minds come together to work, connect, and grow. We believe in fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity all grounded in genuine care for our members and each other.

About the role

At The Commons, we're known for creating spaces where people feel connected, challenged and inspired. Now we're bringing that same energy to group fitness with the launch of three brand-new dance fitness concepts.

Think old-school aerobics energy, but modernised. Iconic playlists, brilliant instructors, and classes members genuinely can't wait to come back to.

We're looking for a team of instructors who want to help bring these concepts to life from day one. You won't be walking into a class that's already set in stone. You'll help create it, alongside a team of instructors who care as much about getting it right as you do.

About You

You're the kind of instructor people come back for. You know how to create an experience, not just deliver a workout. Music, movement and coaching all matter to you, and you know how to bring them together so it feels effortless, even when it isn't. You read a room well and adjust as you go, so everyone feels challenged and welcome no matter their level.

You're genuinely excited by the idea of building something new. You like collaborating, throwing ideas around, and helping shape a program rather than just following one.

Experience teaching dance fitness, step or rebounder is great, but we're just as interested in people with a background in dance, choreography or performance who bring energy and creativity to the room.

What you'll do

• Deliver high-energy, engaging classes that align with The Commons' coaching style and member experience.
• Help shape the programming, choreography and class flow as we develop the concept.
• Curate playlists that combine nostalgic favourites with current tracks to create an unforgettable atmosphere.
• Coach members of all fitness levels by providing clear instruction, progressions and modifications.
• Create an inclusive, welcoming environment where members feel supported and motivated.
• Build genuine relationships with members before, during and after class to foster community and encourage retention.
• Prepare thoughtful class plans and ensure studios and equipment are presentation-ready before every session.
• Trial new ideas, gather member feedback and continually refine the class experience.
• Work collaboratively with the Head of Class Experience & Programming, Concept Lead and the wider instructor team to evolve the concepts as they grow.
• Maintain the highest standards of safety, coaching and professionalism.

You'll bring

• Experience teaching Aerobic Dance, Step, Rebounder or similar group dance fitness formats
• A background in dance, choreography or performance
• Strong musicality and an instinct for what makes a class memorable
• Experience developing choreography or creative fitness programming
• Confidence presenting ideas and collaborating creatively
• A genuine passion for group fitness and creating a great member experience
