In a nutshell

This gig is all about delivering a group exercise program (unlike anything Australians have experienced before) and maximising its growth and occupancy. You’ll be empowered to perform on the stage and build true community… rock star style.

Who are we?

Here at Virgin Active Australia, we have the best talent, doing the best work of their lives with meaning. Our continuous focus on inspiring people to live an active life is what unites us and sets us apart in our vision to be the world's most loved exercise brand.

We are part of the Virgin group of companies worldwide and launched our Australian business in 2008 with one club, five studios and a dedicated team of just 50 people. Today, we have a team of nearly 1,000 people and we're building a collection of iconic locations in Sydney and Melbourne.

Perched on the corner of Norwest Boulevard, our spacious 4,651 sqm Norwest club is your go-to location for work, rest and play in the Hills District. Inside you'll find 5 large studios for classes including Reformer Pilates, Grid Training (HIIT), Yoga, Cycle, Barre (and more), a large open gym with Technogym equipment, a sparkling 25m swimming pool, spa and sauna, indoor climbing wall, luxury changeroom amenities, Club-V creche facilities and our Swimsters swim school for the kids, and a bright café for unwinding post-workout.

A day in the life

Welcome members and help them find whatever they need or whatever they’re looking for.

Deliver classes with the uniqueness that’s given you a rock star following.

Take members from physical experiences through to uplifting mind-body journeys.

Leverage your personality to create a culture where the community become raving fans.

Embrace feedback and suggestions to improve program delivery.

Keep the studios safe… considering temperature, equipment and max occupancy.

Advocate safety and ensure an overall safe environment for members and team members.

Naturally act as a brand ambassador to support marketing activities and comfortably communicate what differentiates our program from the market.

To land this gig… and your ongoing mindset

You have your Cert III in Fitness (or recognised instructor qual), a rock star group exercise reputation, your first aid, flexibility to work a non-traditional schedule and can readily obtain a clear Working with children Check (if required).

You have aligned experience. You know how to deliver meaningful classes and encourage mindfulness of the people around you. You’re an athlete and performer. Both equally. You love to learn new programs as much as you love to deliver them. You’re comfortable connecting with members and thrive on building true community. You may already have a following. A+ for you.

You are people-focused. You’re a raw and magnetic personality. You get a kick out of getting people to those I did it! moments. You’re confident and cool under pressure. Inspiring the community to push themselves to new heights (one class at a time) makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. You love a friendly plank competition.

You are self-assured. You listen intently. You speak eloquently. You can connect with anyone and you totally love it when you’re thrust into the limelight. You feel most at home on the podium and you’re authentic when you express yourself. You love to inspire.

You are driven. You love motivating others. You leverage your life experience and charismatic personality to help members experience physical, mental and emotional breakthrough moments in class.

You have a can-do approach. You think on your feet. You’re cool with ambiguity and you roll with the punches when things change. You’re motivated to continually improve. Whatever a member needs, whatever a member is looking for, you help them find it.
