Who We Are:

At Gymfinity Kids, we’re building the UK’s leading activity-based clubs focused on gymnastics, Ninja-style obstacle training, holiday camps, and birthday parties.
Our goal? To inspire kids through movement and play while supporting their physical and mental wellbeing.

We believe in laying the foundations for a happier, healthier generation – and we’re looking for coaches who believe in that too.

• Energetic, outgoing personality with the ability to lead groups with confidence.
• A genuine passion for working with kids and helping them grow.
• Comfortable speaking with parents and building positive relationships.
• Team-player mindset with a desire to learn, develop, and have fun while doing it.
• Flexible availability – especially evenings and weekends.

Preferred (but not essential):

• Qualifications in sports coaching, gymnastics, parkour, or similar disciplines.
• Experience designing or delivering structured obstacle-based training.

Why Join Gymfinity Kids?

• Be part of a fun and fast-growing team with room to grow your career.
• Share your ideas – we want to hear them!
