Job description

Life’s too short to not work someplace awesome! If you are looking for a career working with kids someday, enjoy being super active and love to have a ton of fun, you may be the person we are looking for!

A Children's Grade School Gymnastics Instructor takes the reins and is a leader of Serious Fun during our regularly scheduled classes.

Available Afternoon & Evenings a must!!

What we expect from you…

• Teach amazing classes based on our proven curriculum and teaching method (don’t worry, we’ll teach you how!)
• Create a warm, positive, and fun environment for the children each class.
• Treat each class and each child as if it’s their first day – EVERY WEEK!
• This is a fast-paced environment that will keep you moving. Be ready to roll, climb, jump, and swing. Children learn through watching you! You don't have to be a top-tier gymnast but you do have to be comfortable moving through the gym.
• Comfortable lifting and spotting children up to 12 years old. (We will train you on proper technique!)
• Comfortable demonstrating basic gymnastics skills: handstand, cartwheel, mount and walk on a balance beam, front support and swings on uneven bars.
• Comfortable in a non-competitive and positive environment. Our goal is to help children gain self-confidence and self-esteem through gymnastics.
• Provide outstanding customer service and membership experience. We treat our customers like family here. (Smiles go a long way)
• Create a warm, fun, and educational environment for the children and families.
• Take pride in our facility - treat it like home. Cleaning and sanitizing is important!
• Available in the evenings during the week and at least one weekend day.

You’d fit in here if…

• You love having fun, encouraging kids and giving High-5’s! (A background in child development, physical education, coaching and/or gymnastics helps as well)
• You live to serve! Making others feel good makes you feel good.
• Kids really like you, but their parents really like you too.
• You would be voted most likely to be in a good mood by your classmates.
• You love to have fun, but you know when to buckle down and do work.
• Moving is more your speed. This is not a desk job!

You may think we’re awesome because…

• Children walk out of our classes more confident than when they walked in every single day.
• You’ll get your steps in and close your activity rings while you work because you’ll be moving all day.
• We take our fun pretty seriously but also take the role we play in our community and with each child we meet seriously. The relationships you’ll build here will last a lifetime.
• You could get paid to fold sweatpants or you could get paid to wear the sweatpants. The choice is yours.
• There is hands-on training and you will never stop learning! There is room for growth in our The Little Gym franchise. Our directors and even our owner started out as an instructor!
• 401K up to 3.5% company match
• PTO
• Discounted/free programs for employee children (or sponsored child)
• Knowledge and experience coaching, teaching, learning about child development, and child behavior management tools.
