Job description

Future Opening: Children's Gym Teacher / Coach

Does work have to be... work?

We like to work hard and play harder because we're big kids at heart (iykyk).

My Gym is a vibe... A really fun, positive, happy one! Brush your hair, pull on some joggers and socks, and WORK IT.

Snacks, living wages, and tips are all part of the pkg. Plus a flexible sched, cake on the weekends, and a chill work fam who cares about you.

Who are you?

• Someone who is high-energy, loves to play, be silly, and thinks corn isn’t cringe.
• A warm friend. A team player who follows through and always gives 100%.
• Reliable and communicative.
• A genuine love for young children – from babies to upper elementary ages
• Ability to work 25+ hours per week, including some weekends
• Commitment to train hard and take direction well/easily
• Stage presence – if the idea of performing sounds scary, we might not be the right fit for you
• Willingness to clean (cleaning is a huge part of what we do – it’s how we keep each other and our kids safe & healthy!)
• Effective leadership and motivational skills
• A background in dance, sports, theatre, or fitness is a huuuuge plus!

What’s in it for you:

Pay starts at $18 per hour. Average trained staff member earns $18-$21 per hour.

But wait! There’s more:

• Upward mobility – we promote from within!
• Tips! Our families are very generous and take good care of our party hosts on weekends.
• Free food! Who doesn’t love a well-stocked snack pantry?
• We also enforce a zero-tolerance sick policy to ensure everyone stays healthy.

Compensation: $16.00 - $21.00 per hour

My Gym Children’s Fitness Center is a lot more than just “Mommy and Me!" From first steps to first handstands, we are committed to creating wonderful Moments That Matter. Our gyms are safe, colorful, and oh-so-clean spaces, and our staff pride themselves on providing a fun, safe, and meaningful experience to each and every family who enters through our doors.

Every day in more than 700 locations worldwide, My Gym kids attend structured, noncompetitive and age-appropriate classes and birthday parties taught by incredibly talented, fun, and happy grown-ups. Our curriculum grows with children and features a wide variety of activities designed to promote coordination, agility, flexibility, motor skills, and social skills. Whether it’s a toddler in a parent-participation class wiggling through a warm-up, or a school-aged Ninja kid conquering our Warped Wall, the FUN never stops!

My Gym’s brand promise is to love and nurture all children through meaningful play, and it’s a promise we take to heart.

We hope you’ll join us!

This franchise is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of that franchise. All inquiries about employment at this franchise should be made directly to the franchisee, and not to My Gym Corporate.

We love teaching kids, and we have a blast while doing it!

We value My Gym staff from all walks of life. As an inclusive workplace, we invite all our employees to bring their whole, authentic selves to work. Our mission is to make #MomentsThatMatter – not just for our clients and their children, but for our teachers too! We strive to create a staff that is a reflection of the communities we serve. All ethnicities, genders, beliefs, sexual identities, disabilities, and cultures are welcome and respected for their individual and inimitable contributions to our company.

My Gym has been a wonderful place of employment. I have been given the opportunity to teach many wonderful children through the years. Being a lead teacher has not only taught me a new level of patience and understanding of children and adults, it has also given me the chance to advance my managerial skills.
