Life’s too short to not work someplace awesome.

If you love kids, love moving, and want a job where the vibe is as important as the skills—you might be our next coach.

The Little Gym of Englewood is a gymnastics‑based enrichment center for children 4 months–12 years. We build confidence, coordination, and joy through movement, music, and imaginative play (a.k.a. Serious Fun).

The Role

As a Gymnastics Coach, you’ll lead and assist classes, help kids reach new milestones, and create an upbeat, supportive environment that keeps families coming back week after week.

Gymnastics experience is required.

(Coaching experience is a plus, but we can train the right person.)

• Lead and assist gymnastics‑based classes for children ages 4 months–12 years
• Deliver fun, safe, high‑energy lessons using The Little Gym curriculum (we’ll train you on our method!)

• You genuinely love working with kids (non‑negotiable)
• You bring positive energy and can lead a room with confidence
• You’re dependable, on time, and thrive on a tight schedule
• You communicate clearly with both families and leadership
• You can switch between “silly fun” and “focused coaching” in a heartbeat

Preferred (Nice-to-Haves)

• Experience teaching/coaching children
• Background in early childhood education, cheer, dance, or sports instruction
• CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to obtain)

Pay & Perks

• $16.00–$22.00 per hour (based on experience)
• Paid training in The Little Gym method and class delivery
• A supportive team, growth opportunities, and a job that actually feels fun
