If you've led teams in retail, restaurants, hospitality, sales, or other fast-paced industries, your leadership experience translates. We'll train and support you as you build a strong instructor team while bringing the energy, organization, and motivation that fuels our Group Fitness community.

• All employees are eligible to participate in 401(k) options and the Employee Assistance Program -- FREE therapy, financial advising, legal advice, and more.
• 30+ hours/week employees: Paid Time Off (hourly), Health, Dental, Vision Benefits, and Paid Parental Leave.
• COMPENSATION: Pay is $21.00 per hour + Bonus and Commission Opportunities! Class Rates paid at $35.00/hour.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of experience teaching group fitness, small group training, or boutique fitness classes (experience in specialty studios preferred).
• Nationally accredited Group Fitness Certification required (recently expired certifications may be renewed within 30 days of hire).
• Current CPR/AED certification required.
• Experience leading, coaching, teaching, or performing in front of groups.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• General knowledge of kinesiology, exercise science, and physical fitness.
• Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership and urgency.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
• Passion for fitness, community, and helping others reach their goals.
• Experience with Les Mills or other structured fitness formats is a plus.
• Required to work 8-10 hours per week in a customer facing Front Desk role, including welcoming members and guests, conducting club tours, processing POS transactions, booking classes, answering questions, and promoting VASA programs and services.

WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?

• Growing class attendance and overall Group Fitness engagement by analyzing class counts, usage trends, and schedule performance.
• Building and maintaining class schedules that are competitive, on-trend, and convenient for members.
• Recruiting, hiring, and developing a high-performing team of Group Fitness Instructors who embody VASA's values.
