Job description

Life’s too short to not work someplace awesome! If you love kids, enjoy moving, and being active in your job while having a ton of fun, you may be the person we are looking for!

We're looking for a rockstar instructor to join our team!

Our ideal full-time team member works approximately 25–30 hours per week, with a combination of morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend classes available. Looking for weekend‑only hours? We'd love to hear from you, too!

Not quite ready to commit to 25–30 hours but interested in becoming part of our team? We still encourage you to apply. We offer consistent scheduling with flexibility that doesn't fit the typical Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM workweek.

This is not a seasonal or summer‑only position. We're looking for team members who are excited to grow with us and become a long‑term part of our amazing community.

What We Expect From You

• Introduce kids to the serious fun of education and play, all within The Little Gym's unique learning environment.
• Teach amazing classes based on our proven curriculum and teaching method (don’t worry, we’ll teach you how!)
• Provide outstanding customer service and membership experience. We treat our members like family here.

You'd fit in here if

• Teach amazing classes based on our proven curriculum and teaching method (don’t worry, we’ll teach you how!)
• Provide outstanding customer service and membership experience. We treat our members like family here.
• Create a warm, fun, and educational environment for the Children in each class.
• Treat each class and each child as if it’s their first day – EVERY WEEK!

You'd fit in here if

• You love having fun, like giving high 5’s, and can play like a child! (A background in child development, physical education, 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 were voted most likely to be in a good mood by your high school classmates.
• You love to have fun, but you know when to buckle down and do work.

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 t-shirts or you could get paid to act like a dinosaur. The choice is yours.
• This may not be your career, but we are surely going to train you like it is.
