The mission of Gymkhana Gymnastics is to foster the physical, emotional and social development of children through unparalleled gymnastics instruction – and our instructors make that happen!

For over forty years, Gymkhana has been Pittsburgh’s premier gymnastics school and we continue to grow. We are seeking positive, high-energy instructors to join our team at each of our locations: Monroeville, Point Breeze, Wexford, and Bethel Park. We are flexible with your schedule and can offer both part-time and full-time positions!

Gymkhana Instructors:

2. Coach by providing safe, individualized, progressive gymnastic instruction.
3. Collaborate by communicating opinions, sharing ideas and listening to others.

The impact Gymkhana Gymnastics has on children reaches well beyond the scope of gymnastics. Gymkhana helps kids increase confidence, awareness, concentration, and the ability to persevere. There are multiple positions available requiring a range of experience from no experience to coaching expertise. All are welcome to apply.
