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…

• Guests walk out of our Birthday Parties wanting to have their party at The Little Gym too!
• You’ll get your steps in and close your activity rings while you work because you’ll be moving all day.
• Is athleisure wear your vibe? Great, because yoga pants, t-shirts, and bare feet will be your daily dress code.
• When you rock a birthday party, the parents reward you with great tips!
• If you’re a high school or college student who is looking to pick up a few extra hours on the weekends to support your social life, we have flexible scheduling.
• Not a morning person? No problem. Get a few extra hours of sleep since parties are in the afternoons and evenings.
• 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.
