My Gym Children's Fitness Center is looking to grow its family of teachers! We're seeking out someone who has a passion for fitness, really likes kids, and loves to be part of a tight-knit team that works closely with children and families. A job at My Gym goes beyond just teaching "Mommy and Me" programs and fitness classes; it is one where you build relationships and get to invest in the youth of our community! This is truly a rewarding job where there is opportunity for growth and you find inspiration and genuine appreciation on a daily basis.
Are you someone who...
  • Loves working with children and would consider yourself a kid at heart
  • Is a "people person"
  • Is great at working in collaboration with other people in a fun and supportive environment
  • Has a background in fitness (gymnastics, dance, team sports, cheer, martial arts, or related field)
  • Is patient, outgoing, and has an upbeat personality
  • Can work weekends (We throw wonderful, memorable birthday parties year-round.)
  • Is willing to really grow with us (and the kids!) and can commit to at least a year of employment

If you answered "yes" to the above questions, you may be the right person for us and My Gym may be just the right job for you! As a teacher, you'll be working with children ranging from 6 weeks to 10 years of age; teaching programs that incorporate beginning gymnastics skills, sports, games, movement, songs, and a variety of other unique and exciting activities in a positive, noncompetitive fun environment.

Our curriculum grows with children and features a wide variety of activities designed to promote coordination, agility, flexibility, motor skills, and social skills. Whether it's a toddler in a parent-participation class wiggling through a warm-up, or a school-aged Ninja kid conquering our Warped Wall, the FUN never stops!
My Gym's brand promise is to love and nurture all children through meaningful play, and it's a promise we take to heart.
We hope you'll join us!
