Experienced Ride Instructor - Sweat and TonicAbout us:

Sweat, recover, connect: Sweat and Tonic (S&T) brings the best of boutique fitness and wellness under one roof. S&T is Toronto's leading fitness and wellness hub, offering the widest collection of group fitness classes in Canada. From complimentary full-service amenities and an unparalleled range of yoga, Pilates, HIIT, indoor cycling, HYROX, and Lagree Megaformer classes powered by top-of-the-line fitness equipment, custom-programmed lighting, immersive projection screens and state-of-the-art sound systems, to premium spa, recovery and high-tech biohacking amenities - every aspect of S&T has been designed to deliver a best-in-class experience with a hospitality approach. With premium spa facilities, cafe, and bar offerings, members can recharge, recover, and reignite.

Since opening in 2019, S&T has innovated and expanded state-of-the art classes across multiple channels: In-studio, Sweat in the Park, Sweat Live, Sweat on Demand, and Sweat on the Roof - a one-of-a-kind, outdoor rooftop fitness studio in the heart of downtown Toronto. In spring 2023, S&T opened its first international sister location, Silver Springs, a boutique yoga and Pilates oasis in the heart of Los Angeles, and opened its second location in Toronto at The Well in December 2023. S&T expanded the brand in June 2025 with a new concept studio, Reformd - the world's largest-capacity Lagree studio, and will be bringing a fourth location in Toronto's prestigious Yorkville neighbourhood in 2026. S&T was the recipient of the 2023 Mariana Tek Lasting Community Award, 2023 ClassPass Best Studio Award, and the Mariana Tek Best of Boutique Fitness Awards for 2024 and 2025, recognizing the highest studio attendance and commitment to innovation and excellence.


About the opportunity:

Ride instructors at S&T do more than teach classes - they create experiences that challenge, inspire, and connect people through movement. As a Ride instructor, you'll lead immersive, music-driven classes that combine intentional programming, expert coaching, and authentic connection. Every ride is an opportunity to help guests build confidence, discover what they're capable of, and leave feeling stronger than when they arrived.

We're looking for instructors who care deeply about their craft and are excited to continue developing it. You'll be part of a collaborative team that values excellence, feedback, creativity, and continuous growth.

If you're passionate about delivering world-class experiences while helping shape one of Canada's leading fitness communities, we'd love to hear from you.

  • Deliver world-class fitness experiences that emphasize entertainment, experience, and community-building
  • Develop class programming, playlists, and signature elements that allow your own unique approach and practice to shine while working within the framework of the S&T brand and standards of excellence
  • Motivate, inspire and build relationships with guests as well as fellow team members
  • Promote, design, and theme classes to maximize attendance and experience
  • Live the S&T brand values and lead by example: sweat the details, push the boudnaries, be relentless in finding a way, stay in it together and invest in our community
  • Participate in promotional events, photo/video shoots, and brand initiatives
  • Act as a Sweat and Tonic ambassador, both in and out of class
About you:
  • You have a passion for fitness, wellness, and inspiring others through movement
  • You have significant experience delivering ride classes that prioritize both fitness and the experience
  • You have strong musicality - you can hear the beat, move with it and help others do the same
  • You bring a performance mindset, with experience in dance, theatre, sports, or other performance-based disciplines
  • You have taught or instructed groups in the past and thrive on connecting with a room
  • You bring energy, drive and a commitment to continuous growth as an industry-leading instructor
  • You are confident in your ability to receive feedback, remain coachable, and adapt to new challenges
Requirements & expectations:
  • Availability to teach a minimum of 3 weekly classes
  • Availability that includes either early mornings, evenings, or weekend afternoons
  • Substituting classes when needed
  • Flexibility to teach at all of our Toronto locations
  • Participation in studio events, shoots, and promotional opportunities
  • Ongoing team development workshops and communication
Qualifications:
  • 2 - 5 years of experience coaching in group fitness studios or personal training
  • 1 - 3 years teaching indoor cycling classes
  • CPR/AED Certification
  • Additional ride, fitness, and/or personal training certifications
Compensation:
  • $75 - $150 per class (base rate + attendance bonus)
  • $95 - $170 per class (+$20 base rate + attendance bonus): High-performing Ride instructors who also teach exclusively at S&T and teach at least 10 classes/week may qualify for the S&T Exclusivity Program
Other benefits:
  • Unlimited S&T membership for you and a loved one
  • 50% off at The S&T Shop
  • 20% off at Tonic Bar
