Job description

WE ARE GROWING AGAIN!

So, maybe you don’t see yourself as a “9-5” type (unless we’re talking about the musical).  If we’re being honest, neither do we!  We are My Gym Children’s Fitness Center – the ultimate children’s fitness and developmental activity center – and we get to work and play all day… in a T-shirt and socks!!
Do you love kids, being generally silly, and acting for very receptive and adorable audiences?  Then My Gym might be the right place for you!
Are you…
  • The life of the party?
  • Frequently found at the kids table (which is the best place to be anyway)?
  • A dancer, actor, singer, or athlete?
  • Outgoing, upbeat, and positive?
  • Someone who takes direction well?
  • Interested in a flexible weekday schedule that will allow your job to work into your life?
  • Available to work weekends? (We throw wonderful, memorable birthday parties year-round.)
  • Willing to really grow with us (and the kids!) and can commit to at least a year of employment?
If you feel we probably wrote this about you as a funny character assessment, 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 13 years of age, teaching programs that incorporate songs, dances, puppet shows, beginning gymnastics skills, sports, games, and a variety of other unique and exciting activities in a positive, noncompetitive, fun environment. LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY.  Full Time available.
