Job Overview
Do you like to inspire and educate others to get fit and feel confident while having fun? Do you like working in a studio that cares about nurturing a welcoming and supportive community among instructors and clients? Do you enjoy an environment where you are respected for your expertise and allowed to be creative? Then come explore Community Fitness which is a 20-year local group fitness studio in the Roosevelt neighborhood where we don’t just build fitness – but we build confidence, connection and joy. Our instructors are the heart of our studio and we want them to share their passion and expertise with our wonderful community. Many of them have been with us for 10+ years because we offer a uniquely supportive, warm and respected environment. These elite instructors provide a diverse range of classes including dance fitness (hip hop, afro dancehall, urban latin and more), strength & conditioning, step, Bodypump, pilates, barre, yoga and stretch so people can explore and grow in different ways.
We are currently seeking a Group Fitness Instructor specializing in non-contact kick-boxing. One of our teachers taught a class and people are begging for more. So we either need someone who wants to share/sub a spot with our regular instructor on a weekend afternoon or weekday evening OR someone who can offer a regular weekly class during a weekday morning. We hope to find someone in June or July (2026) so you can start providing some pop-up classes by August and then start in September. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in kick-boxing and the confidence and charisma to motivate and inspire participants of different ages, bodies and abilities. This role involves designing and leading a kick-boxing class (no bags) that can leverage techniques from different training regimens (booty, turbo kick, other). We pay 1.5 hours per class starting at $50/class increasing with experience and performance.

- Promote studio classes and programs to support the overall business.
- Stay updated on industry trends, new techniques, and best practices to advance your skills and improve the class learning.
Requirements
