Jobs

overview

We're always looking for students to join our team of Fitness Professionals.  You don't need experience or certifications.  We'll help you with that.  What you do need is a passionate commitment to Fitness.

You'll also need timing.  Our hiring takes place once a semester.  Depending on where we are in the process -- and taking into account your experience and certifications -- we may have a match.  Have a read through the information below.  If you have questions, you'll find our email at the end of this page.  


The hiring process

For someone with no background or experience, the typical process has five steps:

Step 1:  Attend an info session(s).  You can do more than one if you're undecided.

Step 2:  Choose your path:  Group Fitness or Personal Training

Step 3:  Complete a multi-week certification course

Step 4:  Pass the certification exam

Step 5:  Complete the interview/audition with our Fitness Team

The info sessions aren't mandatory.  Skip them if you already know which path you want to take.  If you're already certified, then skip to Step 5 and let's set up an interview.
