Children's Fitness Instructor

The Little Gym • Mansfield, TX

13d • Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for an instructor who brings Miss Rachel-level energy to the gym floor every single class. This is a performance role as much as it is a coaching role, and we need someone who gets that and loves it. The children and families we serve deserve your best every single time they walk through that door. If you're the kind of person who leaves whatever is happening outside at the door and shows up fully present and genuinely joyful for these kids, you'll thrive here. The Little Gym of Arlington/Mansfield has served families in the Mansfield area since 2013 and is one of the top-performing locations in The Little Gym franchise network. We offer non-competitive gymnastics, dance, and enrichment programs for children ages 4 months through 12 years — and we take the quality of our team very seriously. The Little Gym is the world’s premier enrichment and physical development center for children ages 4 months through 12 years. Programs offer children a Springboard to Life’s Adventures by using movement-based learning and imaginative play to help build the confidence and skills needed at each stage of childhood. For over 40 years, our trained instructors have nurtured happy, confident kids through parent/child classes, gymnastics, dance and sports prep, plus enjoyable extras like camps, Parentsʼ Survival Nights and Awesome Birthday Bash parties. As a part of The Little Gym team, you will be part of a family dedicated to the growth and development of children all over the globe. We are looking for fun, outgoing, talented individuals who are looking to make a difference in their community.
