About The Position

Equinox's location in Tysons Corner is seeking Cycling Instructors. We have 3 lanes of cycling at Equinox: Road, Competition, and Beats, to meet the needs of our diverse member base and satisfy the variety of styles of cycling instructors. At Equinox, we conduct a 3-week paid mentorship program, Equinox Cycle Pro, that prepares instructors for success in the lane that suits them best. In some instances, it is possible to bypass the mentorship program and begin teaching immediately. The Equinox Cycle Pro Program entails attending a once a week 2-hour session to demo portions of class and receive feedback, and completing a total of 2 hours of online training that consists of video tutorials.

Instructors will teach respective classes on a regular basis and keep subbing to a minimum, and communicate with the Group Fitness Manager on member feedback, equipment and operational status, scheduling, and subbing.
