- Assist with equipment setup, sanitation, breakdown, and resetting the floor between sessions.
- Immediately communicate injuries, safety concerns, or unusual member situations to the supervising coach.
Essential Safety & Communication Functions

- Respond promptly when an immediate safety risk develops.
- Follow established emergency procedures and summon additional assistance when necessary.
Equal Opportunity & Individual Assessment: The Islands Fit Body Boot Camp evaluates applicants based on their ability to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation, and does not automatically exclude an applicant because of a disability.
Because member safety is a fundamental responsibility of this position, any concern regarding an applicant’s ability to safely perform an essential job function will be evaluated individually based on the actual duties and circumstances of the position. Reasonable accommodations will be considered where applicable. An applicant may be unable to qualify for the position when an individualized assessment determines that an essential function cannot be performed, with or without reasonable accommodation, or that the individual would present a significant safety risk that cannot be eliminated or sufficiently reduced through reasonable accommodation.
