Please review the qualifications below before applying.
We're looking for experienced instructors—not someone looking for their first opportunity.
AIR® Ann Arbor is seeking a professional, engaging, and committed Group Fitness Instructor to join our growing team.
Our ideal candidate has experience teaching group fitness, enjoys building relationships with clients, and is excited to coach across multiple formats. While aerial experience is a plus, we highly value instructors with strong backgrounds in yoga, strength, Pilates, functional fitness, barre, HIIT, or other group fitness disciplines.
This position is best suited for instructors looking to become part of a long-term studio community rather than those seeking occasional substitute work.

- Minimum 1 year of experience leading group fitness classes
- Current nationally recognized fitness certification (ACE, NASM, AFAA, Yoga Alliance, ACSM, etc.) or aerial certification
- Comfortable teaching and motivating groups of all fitness levels
- Willing to complete AIR® Certification (September) if not already certified
- Willing to take a class at AIR® Ann Arbor before being hired
- Available to teach evenings and at least some weekends each month
- Able to commit to teaching a minimum of 8 classes per month
- Professional, dependable, coachable, and punctual
- Comfortable completing 18–25 hours of paid training and successfully passing an instructor audition before teaching independently
What You'll Do
- Lead safe, energetic, and engaging group fitness classes
- Provide hands-on coaching while maintaining the highest safety standards
- Deliver exceptional client experiences that keep members coming back
- Build community and encourage member progress
- Collaborate with a team that values professionalism, positivity, and continuous learning
What We Offer
- Competitive instructor pay
- Paid training
- Free unlimited studio classes
- Employee discounts
- Flexible scheduling
- Opportunities to grow into additional class formats and leadership roles
- A supportive, positive team environment
Please apply only if you're looking to grow with a studio and can make a consistent commitment to your classes and members.
To apply, email your resume and a brief introduction describing your teaching experience and the fitness formats you currently instruct to [email protected].
