Instructors must successfully complete required training and demonstrate competency before independently teaching applicable classes or handling assigned MSK assessment responsibilities.
Who We're Looking For
We want someone who can work just as comfortably with a fit adult taking a HIIT class as with a beginner, older adult, or individual who needs significant exercise modifications.
The right person is encouraging without being intimidating, comfortable learning new things, attentive to how people move, and genuinely interested in helping members improve their strength, mobility, confidence, and overall physical function.
Most importantly, we want someone who understands that fitness is not one-size-fits-all.
