Kickboxing Instructor

Company Description Community Fitness is more than a place to work out—it’s where joy, confidence, and connection come alive. Our members call it their “happy place,” and it shows. For over 20 years in the Roosevelt neighborhood, we have been offering group fitness exclusively because we believe movement is more energizing—and more fun—when shared. Our instructors have professional backgrounds as former athletes, coaches, and choreographers who care deeply about supporting our members’ health. These elite instructors provide a diverse range of classes including our specialty in dance fitness (hip hop, afro dancehall, urban latin and more), strength & conditioning, step, Bodypump, pilates, barre, yoga and stretch so people can explore and stay fit in different ways. Many of our instructors have been with us for 10 years because we offer a uniquely respectful, supportive, and high-quality environment (2,500 square feet with LED mood lighting and a state-of-the-art A/V system). Management and our members deeply value and respect the professional instruction and consistent coaching and we encourage instructors to be creative, collaborate and connect. Because our real magic is our community. From newcomers in their twenties to longtime locals in their seventies, people show up for each other and make sure everyone feels supported (zero judgment) and welcome. At Community Fitness, people leave class feeling empowered, energized, and part of something truly special.

Role Description Do you like to inspire and educate others to get fit and feel confident while having fun? Do you like working in a studio that cares about nurturing a welcoming and supportive community among instructors and clients? Do you enjoy an environment where you are respected for your expertise and allowed to be creative? Then come explore Community Fitness. Our instructors are the heart of our studio and we want them to share their passion and expertise with our wonderful community.

We are currently seeking a Group Fitness Instructor who will lead high-energy group cardio kick-boxing class, demonstrating proper technique, form and modifications for a range of fitness levels and abilities. Techniques can leverage practices from different training regiments (martial arts such as muay thai, turbo kick, booty, other). Responsibilities include designing class formats and playlists, preparing and leading safe and engaging workouts, and monitoring participants to ensure proper form and injury prevention. The instructor will greet and support members before and after class, answer questions, and help foster a welcoming, community-oriented studio experience.

One of our teachers taught a class and people are begging for more. So we either need someone who wants to teach a regular class OR occasionally sub for our regular instructor. Depending upon the role, it could be a weekday morning (9am or 11:30am) or evening class (7:30pm). We hope to find someone in July 2026 to start providing pop-up classes and then start in September. We pay 1.5 hours per class starting at $50/class increasing with experience and performance.
