What are the responsibilities and job description for the Group Fitness Instructor – Kickboxing & HIIT position at Fit Franchise Brands?
Hillsborough, NJ | Part-Time | $25–$35 per hour
Bring the energy. Own the room. Become part of a community that loves to train.
The MAX Fitness & Wellness of Hillsborough is looking for an energetic, experienced Group Fitness Instructor to step into four established weekly 45-minute classes and make an immediate impact.
Our biggest need right now is:
- Wednesday | 5:00 AM – HIIT
- Wednesday | 6:00 AM – HIIT
- Friday | 4:30 PM – Cardio Kickboxing
- Friday | 6:00 PM – Cardio Kickboxing
Ideally, we would love to find one instructor who can own all four classes, but we encourage you to apply if you have strong experience in either HIIT or cardio kickboxing and can cover part of the schedule.
These aren't classes you need to build from zero. Hillsborough has a strong community of longtime MAX members, above-average class participation, a knowledgeable and supportive team, and members who want to be coached, challenged, and motivated.
We're looking for someone who can walk into a room and create an experience.
The ideal candidate will know how to:
- Bring energy without making it feel forced
- Coach a room while still connecting with individuals
- Push experienced members while making newer members feel successful
- Use music, movement, personality, and coaching to create momentum
- Correct form and provide modifications without stopping the flow of class
- Remember names, celebrate progress, and build relationships
- Make members want to come back for the next class
At MAX, our instructors are a major part of the member experience. The right coach doesn't just lead a great workout, they help build attendance, retention, confidence, and community.
Previous kickboxing experience is highly preferred. However, we're willing to train the right experienced group fitness instructor who brings strong coaching ability, personality, professionalism, and a willingness to learn the MAX format.
A nationally accredited fitness certification is accepted and preferred.
Current CPR/AED certification is required.
The Opportunity
This is a part-time position centered around the four classes listed above.
There will also be opportunities to:
- Pick up additional permanent classes as they become available
- Cover classes for other instructors
- Expand into additional MAX class formats
- Increase compensation after earning the MAX-specific instructor certification
- Grow your role as our schedule and member community continue to grow
If you're looking to teach 25 classes per week, this probably isn't the position.
But if you're looking for a few established classes where you can walk in, build relationships, bring your personality, and make a noticeable impact, we'd love to meet you.
Compensation & Perks
$25–$35 per hour to start, commensurate with experience and coaching ability.
Additional benefits include:
- Opportunity for a pay increase after earning MAX-specific certification
- Complimentary MAX membership
- 25% off retail and supplements
- 30% discounts on NASM/AFAA certifications and continuing education
- Additional class opportunities as they become available
- A supportive team and established member community
Apply today and tell us what types of classes you currently teach, your experience with HIIT and/or cardio kickboxing, and which of the four class times above you're available to coach.
