Children's Fitness Instructor

The Little Gym of Arlington/Mansfield | Mansfield, TX | Part-Time | Weekends Required


Are you the person who lights up a room the moment you walk in? Do kids naturally gravitate toward you? Can you make a two-year-old laugh and a skeptical parent feel completely at ease — at the same time? If that sounds like a Tuesday for you, keep reading.

We're looking for an instructor who brings Miss Rachel-level energy to the gym floor every single class. Animated. Warm. Completely in their element with little ones. This is a performance role as much as it is a coaching role, and we need someone who gets that and loves it.

What You'll Do

• Lead gymnastics, movement, dance, and enrichment classes for children ages 4 months to 12 years
• Bring your full energy to every class — back-to-back sessions, weekend mornings included
• Connect genuinely with kids at every developmental stage and adapt on the fly
• Build relationships with families that make them feel like this is their second home
• Keep the gym safe, clean, and organized

Schedule

Saturday and Sunday mornings are our busiest, highest-energy time of the week and are required for this role. Weekday hours available as well.

What We're Looking For

• Naturally expressive, animated, and enthusiastic — you don't perform energy, you have it
• Genuine love for babies, toddlers, and kids (this is obvious in person and you know if it's you)
• Reliable and consistent — our families plan their week around our schedule
• Strong communicator with both children and adults
• Physical stamina for active, high-energy classes
• 18+ and able to pass a background check

Bonus points for: gymnastics, dance, cheer, theater, or performing arts background; early childhood education or coaching experience; CPR/First Aid certification

What You Get

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience
• Paid training — no prior The Little Gym experience required
• Consistent scheduling in a professionally run gym
• Clear growth path to Senior Instructor, Shift Leader, and beyond
• A team that holds a high bar and has fun doing it
