Life’s too short to not work someplace awesome! If you love kids, enjoy moving, and being active in your job while having a ton of fun, you may be the person we are looking for!
The Little Gym of Scottsdale is hiring bubbly, high-energy instructors who thrive in a room full of kids and bring enough enthusiasm to light up the gym. This is one of those rare jobs that doesn’t feel like a job — because every day you’ll be singing songs, sparking imaginations, teaching gymnastics and tumbling fundamentals, and helping children build confidence that lasts far beyond the gym.
With more than 300 locations worldwide, The Little Gym is the premier enrichment and physical development center for children ages 4 months to 12 years. For 50 years, The Little Gym has helped millions of kids experience the thrill of achievement, develop new skills, and grow their confidence through gymnastics-based programs (Parent/Child, Pre-K, and Grade School classes) in a clean, fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
