Pilates Instructor

Company Overview:

BODYBAR Pilates North County is a locally owned Pilates group operating multiple studios in North County San Diego, including La Costa and Vista. Our Vista studio opened March 2, 2026, and we currently run 140+ classes per week across our locations.

While we operate within the nationally recognized BODYBAR brand, our studios are hands-on, detail-oriented, and instructor-driven, with a strong focus on high-quality instruction, consistency, and team accountability.

At BODYBAR, instructors are expected to:

Be reliable, prepared, and professional

Take initiative and manage their responsibilities

Communicate clearly and respectfully with team members and leadership

Work collaboratively as part of a team

Be open to feedback, coaching, and continued growth

Deliver technically sound, well-run classes every time

Feedback is part of the culture here... not as criticism, but as a tool for consistency and growth. As a founding instructor, you will help shape the studio’s reputation, member experience, and long-term success from day one.

The Opportunity:

We are actively hiring instructors across our North County studios as our schedule continues to grow. With 140+ classes per week, this offers real schedules, consistency, and strong earning potential.

We are looking for instructors with flexible availability, including early mornings, mid-mornings, evenings, weekends, and subbing coverage as needed.

Training takes place at BODYBAR La Costa, with teaching opportunities available at both La Costa and Vista locations.

We offer multiple scholarship options for instructors with prior Pilates or group fitness experience.
