Group Fitness Instructor (Part-time)

We are in search of a group fitness instructor to teach roughly 5 classes/per week and substitute classes as needed at our boutique studio in Evanston.

Sona is Gaelic for prosperity and happiness, which embodies the ethos of our mission. Thus an ideal team member is a positive person who has a genuine interest in helping clients improve their lives. Our team works in a collaborative manner, so we are looking for a team player who is accountable and punctual.

This role is responsible for planning and leading safe, engaging group fitness classes within our signature class curriculum (HIIT, Strength, Cardio/Core, and Cycle/Strength). While there are certain parameters that must be met for each different class types, you will have autonomy to design your own classes within our guidelines.
