Job Description

Pilates Reformer Instructor

Part-Time
$50-$100 per class
(Compensation is based on class attendance and participant volume.)

Inspire Movement. Build Strength. Change Lives.

Are you passionate about helping people move better, build confidence, and improve their overall health through Pilates?

Universal Athletic Club is expanding its Pilates Reformer program and is looking for an enthusiastic, engaging instructor to join our growing team.

Our Pilates program delivers professionally designed, progressive Reformer workouts that emphasize proper movement, strength, mobility, core stability, and long-term results. You'll coach members through safe, effective, and motivating classes while creating an exceptional member experience in a supportive, team-oriented environment.

Please Read Before Applying

This is NOT a traditional or classical Pilates studio position.

Universal Athletic Club offers a contemporary, fitness-focused Reformer program that blends functional movement, strength training, mobility, athletic performance, and core development in a dynamic group fitness environment.

Our instructors coach members through pre-designed, progressive workouts rather than creating their own class programming. We are looking for energetic coaches who enjoy leading groups, motivating members, improving movement quality, and helping people become stronger and more confident through fitness.

If your passion is coaching functional fitness on the Reformer, you'll love this role. If you're seeking a traditional or classical Pilates teaching environment, or prefer creating your own class programming, this position is probably not the right fit.

Who We're Looking For

We welcome applicants from a variety of fitness and movement backgrounds, including:

• Group Fitness Instructors
• Personal Trainers
• Athletic Trainers
• Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs)
• Exercise Physiologists
• Exercise Science or Kinesiology Graduates
• Other qualified movement professionals who enjoy coaching and inspiring others

Pilates Reformer certification is not required. We are looking for candidates who are excited to learn our chosen Reformer training system and teach within our established progressive programming.

What You'll Do

• Lead safe, engaging Pilates Reformer classes for up to 12 participants.
• Coach members of varying fitness levels by providing appropriate progressions, regressions, and modifications while maintaining the integrity of the workout.
• Deliver professionally designed, progressive programming that helps members improve over time while ensuring consistency and variety.
• Provide exceptional coaching, cueing, and instruction with an emphasis on safety, technique, and member experience.
• Build positive relationships with members while creating an encouraging, motivating class environment.
• Follow established operating procedures and programming standards while contributing to a positive team culture.

Availability

We are seeking instructors with availability for one or more of the following:

• Weekday mornings (approximately 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.)
• Weekday evenings (approximately 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.)
• Weekends (approximately 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)

Qualifications

Required

• Experience leading group exercise, personal training, or other movement-based coaching strongly preferred.
• Outstanding coaching, cueing, communication, and customer service skills.
• Professional, energetic, dependable, and relationship-focused.
• Team-oriented with excellent attendance and reliability.
• Willingness to complete Universal Athletic Club's Reformer instructor training program and teach within our established programming.
• CPR/AED certification is required to teach. Certification is not required prior to hire, as Universal Athletic Club provides complimentary in-house CPR/AED certification for team members on a monthly basis.
