Group Exercise Instructor

acac Fitness & Wellness Center

Certified Group Exercise Instructor

Bring the Energy. Inspire the Crowd. Change Lives.

Are you the kind of person who lights up a room (or studio) the moment the music starts? We're looking for passionate, high-energy certified Group Exercise Instructors who love to motivate, inspire, and create unforgettable fitness experiences for our members. Whether it's HIIT, cycle, dance, barre, Pilates or yoga — your enthusiasm will get people moving and keep them coming back for more. Lead members through exceptional classes that embody energy, precision, and passion. You set the tone, you lead the movement, and you elevate the club experience with every beat, cue, and smile.

What You'll Do

  • Arrive early, ready to energize the room — organized, prepared, and confident in your routine and playlist.
  • Welcome and connect with members, ensuring every participant feels seen, supported, and empowered.
  • Lead fun, challenging, and safe group workouts with passion and professionalism.
  • Deliver safe, effective, and inspiring classes with exceptional form, energy, and enthusiasm.
  • Keep the studio space clean, organized, and inviting.
  • Step in to support teammates, special events, and community activities that bring our club to life.
  • Be an ambassador for our club — spreading good vibes, motivating members, and building a loyal following.

What You Bring

  • Current and active group fitness certification (AFAA, ACE, Les Mills, Zumba, AEA, or equivalent).
  • Proven experience teaching group exercise in a luxury or professional fitness environment.
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills — you know how to connect and motivate!
  • The ability to demonstrate and perform exercises safely.
  • Availability to teach a variety of formats, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.
  • Minimum age: 18 years old.

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Be part of a vibrant, supportive fitness community known for excellence and innovation.
  • Opportunities to teach a variety of formats and grow your personal brand.
  • Access to top-notch facilities and continuing education support.
  • A fun, team-oriented environment that celebrates positivity and wellness.

Company Expectations

  • Read, sign, and abide by the policies included in the Team Member Handbook
  • Park in team member designated areas
  • Club cleanliness is an all-team responsibility; assist whenever necessary in any area of the club to keep club neat and clean
  • Attend mandatory Group Exercise team meetings
  • Assist with Service Days, as assigned by Supervisor
  • Assist with club programs, special events, or activities, as assigned by Supervisor
  • Promptly respond to work-related correspondence
  • Exhibit a positive attitude at all times
  • Deliver outstanding service to members and guests, following acac's Five*Star principles

Our Promise

We deliver five-star experiences in every class, every time. If you're a certified professional with the passion to inspire and the presence to command the room, we want you on our team. Come share your energy, elevate your craft, and inspire others to move, sweat, and smile.
