Job Description Overview Kalamazoo Athletic Club is looking for energetic, creative, and community-driven Group Fitness, Movement & Wellness Instructors to help us build the next generation of programming at KAC.

Your specialty might be yoga, mat Pilates, barre, hip-hop, dance fitness, strength, mobility, stretching, recovery, meditation, breathwork, or something we haven't even thought of yet. You may teach one specialty exceptionally well or be certified across several different formats. Either way, we want to meet you. What Could You Teach at KAC? Depending on your experience, certifications, and professional training, opportunities may include: Yoga Mat Pilates Pilates-inspired strength Barre Hip-hop Dance fitness Cardio dance Yoga sculpt Strength + sculpt Core + conditioning Low-impact strength Mobility Stretch + recovery Balance + stability Functional movement Beginner movement classes Athletic mobility Runner's stretch + recovery Meditation Mindfulness Breathwork Somatic-inspired movement Active recovery Specialty workshops Private or small-group experiences Corporate wellness Hotel guest wellness experiences Outdoor and seasonal classes Member events and pop-ups And if you teach something that isn't on this list— tell us about it.
