At Team Bath we boast fantastic sports and fitness facilities within our iconic £35m Sports Training Village. Whilst we take great pride in our inspiring spaces and our sporting heritage, it's the energy of our people and our customers that truly matters. We're customer focused and pride ourselves in creating fantastic memories and feelings for our customers.

We wish to appoint a full-time Health and Fitness Instructor who shares our values of customer experience and a people-focussed approach. We want you to use your personality to make customers feel like this is a home from home!

You are required to hold a minimum Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification and will be required to gain Level 3 PT qualification within 6 months. Qualifications in group exercise classes, or a desire to teach are essential.

You will be passionate about the industry, show sound knowledge learned from your fitness qualifications and desire to develop yourself through ongoing learning.

The Team Bath Gym and Fitness Centre is a unique environment aimed to target the student population, athletes and the general public. The Health & Fitness provision has recently undergone a substantial expansion leading to a new larger gym designed to cater for the growing membership base. In addition to the gym there are two purpose-built studios to hold in excess of 100 classes per week.

This is an opportunity to become part of a professional and progressive organisation at the leading edge of sport, health and fitness. We pride ourselves on upholding excellent customer service and delivering fun, energetic and motivational group classes. Excellent communication skills with a genuine passion to help people get results is essential to the role.

We currently run a female-only gym session and are actively encouraging more women to become members. We particularly welcome female applicants, as they are under-represented within this department at this level.

The gym is open 7 days a week (from 6.30am - 10pm weekdays, and 8am-7pm on weekends).

This is a full-time role, working 36.5 hours per week, but there is also the added benefit of opportunities to teach additional classes and build a personal training base to supplement your income.
