JOIN OUR TEAM!
We are always looking for great coaches who share our mission of creating a more inclusive and diverse fitness community. We're an ever-evolving work-in-progress. Where and how we grow is dictated by our community, both members and staff. So if you're a great fit for either an open job, or just have a new idea you'd like to work on with us, get in touch.
WHO:
We are actively seeking, and will prioritize, applicants who represent diversity. BIPOC, LGBTQIA, HAES, Adaptive.... That's not to say that you have to "check a box" to be a coach here, but we are actively seeking and prioritizing people who help advance diversification of ideas around fitness.
CURRENT OPENINGS:
*We don't have any openings right now. BUT, if you have a burning idea or unquenchable desire, reach out anyway. We are always open to new ideas and awesome new people.*
-
REQUIREMENTS for all adult group classes:
-
Must have relevant, nationally recognized coaching credentials, for insurance reasons. That could be CrossFit L1, USAW, NASM, ACE, OPEX, CPT or the like. For coaching group classes with HIIT and Weightlifting, we can't accept yoga & Pilates trainer certs.
-
EXPECTATIONS for all classes:
-
Must share our vision of inclusivity in fitness, and be open to learning how we do it at Rocket. How to coach a class without using gender. How to incorporate consent into coaching cues. Be open to learning on the fly, because as well-intentioned as we all may be, sometimes we only learn by messing up, the important part is the learning.
-
Must be comfortable modifying any workout to any body. That often includes switching out moves altogether, or just knowing a safer progression to work around injuries.
-
We will ask for, and check, references from past employers.
-
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS for all employees:
-
Competitive hourly wage (per time, not class) Min $25 an hour to start

*Kid's Coach*
We're looking to rebuild a kid's and teens program. Prior to the pandemic, this was a thriving part of our gym, we want to get it going again. If you're interested in starting a kid's program, we're interested in talking to you.
*Personal Trainers and Specialty Classes*
We're always looking for folks who can use our gym in the "off" hours to train their personal clients, or run specialty classes. If you need a place to do that, let us know.
