Become a Group-X Instructor! We are looking for people interested in teaching in our Floor division. Instructors in this division teach classes like cardio, zumba, box, step, group strength and other classes we offer in the studio and gyms. Candidates must go through level 1 and level 2 tryouts to qualify. Successful candidates are admitted into our American Council on Exercise Group Fitness Instructor Exam prep course and our mentoring program.
Here is what we look for:
Have experience in attending fitness classes like cardio, step, etc.

If you have experience in teaching a fitness class that helps but is not necessary as we provide training.

You will participate in a 30-minute workout led by a Rec Sports Group Fitness Instructor.
You will be given a number to wear on your person to be in clear, visual sight of the evaluation team.
The workout will consist of a warm-up, a cardiovascular segment, flexibility and floor conditioning.

If you are selected to participate in the second level of tryouts, you will be notified by e-mail within 10 days of the October 12, 2008 tryout event.
Level 2 tryouts are scheduled for Sunday, October 26. This tryout consists of you leading a group of your peers in a 12-15 minute workout. A CD of music will be loaned to you to use for your audition (Level 2). You will have to identify an eight
count move and a 32 count phrase in the music and develop moves to follow that pattern. The Fitness Director will schedule an interview and prep session with you prior to October 26. At the interview, you will be given an informational handout, indicating what you
are to do for the second try-out, and how you will be evaluated.
