• Create fun, innovative group exercise and wellness programs that keep members motivated and engaged.
• Be a visible role model on the wellness floor, inspiring healthy living by example.
• Make sure our facilities and equipment shine, because a safe, welcoming space matters.

• A HS diploma/GED required (2-year degree in Recreation, Therapeutic Rec, or Health preferred-but relevant experience works too!).
• Experience with group exercise, program development, or YMCA wellness programs.
• Certifications (or ability to obtain within 60 days): CPR/AED, BBP, and First Aid.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills.
• Someone who can lift up to 50 lbs.
• A team player who thrives in both office and active fitness environments.

• Change lives by helping members reach their health and wellness goals.
• Grow your skills through leadership opportunities and professional development.
• Make an impact in a diverse, welcoming, and supportive community.

We live by Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. At the Y, you'll help ensure everyone-regardless of background-has the opportunity to thrive.
