Position Overview
Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered Fitness Instructor to facilitate a short-format after-school enrichment course for students (grade band varies by assignment). This course supports students in developing healthy movement habits, physical literacy, and confidence through structured, age-appropriate activities that prioritize safety, inclusivity, and positive participation.

Instruction should be educational and skills-based, aligned with site policies and supervision expectations. This role is not intended to provide medical guidance, diagnosis, or individualized training plans. The instructor will deliver instruction across a typical 10-week cycle, with pacing adapted to student readiness and site logistics.

What You Will Teach
Students will participate in guided fitness routines and movement-based activities designed to build foundational strength, endurance, coordination, balance, and flexibility in a supportive environment. Lessons may include warm-ups, skill-building circuits, low-impact cardio, bodyweight exercises, mobility work, and games that reinforce teamwork and goal-setting.

Major Topics Can Include

• Safe movement practices (warm-up/cool-down routines, hydration reminders, listening to the body)
• Foundational fitness concepts (endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination)
• Age-appropriate bodyweight exercises and movement patterns (squat, hinge, push, pull, core stability)
• Cardio and conditioning games (relay formats, stations, interval-style activities)
• Flexibility and mobility routines (dynamic stretching, range-of-motion activities)
• Fitness goal-setting and habit-building (SMART goals, tracking progress, reflection)
• Teamwork and sportsmanship (encouragement, respectful competition, collaboration)
• Mind-body wellness connections (breathing, focus, simple stress-management movement routines)
• Injury prevention basics (form cues, safe space awareness, pacing and rest)

• Deliver a 10-session fitness course with clear objectives and structured lesson plans
• Maintain safety-first routines, including appropriate warm-ups, cool-downs, and clear movement expectations
• Differentiate activities to support varied fitness levels, confidence, and mobility needs
• Establish positive group management and inclusive participation norms
• Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
• Adapt pacing and activities based on space, equipment availability, and student readiness while maintaining intended outcomes

• Minimum of 60 college credits (or Associate degree in progress/completed)
• Experience leading group fitness, physical activity programming, coaching, or youth wellness activities
• Experience working with school-age students in structured settings (school, after-school, camps, youth programs)
• Strong facilitation skills, clear communication, and comfort managing active groups safely
• Reliable, punctual, and professional; able to follow school policies and program boundaries
• Ability to model and teach safe form cues and maintain an inclusive, supportive environment
