3 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants

We’re hiring a community‑embedded, working Pilates instructor in NYC who’s excited to help shape the next generation of NYP instructors. This is a true player‑coach role: you’ll spend about 50% of your week teaching on our studio floor, and the other half building our instructor community – sourcing and meeting great talent, interviewing, and running in‑studio auditions to bring the right people into NYP.

This isn’t a corporate recruiting job. It’s a relationship‑driven, community‑forward position for someone who cares about craft, culture, and raising the bar – and who’s always thinking, “Who should we meet next?”

• Build the pipeline: spend time in the NYC Pilates community (online + IRL) meeting instructors, spotting talent, and consistently sourcing strong candidates.
• Be a brand ambassador: take classes at other studios, show up in the community, and sell the NYP style, standards, and culture to prospective instructors.
• Hand off to recruiting: source and refer certified, eligible candidates who are ready for audition and hire, based on quarterly pipeline goals set by leadership.
• Own auditions end‑to‑end: schedule and confirm auditions, manage on‑site flow and candidate experience, and partner with recruiting to score and select talent.
• Teach 20 hours/week: lead NYP reformer classes with our signature programming on a consistent schedule.
• Plan with recruiting: stay aligned on hiring needs, pipeline priorities, and timelines so sourcing efforts match what we need next.

• You consistently deliver a strong flow of certified, eligible instructor candidates who are ready for audition and hire, hitting quarterly pipeline goals set by leadership.
• Auditions run smoothly and feel on‑brand; candidates are prepared, the experience is organized, and the recruiting team has what they need to make clear decisions.

• Deep roots in the NYC Pilates/fitness community and a natural ability to meet people, build relationships, and spot great talent.
• 5+ years teaching Pilates with a strong reputation for quality instruction and professionalism.
• Comprehensive Pilates certification (400+ hours) and experience teaching group reformer on 8+ machines.
• Live within 15 miles of the market and can reliably teach 20 hours/week on a consistent schedule.
• Comfort leading in‑person auditions / talent days (or similar live evaluation environments); organized, calm, and candidate‑friendly.
• Strong communication and follow‑through: you’re responsive, organized, and able to keep a pipeline moving.
• A proactive, people‑first mindset - you thrive in a fast‑paced studio environment and represent the NYP brand well in the community.

• Consistent Scheduling – Block schedules for work‑life balance
• Competitive Pay – $90,000‑110,000; full‑time staff also receive PTO, medical, and 401k
• World‑Class Training – Learn and teach our renowned Arms, Abs, Ass® method
• Lifestyle Perks – Complimentary NYP membership + merch discounts
