【Brand Philosophy & Persona】 At J17 Performance, HIIT is never just about mindless physical exhaustion — it is a multi-sensory, immersive experience that seamlessly fuses high-octane musical rhythms with scientific precision. We are seeking exceptional HIIT instructors across the Greater Toronto Area. You must possess a magnetic, high-energy presence, flawless technical movement standards, and an absolute mastery over musical beats and class pacing, capable of creating an exercise space that is electric, scientifically professional, and genuinely irresistible for members to return to.
【Core Responsibilities - Rhythm, Pacing & Execution】 In this role, you will lead dynamic, high-intensity group functional classes. You must be deeply adept at using music rhythm and tempo to drive the room. The class structure must be meticulously planned and layered with progressive sequencing, ensuring every interval perfectly builds up to the upcoming athletic challenges. Without breaking the high-octane energy and musical flow of the room, you are expected to deliver precise, well-timed cueing that corrects alignment and activates athletic awareness; meanwhile, you will help members understand the scientific intention of each explosive movement.
【Core Responsibilities - Scalability & Brand DNA】 Facing members of varying fitness levels, from beginners to competitive athletes, you must effortlessly provide scalable regressions or hardcore progressions to ensure every single individual is fully engaged and immersed in the state of flow. You are not merely an instructor, but a living ambassador for J17's brand DNA: "high-intensity, fearless, and relentless pursuit of excellence." With your pure on-site charisma and rhythmic drive, you will craft every class into an industry benchmark that seamlessly blends the thrill of a hard-core workout with premium scientific movement.
【Primary Responsibilities】
- Deliver Elite Performance Experiences: Cultivate confidence, athletic competence, and enjoyment through challenging, community-driven group HIIT/Functional classes.
- Craft Premium Programming: Develop structured interval workouts, high-energy playlists synced to movement tempo, and signature elements that elevate your unique coaching style within the J17 brand framework.
- Inspire & Connect: Motivate and empower clients and fellow team members, building authentic relationships both inside and outside of class to foster a high-retention community.
- Arrive Prepared: Arrive 15–20 minutes before each class, fully prepared to execute flawless operations and deliver an exceptional member experience.
- Champion the Brand: Represent J17 Fitness with pride, acting as a professional brand ambassador both inside and outside the studio, including participating in digital media and brand campaigns.
【Qualifications and Requirements】 Required:
- A recognized and accredited Personal Training (CPT) or Group Fitness Instructor (GFI) certification.
- Proven and substantial experience leading dynamic group HIIT, Functional, or Hyrox classes within a premium boutique fitness environment.
- Exceptional musicality and rhythmic awareness: A proven ability to map exercises flawlessly to musical beats (BPM) and utilize sound and tone to command room energy.
- A deep understanding of functional anatomy, metabolic conditioning, and biomechanics, with the ability to seamlessly deliver scalable modifications on the fly.
- A current, valid Standard First Aid and CPR/AED certification.
Nice to Have:
- An academic background in Kinesiology/Exercise Science, or holding an official Hyrox Certified Coach credential.
- An established local following or a demonstrated track record of retaining clients and driving referral growth.

- We are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations for applicants upon request at any stage of the recruitment process, in accordance with all legislative requirements throughout Canada. Please inform us if you require accommodation due to a disability at any point, and we will work closely with you to meet your needs.
