☕ Baristas: Ready to Trade Coffee for High-Fives?
You know that feeling when you remember someone's order before they even say it? When the morning rush is chaos, but you're smiling, keeping the line moving, and making someone's day one cup at a time?
Those skills are worth more than you think.
At My Gym Children's Fitness Center, we're looking for outgoing, energetic people who know how to create amazing experiences—and baristas are some of our favorite people to hire.
☕ Why Baristas Thrive Here
You already know how to:
- Make people feel welcome from the moment they walk in.
- Stay calm during a rush.
- Multitask like a pro.
- Build relationships with regulars.
- Work hard while keeping a positive attitude.
- Be part of a team that depends on each other.
Now imagine using those same skills to help kids build confidence, celebrate milestones, and have the best hour of their week.
No espresso machine required.
🎉 What's the Job?
Instead of serving coffee, you'll be leading songs, games, obstacle courses, birthday parties, and celebrating every little victory with babies, toddlers, and young kids.
You'll spend your day moving, laughing, encouraging, and making memories—not staring at a register or hearing another drink order.
🌟 You'll Love This Job If...
- You genuinely enjoy making people smile.
- You have amazing customer service skills.
- You're energetic and don't mind being a little goofy.
- You'd rather be active than stand behind a counter.
- You work well with a team.
- You're dependable and show up when people count on you.
⭐ What We're Looking For
- A genuine love for children.
- Availability for 25+ hours each week, including some weekends.
- Someone who's coachable and excited to learn.
- Confidence speaking and performing in front of groups.
- Willingness to help clean and keep our gym safe.
- Positive energy and leadership.
Bonus points if you've done dance, theater, sports, fitness—or if you're simply the coworker who always keeps morale high.
💰 What's in It for You?
Starting pay is $16.90/hour, with trained coaches averaging $ 18-$20/hour.
Plus:
- 🎉 Tips from birthday parties.
- 📈 Opportunities to grow—we promote from within.
- 🏥 Medical insurance allowance.
- 🌴 Paid Time Off.
- 📚 Educational stipend.
- 🍎 Free snacks (because we know food matters).
- 🤸 A fun, active workday instead of standing behind a counter.
❤️ Why People Make the Switch
Because this job feels different.
You won't just be helping customers through their morning—you'll become one of the best parts of a child's week.
You'll celebrate first cartwheels, first jumps, first friendships, and huge confidence boosts.
That's something you get to take home every day.

Every day at over 700 My Gyms in over 20 countries worldwide, children have loads of fun as they develop physically, cognitively, and emotionally. My Gym programs focus on growth in all three categories because we view each step of development in these areas as a “building block” toward becoming a happy, healthy, well-adjusted human being. The thrill of accomplishment from achieving a physical task builds self-esteem and confidence that carry over into all aspects of a child’s life. My Gym’s program helps children develop independence, self-discipline, social skills and even a sense of humor, all of which lead to an increased feeling of self-worth. A child who feels good about him/herself has a jump start on the path to success.
The My Gym program is the most innovative in the children’s educational fitness industry. In addition to the development of award-winning programs for children ages 6 weeks to 10 years, My Gym Enterprises has also developed financial, marketing, and administrative systems that help our franchisees every step of the way as they grow their business. MGE’s continuing support to our franchisees is unparalleled in the field of franchising.
HISTORY
The innovative My Gym concept began bouncing around in 1983 when our three founders – Yacov and Susi Sherman and Bill Caplin – collaborated to create a truly unique children’s fitness curriculum. Each having a different fitness-focused background: dance, gymnastics, and overall athletics, the trio put together a program that combined all three.
Their ultimate goal? To give kids a place to call their own – not mom’s gym, not dad’s gym – my gym.
Enter Cory Bertisch and Monique Vranesh, family friends of the Shermans. With Cory and Monique’s aid and ambition, the My Gym franchise opportunity became official in 1994 and spread strategically across the United States before expanding internationally in 2008.
