Job Description
Sydney Inner West | Regular shifts and/or casual cover opportunities
n
Love Pilates, but don't necessarily want to work in a Pilates-only studio?
n
Or perhaps you're a Personal Trainer who loves combining strength, fitness and Pilates - and you're looking for somewhere a little different to grow?
n
Haven is looking for a brilliant Personal Trainer who is also qualified to teach Mat Pilates
to join our small, values-led team in Sydney's Inner West.
n
We're open to finding the right fit - whether you're looking for
regular weekly shifts, occasional casual cover work, or a combination of both.
A little about the role n
Haven isn't a dedicated Pilates studio.
n
We're a personal training, strength, fitness, yoga and movement studio, with Mat Pilates as one of our much-loved class offerings.
n
So while
Mat Pilates qualifications and confident class teaching are essential for this particular role
, we're looking first and foremost for someone who genuinely enjoys
Personal Training and coaching people across different kinds of movement
.
n
Depending on your availability and experience, shifts may include a combination of:
n
n
Mat Pilates class or two
n
1:1 Personal Training
n
Semi-Private Personal Training - up to 3 clients
n
Small group Strength/Fitness sessions
n
Client support and connection
n
Light studio/admin tasks that help keep our little community humming
n
n
For trainers interested in
regular shifts
, let's chat! We have a variety of potential shifts up for grabs.
n
If regular shifts aren't what you're looking for, we'd also love to hear from great trainers interested in joining our
casual covers team
.
The right person matters enormously to us. n
Haven is a
body-positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive movement studio




created as an alternative for people who often haven't felt comfortable or represented in mainstream fitness spaces.
n
There are:
n
No weigh-ins.
n
No before-and-after photos.
n
No "Pilates body".
n
No food guilt or diet talk.
n
No assumption that smaller, leaner, fitter or more flexible = better.
n
Our offerings aren't about creating longer, leaner bodies or chasing a particular aesthetic.
n
They're about helping people explore movement, build strength and confidence, connect with their bodies and hopefully have a really good time doing it.
n
We use
invitational, collaborative coaching
and recognise that the client is the expert in their own lived experience and body. Our role is to offer skilled guidance, options and support - not dictate what somebody "should" be able to do.
n
You'll work with people across different ages, body sizes, identities, abilities, movement histories and confidence levels - including plenty of people who may have previously felt that Pilates or gyms simply weren't "for them".
You might be our person if you... n
n
Hold
Cert III & IV in Fitness
n
Hold a recognised
Mat Pilates qualification
n
Have current First Aid & CPR
n
Genuinely enjoy Personal Training as well as teaching Pilates
n
Can confidently lead engaging, inclusive Mat Pilates classes
n
Are warm, approachable and genuinely valuable with people
n
Are
reliable, communicative and take ownership of your commitments
n
Can adapt movement for different bodies,



abilities and experience levels
n
Use collaborative, invitational coaching rather than a "trainer knows best" approach
n
Are comfortable working completely outside weight-loss and diet-culture messaging
n
Care about making movement accessible, enjoyable and welcoming
n
Enjoy being part of a small team and getting to know your clients
n
n
Additional experience in strength, mobility, boxing, yoga or other movement modalities is a lovely bonus.
n
We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented in mainstream fitness spaces, including trainers of diverse body sizes, ages, genders and cultural backgrounds.
What you'll get n
n
Above-award casual rates + super
n
Regular weekly shifts and/or flexible cover opportunities
n
A beautiful, character-filled Inner West studio
n
A wonderfully diverse community to coach
n
A small, supportive team
n
Space to bring your personality and strengths to your coaching
n
Opportunities to contribute ideas, specialised sessions, workshops and other fun stuff
n
A workplace where you don't have to sell weight loss, aesthetics or the mythical "Pilates body" to help people feel great through movement
n
n
This could suit an experienced trainer looking for a refreshing change,
or a newer trainer with maturity, initiative and the right values who wants somewhere supportive to grow.
n
We care far more about finding
the right human
than the longest CV.
Sound like your kind of place? n
We'd love to meet you.
n
Please send your CV plus a short introduction telling us
why Haven's approach appeals to you and what you'd love to bring to our community
to , or complete this quick 2-minute form here.
