Personal trainer with pilates teaching qualification

Looking for a fitness space that actually feels good to be part of?

Haven is a body-positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive fitness and yoga studio in Sydney's Inner West. Originally founded as a women's space, Haven has evolved alongside our community and now warmly welcomes women, non-binary and trans folk in a supportive, inclusive environment centred around safety, connection and compassionate movement.

We have recently added Mat Pilates to our timetable as an additional class offering, following the professional development and interests of some of our team members. While Pilates is a valued part of our schedule, Haven remains primarily as it began – as a personal training, strength, fitness and yoga studio rather than a dedicated Pilates studio. We're looking for a Personal Trainer who can confidently teach a Mat Pilates class alongside predominantly delivering personal training and other fitness services.

We're growing our team and looking for Personal Trainers who are also qualified as a Pilates Instructor to join us in a casual capacity, with opportunities for:

• Casual cover shifts; and/or
• Regular shifts of 3-7 hours in duration – negotiable to fit with your schedule.

• Exciting flexible opportunities to run your own specialised sessions on top and drive your own income, utilising the beautiful Haven client base, space, booking system – just bring your specialised services to Haven!
• An amazing space to offer workshops, special courses & events or even being part of our international retreats – we love welcoming your ideas & collaborating! Check out some of the events we've created with our team: https://www.havenwellness.com.au/events.

This role is ideal for someone who is values-aligned, mature-minded, community-driven, and looking for flexible work in a genuinely supportive and inclusive space.
