We’re not just a gym, or a workout. We’re a community of people from a wide range of backgrounds who are all passionate about the benefits of practicing Muay Thai, and we welcome you to join our family.

Lotus Fitness is the newest Muay Thai training facility located in Liberty Village in Toronto. We are proud of our inclusive, progressive, and welcoming culture.

Our team is comprised of passionate and experienced Muay Thai and Fitness Professionals looking to bring authentic Muay Thai training to our community. We’re looking for someone who shares that passion to join our new team.

Lotus Fitness and Thai Boxing Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We look forward to learning about you!

The Opportunity

Lotus Fitness and Thai Boxing is a well-regarded Muay Thai gym in Liberty Village, Toronto, known for our positive and inclusive culture. Additionally, our fight team includes Canadian National and IFMA Pan-American champions and we pride ourselves on delivering technical coaching.

After five successful years at our current location, we are doubling our square footage and wish to launch a new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program.

We are seeking an experienced BJJ Instructor to help us build this program from the ground up. This is a part-time position designed for someone who is passionate about the sport and committed to cultivating a welcoming community.

What We’re Looking For:

We are seeking an instructor who is an exceptional technical coach and, most importantly, a cultural fit.

• Experience: A proven track record as a BJJ practitioner with teaching experience. Teaching kid’s programs is a plus.
• Availability: Must be able to commit to part-time evening and/or weekend hours.
• Location: Ideally lives or works close to Liberty Village for easy commuting.
• Computer Skills: Familiar with iPad/Android devices, and competency with gym management software is a plus.
• Part-Time Employment: As we are expanding into BJJ, this role is strictly a part-time evening/weekend position, so we are unable to offer full-time employment at this time.
• Community & Values: You must share our gym’s core values:
  • Inclusivity & Respect: You must be committed to creating an equitable and respectful training environment for people of all backgrounds, identities, and skill levels.
  • Progressive Mindset: We are looking for individuals who actively foster an atmosphere free of toxicity, misogyny, or discrimination. We are a progressive and diversity-focused gym.

What’s the Role Like:

• Arrive 15 minutes before the start of class to go through our Gym Opening procedures
• Greet our First Time visitors and give them a tour of the facility, explain how class works, and get them ready for a successful class
• Greeting Existing members as they enter the gym and verify they are registered to attend
• Lead the full 60 or 90 minute class as scheduled from start to finish
• After members have left, go through our Gym Closing procedures and securely lock up the facility

What We Offer:

• Positive Culture: Join a supportive, non-toxic, and inclusive environment where everyone is valued.
• Competitive Pay: We offer competitive compensation for your time and expertise. We believe at minimum, people should be paid at or above Toronto’s living wage, and for all the work they do.
• New Opportunity: The opportunity to shape and grow a nascent BJJ program according to your vision, free from old habits or traditions, supported by a stable business infrastructure.
• Facilities: Our facility is bright, spacious, and airy, and located steps away from Exhibition TTC & GO Station in Liberty Village.

How to Apply:

Email us at careers@lotusfitness.ca with your resume (yes, we want to know about your non-BJJ education and work background as well!) and tell us about why you think we’d be a great fit for each other!
