Senior Instructor, Team & Growth Lead (Contract) Boxing 4 Health | Ottawa (East End home base) | $35–$39 per class, growing with you We're turning 10, and we're not slowing down. More members, more classes, and more people living with Parkinson's who deserve a place to fight back. To get there, we need a leader on the floor.
Someone who can coach a great class, rally a team, and turn "I'm interested" into "See you Tuesday." To be considered, you must have - 3+ years teaching group fitness classes - A recognized fitness certification (e.g. canfitpro, CSEP, or equivalent) - Current First Aid and CPR - Experience leading, supervising, or mentoring a team, in fitness or elsewhere - A vulnerable sector check (or able to get one) - Real heart for seniors and people living with Parkinson's. This one is non-negotiable.
About Us For 10 years, Boxing 4 Health has helped seniors and people living with Parkinson's get stronger, steadier, and more confident. Our neuro-informed programming was built in-house by our founder and head of physiotherapy, shaped by years of input from our instructors on the floor. It blends non-contact boxing, functional strength, cognitive games, voice work, and fine motor training, and we collaborate with the University of Ottawa on research studies.
We run classes at three Ottawa locations (East End, West End, and our HQ off Maitland) and in retirement homes, and we train instructors across Canada through our certification program. We're a small business with big plans, and we're building our leadership to match.
