Self-Employed Fitness & Wellness Instructors – Lower Earley, Reading
Company Description
The Better YOU Project is an established health, fitness and wellbeing business based in Reading, Berkshire.
Our aim has always been simple: to help people become healthier, happier, stronger and more confident, while creating an environment where people feel genuinely supported rather than intimidated or lost.
After building an established Personal Training and coaching business, we have now expanded into our new private training and wellness studio in Lower Earley, Reading.
The new facility brings together:
- 1-to-1 Personal Training
- Small Group Personal Training
- Yoga
- Pilates
- Mobility and movement
- Health and wellbeing services
- Recovery and treatment services
We are building something intentionally different from a traditional commercial gym — a welcoming, personal environment where clients are known by name and receive high-quality coaching and support.
As we prepare to launch our wider class timetable from mid to late September, we are looking to build a fantastic team of local instructors who share those values.
Role Description
We are looking for self-employed Fitness and Wellness Instructors to deliver sessions from our new studio in Lower Earley, Reading (RG6).
We have opportunities for both:
- Regular weekly sessions
- Ad-hoc / holiday and sickness cover
We would therefore love to hear from you even if you are already teaching elsewhere and are only interested in joining our instructor cover team.
We are particularly interested in instructors specialising in:
- Pilates
- Yoga
- Mobility / Stretch
- Strength & Conditioning
- Small Group Fitness
- Pre & Post Natal Exercise
- Menopause-focused exercise
- Functional Fitness
- Older Adult Exercise
- Other complementary health and wellbeing disciplines
There are potential opportunities across mornings, daytime, evenings and weekends, depending on experience and availability.
Our Small Group Personal Training sessions are deliberately capped at 6 people, allowing coaches to provide a much more individual and supportive experience.
Yoga, Pilates and other studio classes can accommodate larger groups depending on the session format.
As an instructor, you will be responsible for delivering safe, engaging, welcoming and professionally coached sessions while adapting where appropriate for different abilities and experience levels.
We want every person walking into the studio — regardless of their starting point — to feel comfortable, supported and that they belong there.
What We’re Looking For
We would love to hear from instructors who are:
- Friendly, approachable and confident working with people
- Passionate about providing a high standard of coaching
- Reliable and professional
- Comfortable working with different ages, abilities and confidence levels
- Able to create an inclusive and supportive environment
- Good communicators who genuinely care about their clients
- Happy working as part of a wider health and wellbeing team
- Interested in becoming part of the studio and community as it grows
Qualifications & Requirements
Applicants should have:
- Relevant qualifications for the sessions they intend to deliver
- Appropriate professional and/or public liability insurance
- Up-to-date knowledge within their area of expertise
- Experience delivering group sessions is desirable
- First Aid qualification is desirable
- Additional specialist qualifications are welcomed
Most importantly, we are looking for good people who genuinely care about the people they coach.
What We Can Offer
This is an opportunity to join a growing independent studio from the beginning.
You will have access to:
- A brand-new private training and wellness facility
- An established local client base through The Better YOU Project
- Regular paid coaching opportunitiesAdditional cover opportunities
- Potential for additional sessions as the timetable grows
- Opportunities to collaborate with other health and wellness professionals
- Promotion of classes through The Better YOU Project
- A supportive, community-focused environment
- The opportunity to become part of the longer-term development of the studio
We are interested in building relationships with instructors for the long term rather than simply filling individual timetable slots.
