Job description:

Hey there

Welcome, my name is Larissa, I am the Head Coach at Rocycle We are looking for instructors to join the team in our studio in Ghent.

We are starting our recruitment process now and plan to open at the end of October in 2024.

At Rocycle, we get the chance to inspire people, every day, every ride.

Our studios are a place where everyone is welcome, free to be themselves and explore how incredible it is to move the body.

As a Rocycle instructor, you are creating that space for people.

You encourage the room to challenge themselves physically and mentally, in a way that fits what they need from the room.

We lead. We energize. We inspire.

So, what's a week in the life of a Rocycle instructor look like? You're on that bike, setting the rhythm for the room.

We usually teach in 2 class blocks, 3-4 days a week on a fixed schedule.

And we believe it is so important to give you space to unlock your creativity You'll start with our Foundation Framework, curating your playlist and moves.

Expect to spend around 4 hours a week getting your flow just right.

To inspire the room, we are always looking to first inspire ourselves.

Whether it is through incredible conversations with our friends, listening to mindful podcasts or reading, we are on the lookout for that next theme for our rides.

Your qualifications:

We're on the lookout for energetic souls who celebrate their bodies through movement.

If you've got a curious mind, a growth mindset, and believe in the power of self-love, you're exactly who we're looking for.

Experience on the bike is a bonus, but not a deal-breaker. For those who take their work seriously; are on time, work well within a team and are reliable.

What we offer you:

We offer each instructor a training program, it's a 4-week journey to transform you into the incredible instructor we know you can be.

Guiding a room of 60+ humans through a fitness concept is a big responsibility, so we invest this time in sharing with you what you need to know to deliver not only a magical Ro'ride, but a safe one.

Please note the training program is intended to provide you with the tools needed to teach a Rocycle ride, but does not guarantee succesful completion.

The exact dates of the training will be schedule at a later stage. However, this part already clarifies some more aspects about the training.
The pre-training starts
with two introductory online sessions. The first two weeks are full-time, and then the last two weeks are with more space between sessions. It's a mental and physical challenge, but hey, we love growth at Ro

First two weeks

• Full time training weeks, meaning that you will be training 5 weekdays between 13:00 16:00. You will be in the studio for 1,5 hours of each training session and workshopping for the remaining 1,5 hours.
• Online learning modules to learn the craft, at your own pace outside of training sessions. Access to these will be given to you before the training begins.
• Expect that training these weeks will take approximately 30 hours per week
• Please note that we will provide you with more info regarding accommodation during this period at a later stage.

Last two weeks

• 2 x weekday in studio sessions per week from 13:00 16:00, the last session being your Community Ride.
• Our coaches will also be delivering classes during this week for you to continue to learn and refine your skills on the bike.
• Expect that training these weeks will take approx 15 hours per week.

From auditions onwards, you:
- will have a fixed schedule to be discussed with your manager and depending on the needs of the team
- will have availability during the day on weekdays and also on weekends
- are ready to teach a minimum of 6 classes a week.
- don't have holidays planned longer than 1 week from planned studio opening in October.

In and out of the studio, we believe that at Rocycle you should feel free to be you. We prioritize inclusivity, approaching our work with energy and working together.

About us:

Making our community fit and happy, that's what drives us. Because when body and mind are working together as one, there's no stopping you. In movement. In life.

In a dark candlelit studio to high-energy music, we ride out of our heads and into the rhythm. During the workouts by our ace instructors, riders are thrown back to themselves. Into their being, their strength and outside of their boundaries. Moving in sync with the beat and with each other, forges a strong connection. It creates the Ro'family and makes Rocycle a mindful, powerful and fun experience all in one. For both body and soul.

Founded in 2015 in Amsterdam, Rocycle is meant for everyone. From all backgrounds, levels of fitness and for all reasons. Some join us for a party on a bike, others feel it's changing their life.

Whatever riders get out of it, we'll keep making sure its available and accessible at a fair price for all.

We aim to empower by showing our riders
