Ready to bring the energy? hiit republic, part of Viva Leisure - one of Australia's leading fitness companies - is looking for passionate Coaches to join our studios in the ACT and surrounds.
Founded in 2004, Viva Leisure has grown into the largest independent health club operator in Australia, and was the first fitness facility operator to list on the Australian Securities Exchange. We're proud of that journey, and we're just getting started.
We currently have studios in:
Canberra City/Braddon/Kingston/Gungahlin/Mitchell/Tuggeranong/Wanniassa (Erindale)/Woden/Weston/Belconnen (CISAC)/Queanbean/Goulburn - join one or many, the choice is yours!
As a hiit republic Coach, you'll report to the Studio Manager and lead classes that are fun, challenging and motivating, in an environment where everyone belongs. We've redefined group training through a fusion of HIIT, strength and conditioning principles - helping every member unleash their inner athlete, no matter where they're starting from.
This is your chance to deliver high-energy, high-impact classes that people genuinely look forward to. We're all about positive member experiences built on growth, connection and passion — and as a coach, you'll play a key role in building that energy in the room and growing our class numbers along the way.
If you love motivating people, thrive in a fast-paced group setting, and want to be part of a brand that's shaking up group fitness, we'd love to hear from you.
