1 person is interested
The Phoenix is looking for volunteer certified or experienced group fitness instructors to lead community-based fitness events for our sober active community. Group Fitness at The Phoenix includes a wide range of disciplines that share the intention of overall physical well-being in a shared community setting. These include, but are not limited to, Boxing, HIIT, CrossFit, Olympic lifting, and many others. All our group fitness events are led by an instructor and are held in a group setting.
If you have a background in instructing group fitness classes, have experience in recovery, live a sober lifestyle, have a strong passion and commitment to social justice and mental health, and want to help your community, we want to hear from you!
As a Volunteer Group Fitness Instructor, you:
- Are certified in your discipline or have experience in teaching group fitness. Depending on the class, a certification may be required. This will be discussed later in a welcome call
- Lead 1 class every week/month, for 1-2 hours max. This depends on community needs and your availability
- Commit to long term volunteering, ideally 6+ months if possible
- Complete a 2-hour online training. This can be completed at your own pace (i.e. can be stopped and restarted)
- Do a background check. Recognizing that we come from different experiences, a record doesn’t automatically disqualify you from volunteering
- Are at least 18 years old
- Help spread the word and bring a friend or 2 to help drive attendance

Mission Statement
The Phoenix offers a free sober active community to individuals who have suffered from a substance use disorder and to those who choose a sober life. Using a peer support model, we help members heal and rebuild their lives while also striving to eliminate stigma around recovery.
Description
The ultimate impact Phoenix seeks is to help individuals not only achieve sobriety, but to thrive in recovery. The Phoenix Model is unique because of its non-clinical approach that uses the power of human connection and positive coping mechanisms through physical activity to help people heal from the underlying causes of addiction.
Phoenix peer instructors use an experiential approach that leverages innate goal-setting association with engagement in physical activities while facilitating a positive and supportive experience, allowing team members to shed the defense mechanisms that have historically kept them isolated. By bringing people together, Phoenix creates a community where people can heal, obtain essential life skills, and practice effective social interaction. Research suggests facilitating physical activity, social connection and community are potent strategies for promoting health and healing from disease.
