Join the founding instructor team at Hiptwist Fitness.
Hiptwist Fitness is a modern Pilates and wellness studio opening in San Mateo. We're building a studio rooted in intelligent strength, thoughtful programming, and long-term sustainability — for both our clients and our instructors.
Hiptwist Fitness isn't about trends, burnout, or packed rooms.
We believe:
Strength should be built with control
Power should be intelligent, not chaotic
Recovery is part of training — not an afterthought
Great instructors deserve structure, respect, and consistency
Our programming blends Tower Reformer, mat Pilates, strength, and recovery with a focus on longevity, performance, and nervous-system health.
We're excited to connect with instructors who are:
Recognized certifications in Pilates, yoga, or strength training
Detail-oriented and coach-driven with a focus on quality
Comfortable teaching mixed-level rooms with clarity
Interested in growing within a studio — not just picking up shifts
Drawn to a calm, professional, longevity-focused environment
Real-world teaching experience with a thoughtful coaching approach
You don't need to teach everything on day one — we care more about how you teach than how many formats you list.

Reliable teaching times that respect your work-life balance
Especially for our signature formats — you won't be thrown in unprepared

Expectations and feedback you can rely on
