    “The most exciting acting tends to happen in roles you never thought you could play.” – John Lithgow

    So, maybe you don’t see yourself as a “9-5” type (unless we’re talking about the musical). If we’re being honest, neither do we! We are My Gym Children’s Fitness Center – the ultimate children’s fitness and developmental activity center – and we get to work and play all day… in a T-shirt and socks!!

    Do you love kids, being generally silly, and acting for very receptive and adorable audiences? Then My Gym might be the right place for you!

    Are you…

    The life of the party?

    Frequently found at the kids table (which is the best place to be anyway)?

    A dancer, actor, singer, or athlete?

    Outgoing, upbeat, and positive?

    Someone who takes direction well?

    Interested in a flexible weekday schedule that will allow your job to work into your life?

    Available to work weekends? (We throw wonderful, memorable birthday parties year-round.)

    Willing to really grow with us (and the kids!) and can commit to at least a year of employment?
