Company Overview:
BODYBAR Pilates North County is a locally owned Pilates group operating multiple studios in North County San Diego, including La Costa and Vista. Our Vista studio opened March 2, 2026, and we currently run 130+ classes per week across our locations.
While we operate within the nationally recognized BODYBAR brand, our studios are hands-on, detail-oriented, and instructor-driven, with a strong focus on high-quality instruction, consistency, and team accountability.
At BODYBAR, instructors are expected to:
Be reliable, prepared, and professional
Take initiative and manage their responsibilities
Communicate clearly and respectfully with team members and leadership
Work collaboratively as part of a team
Be open to feedback, coaching, and continued growth
Deliver technically sound, well-run classes every time
Feedback is part of the culture here... not as criticism, but as a tool for consistency and growth. As a founding instructor, you will help shape the studio’s reputation, member experience, and long-term success from day one.

We are actively hiring instructors across our North County studios as our schedule continues to grow. With 130+ classes per week, this offers real schedules, consistency, and strong earning potential.
We are looking for instructors with flexible availability, including early mornings, mid-mornings, evenings, weekends, and subbing coverage as needed.
Training takes place at BODYBAR La Costa, with teaching opportunities available at both La Costa and Vista locations.
We offer multiple scholarship options for instructors with prior Pilates or group fitness experience.
