Step 1: WHY US?

WE BELIEVE IN LIVING IN OUR STRENGTHS. Every team member brings special skills, passions and interests, job descriptions are individualized to bring out your best allowing you a fulfilling and authentic role.

WE BELIEVE IN TEAM CULTURE. If you're looking to make life-long friendships with a "work family" we'll totally adopt you into ours. Be prepared to blur the lines between work and life, because you're a whole person - why split yourself? Don't be surprised if you're asked to help a team member move because you're the one with a pickup truck; but we'll watch your pet turtle when you're away. You will probably be asked to bring your famous cookies to Thanksgiving but if you're a lousy cook, chips & salsa will do.

WE BELIEVE IN FUN. Does this really need an explanation? If you don't believe silliness, laughter and a healthy appreciation of sarcasm should be an Olympic sport, then move along.

WE BELIEVE IN YOUR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Every team member comes with different goals and join our team at a different stage in their life. Are you in high school looking for your first job until you leave for college? Are you re-entering the job scene as an empty nester? Are you a recent college grad looking to start your career with goals of owning your own The Little Gym? Do you want to grow in leadership, flex your marketing muscle, hone your business skills, plan fun events, discover yourself? You will be supported, mentored and challenged and provided with opportunity for meaningful growth during your time with The Little Gym.

WE BELIEVE THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE FABULOUS. Every child has a super power and should be celebrated for what makes them the individual they are. Our purpose is to help families raise confident, strong citizens of the world through our gymnastics, sports, dance and recreation programs.

WE BELIEVE THAT DINOSAURS ARE COOL. And knock knock jokes never get old, flossing is a dance move, Spirit Week was the best thing about middle school, watching a baby take their first steps will bring tears to your eyes along with watching a shy pre-teen make a friend in our program.

STILL WITH ME? If you haven't been scared off yet, please continue.
