Welcome, my name is Larissa, I am the Head Coach at Rocycle! We are looking for instructors to join the team in our studio in Rotterdam. Super excited to have you considering the ride of a lifetime with us.
At Rocycle, we get the chance to inspire people, every day, every ride. Our studios are a place where everyone is welcome, free to be themselves and explore how incredible it is to move their body. As a Rocycle instructor, you are creating that space for people. You encourage the room to challenge themselves physically and mentally, in a way that fits what they need from the room. We lead. We energize. We inspire.
So, what's a week in the life of a Rocycle instructor look like? You’re on that bike, setting the rhythm for the room. We usually teach in 2 class blocks, 3-4 days a week on a fixed schedule. And we believe it is so important to give you space to unlock your creativity! You'll start with our Foundation Framework, curating your playlist and moves. Expect to spend around 4 hours a week getting your flow just right.
To inspire the room, we are always looking to first inspire ourselves. Whether it is through incredible conversations with our friends, listening to mindful podcasts or reading, we are on the lookout for that next theme for our rides.
Your qualifications
First and foremost, we are looking to see you on that bike. With energy and love for celebrating your body through movement.
We look for minds that are curious, open-minded and with a growth mindset.
For humans who believe that self-love is the road to finding real joy in life and that the narrative of “summer bodies” should be left in the 90’s. We often attract those with a performance or sports background, but experience is not essential.
For those who take their work seriously; are on time, work well within a team and are reliable.
What we offer you
We offer each instructor a training program, our 4 week training program is designed to give you the space to begin growing into the incredible rhythm cycling instructor we see in you. Guiding a room of 60+ humans through a fitness concept is a big responsibility, so we invest this time in sharing with you what you need to know to deliver not only a magical Ro’ride, but a safe one.
The training program runs as follows:
The first two weeks:
Are full time training weeks, meaning that you will be training 4 - 5 weekdays between 13:00 - 16:00. You will be in the studio for 1,5 hours of each training session and workshopping for the remaining 1,5 hours.
Online learning modules to learn the craft, at your own pace from home. Access to these will be given to you before the training begins.
Expect that training these weeks will take approximately 30 hours per week
The second two weeks:
2 x weekday in studio sessions per week from 13:00 - 16:00, the last session being your Community Ride.
We ask that you participate in 4 rides per week so that you can learn from the existing instructing team and see how they put your learnings into practice.
Expect that training these weeks will take approx 15 hours per week.
If the first two weeks of full time training cannot work for your life schedule, please still feel free to apply. We work with two training programs, if a 7 week training program comes up in your area, we will be sure to reach out. Please just make sure to note in your application that you are applying for a future 7 week training group.
The training will challenge you, mentally and physically. It is a catalyst for growth, and at Ro we love growth! Not all moments will be easy, but every moment is definitely worth it.
The training program is intended to provide you with the tools needed to teach a Rocycle ride, but does not guarantee employment.
We also offer ongoing innovation, support and training as you continue your journey as a Rocycle Instructor.
From the moment of auditions, you must be a resident of the city for which you are applying for.
You have a flexible schedule. We are looking for availability during the day, and also on weekends (as an instructor, not just during training).
You can teach a minimum of 6 classes per week (an example: Tuesday 09:00+10:00, Friday 17:00+18:00, Sunday 11:00+12:00)
You don't have holidays planned longer than 1 week for the upcoming 4 months from training start
Benefits
In and out of our studios, we believe that at Rocycle you should feel free to be you. We prioritize inclusivity, approaching our work with energy and working together.
Thank you for your interest in joining our team, we hope to see your application coming through soon.
Making our community fit and happy, that’s what drives us. Because when body and mind are working together as one, there’s no stopping you. In movement. In life.
In a dark candlelit studio to high-energy music, we ride out of our heads and into the rhythm. During the workouts by our ace instructors, riders are thrown back to themselves. Into their being, their strength and outside of their boundaries. Moving in sync with the beat and with each other, forges a strong connection. It creates the Ro'family and makes Rocycle a mindful, powerful and fun experience all in one. For both body and soul.
Founded in 2015 in Amsterdam, Rocycle is meant for everyone. From all backgrounds, levels of fitness and for all reasons. Some join us for a party on a bike, others feel it’s changing their life.
Whatever riders get out of it, we’ll keep making sure its available and accessible at a fair price for all.We aim to empower by showing our riders what they are capable of. Turning the flame we all have inside us up into a blazing fire. Every day. Every ride.
