Les Mills Instructor
About the role
Lead the Beat Bring the energy as a part-time Les Mills Instructor at the Lampeter-Strasburg YMCA (800 Village Road, Lancaster, PA). This role exists to deliver a safe, high-impact group fitness experience that builds strength, cardio capacity, and confidence—every single class. You arrive a little early, music and lights setting the tone, and the room starts to buzz as familiar faces filter in. Quick hellos turn into a surge of anticipation—this hour is their reset. After class, there’s that satisfying cool-down hush, a few high-fives, and short chats about next week’s goals. You wrap up, tidy the space, and head out knowing you helped launch someone’s week with real momentum.
