ONE PLAYGROUND PHILOSOPHY: “GREAT HUMANS”
We are driven by our core values including “One Team” of “Great Humans” who “Master their Craft” and of course “Do Cool Sh*t!”. We believe that if we take care of our people, they will take care of our members.
People have been the key differentiator to One Playground's success. Today, we have a team of almost 500 Great Humans, a Senior Leadership team with an average tenure of 8 years, and being consistently recognised as one of Australia's best places to work.
Our human centric awards include being rated Top 50 Places to Work in Australia, Employer of Choice Award, AFR Best Places to Work and the ABA100® Winner for Training Excellence.
The brand has been named as the best multi modality gym in Australia and the best boutique gym brand in APAC, while being mentioned along the likes of Six Senses hotels and Equinox.
BRAND AMBITION
At One Playground, we are committed to creating the best gyms, not just the most gyms. The spaces are unique, we invest in curated designs, with luxury finishes and experiential moments.
Our ambition is to create more than a gym. But rather to create an ecosystem of premium lifestyle brands that Inspire Change for our members and our staff.
We do this through changing the gym environment and experience through beautifully curated spaces, quality coaching, experiential classes, premium wellness and community connection.
And as we look to the future, we will do this beyond the gym with the One Coach and Destination One (retreat) brands.
THE ROLE
As our Group Training Coordinator, you'll be the engine room behind one of the most celebrated class offerings in Australian fitness - making sure every instructor is supported, every resource is sharp, and every class on the timetable delivers.
Working side by side with our Head of Group Training and the wider team, you'll support the whole department, across multiple modalities within your wheelhouse. You'll help bring new instructors on board, mentor and develop our existing team, build the manuals and education that set our standard, and keep our schedule running like clockwork.
This is a hands-on role with real variety: one day you're curating playlists and building a new instructor handbook, the next you're running a mentoring session, coordinating auditions or digging into class performance to work out what our members need next.
But this role is bigger than coordination. Every instructor you mentor and every resource you create shapes the experience thousands of members have in our studios every week.
You'll be protecting the standards that make One Playground classes unlike anything else - and helping raise them.
If you love group training, get a buzz from seeing instructors grow, and want to help build the most inspiring instructor team in the industry, this is your next move.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Product - Shape Classes Members Can't Get Anywhere Else.
Bring our training concepts to life through the handbooks, class plans and programming resources every instructor relies on.
Build the education and learning pathways that turn great instructors into exceptional ones.
Craft the soundtrack to the class experience - playlists that build energy, match every phase and leave members wanting more.
Keep our Group Training manuals the gold standard across every modality.
Have a hand in the next big thing, helping create new formats and products from the ground up.
People - Build the Most Inspiring Instructor Team in the Industry.
Help find our next wave of instructor talent and give every candidate an audition experience worth remembering.
Make sure every new instructor lands well, feels welcome and knows exactly what great looks like at One Playground.
Be the mentor instructors turn to, helping them grow their craft through coaching, feedback and development.
Bring the team together through workshops and education that lift the standard across every studio.

Performance - Make Every Class Count.
Be the reason every class on the timetable runs - the right instructor, in the right studio, every time.
Turn class data and member feedback into insights that make our classes better, month after month.
Help every instructor keep growing through evaluations and check-ins that actually move the needle.
Shine a light on our superstars, celebrating standout performances through our monthly instructor newsletter and recognition initiatives.
