### About NinjaFit ATL

NinjaFit ATL is a ninja warrior and obstacle-course training gym located in Dallas, GA, built for kids, teens, and adults who want to move, climb, jump, and compete like the athletes they see on TV. Our programs include weekly ninja classes, our Homeschool Ninja Program, birthday parties, holiday and summer camps, and open gym/membership access. We're a growing, family-run business focused on building a fun, safe, and genuinely skill-building community — not just a gym, but a home base for kids to build confidence and strength.

We're looking for a Head Coach to lead our coaching team and day-to-day gym operations as we grow.

### The Role

The Head Coach is both our lead trainer and our facility's on-the-ground operator. You'll design and run curriculum for all skill levels, coach classes yourself, hire and mentor our coaching staff, and make sure every class, camp, and party runs safely and smoothly. This is the most important hire we'll make as we scale — someone who can eventually run the floor with minimal oversight and help grow our programs (team/competitive track, camps, homeschool offerings) as membership grows.

### What You'll Do

**Coaching & Curriculum**
- Plan and lead ninja warrior classes across age groups and skill levels (ages ~4 through adult)
- Design class stations, obstacle rotations, and progressions that build real skill safely
- Coach our Homeschool Ninja Program sessions
- Support and help lead birthday parties and camp programming
- Identify and develop athletes interested in competitive/elite team training

**Team Leadership**
- Recruit, hire, train, and schedule assistant coaches
- Run staff training on curriculum, spotting techniques, and safety protocols
- Provide ongoing coaching and feedback to help coaches grow
- Set the tone for a positive, energetic, safety-first coaching culture

**Facility & Safety**
- Oversee daily gym operations, equipment checks, and obstacle rigging/maintenance
- Enforce and continuously improve safety protocols and waivers
- Manage class scheduling and staffing coverage
- Keep the facility clean, organized, and ready for members, campers, and parties

**Growth & Operations**
- Help set goals for class capacity, retention, and program growth
- Provide input on new programs (competitive team, adult classes, specialty camps)
- Communicate with parents/members on athlete progress and gym updates
- Work directly with ownership on the business's operational priorities

### What We're Looking For

- Background in ninja warrior, obstacle training, gymnastics, parkour, cheer/tumbling, or a related sport — hands-on coaching experience required
- Prior experience as a head coach, lead instructor, or program director (managing other coaches) strongly preferred
- Comfortable teaching all ages, from a nervous 5-year-old to a homeschool teen chasing a competitive track
- Strong communicator with kids, parents, and staff
- A confident, calm leader who can make decisions on the floor and take ownership of the gym day-to-day
- Highly organized — comfortable with class scheduling, curriculum planning, and basic operational tasks
- Passion for building a positive, safe, and encouraging training environment
- CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain before start date)

### Nice to Have

- Experience running or helping run a ninja gym, gymnastics facility, or similar youth sports program
- Competitive ninja/obstacle racing background
- Experience with membership software, class scheduling tools, or point-of-sale systems

### What We Offer

- Competitive salary based on experience
- The opportunity to build a program from the ground up and grow into a long-term leadership role as the gym scales
- A supportive, family-owned business where your input directly shapes how the gym runs
- A fun, high-energy work environment doing something you (hopefully) already love
