AQUA FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Live 2 B Healthy – Senior Fitness | Indianapolis, IN
Job Title Aqua Fitness Instructor
Location Indianapolis and surrounding areas (on-site at senior living communities and community
centers with pools)
Reports To Franchise Owner / Fitness Program Manager
Company Live 2 B Healthy – Indianapolis
Employment Type Independent Contractor (1099)

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS
At Live 2 B Healthy – Indianapolis, we believe that growing older should never mean giving up
strength, confidence, or independence. The water is one of the most powerful tools we have: its
buoyancy supports the joints, eases pain, and gives older adults the freedom to move in ways
that can feel difficult on land. Every class you lead helps a senior move more freely, build
strength, and stay connected to the people and activities they love.

OUR MISSION
To deliver exceptional senior fitness and aquatic exercise programming that improves the
health, confidence, and independence of older adults in our community — while building a
supportive workplace where our instructors are developed, valued, and empowered to
achieve their own goals.

POSITION SUMMARY
Aqua Fitness Instructors bring the Live 2 B Healthy program to the water, delivering safe,
effective, and engaging group aquatic fitness classes for older adults in senior living
communities and community centers with pools. Instructors also provide individualized attention
through private one-on-one and small group water-based sessions. This role requires a passion
for helping seniors stay active, with a strong commitment to program quality, safety, and
participant progress.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Lead Group Aqua Fitness Classes. Conduct scheduled on-site water fitness classes
tailored to the needs and abilities of older adults, using the buoyancy and gentle resistance
of water to support low-impact cardiovascular conditioning, strength, flexibility, and range of
motion.
• Private & Small Group Aquatic Training. Deliver personalized one-on-one and small
group water-based sessions with residents based on their individual goals and abilities,
following approved programming and documentation protocols.
• Ensure Safety In and Around the Pool. Monitor participants closely to ensure exercises
are performed safely and effectively in the water. Maintain awareness of pool conditions,
safe entry and exit, and emergency procedures, and modify activities as needed to support
all fitness and comfort levels.
• Build Positive Relationships. Create a motivating, respectful, and inclusive environment.
Establish trust and rapport with residents, staff, and community decision-makers.
• Follow Program Guidelines. Adhere to all Live 2 B Healthy protocols and curriculum
standards, as well as facility pool rules, for all formats of training (group, small group, and
private).
• Communication & Reporting. Accurately report attendance, session feedback, and client
notes to the Fitness Program Manager. Communicate class concerns, pool issues, or
scheduling changes in a timely manner.

QUALIFICATIONS
• Experience in senior fitness, aqua fitness, group fitness, or rehab-based exercise
• Current nationally recognized fitness certification (REQUIRED: NASM, ACE, ACSM, AFAA, or equivalent)
• Current CPR/AED certification (REQUIRED)
• Comfortable leading exercise in and around the water, with a working awareness of pool
safety and emergency procedures
• Strong interpersonal skills and an encouraging, client-centered approach
• Reliable transportation and punctuality for scheduled sessions

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Aquatic fitness certification (e.g., AEA Aquatic Fitness Professional) or an equivalent water based exercise credential
• Previous experience teaching aqua aerobics, water-based exercise, or aquatic therapy
• Background in working with seniors or within senior living communities
• Understanding of age-related conditions and how to safely modify exercises for the water

THE INSTRUCTOR WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Certifications and experience matter — and so does character. Beyond the qualifications above,
we are looking for someone whose values match the way we want to serve our community. You
may be a great fit if you:
• Feel genuine joy when a participant accomplishes something they didn’t think they could
• Bring patience, warmth, and authentic respect to every interaction with older adults
• Bring energy and encouragement that make the pool a welcoming, motivating place to be
• Are dependable and professional — people can count on you to arrive prepared, positive,
and on time
• Communicate openly and honestly, and naturally build trust with residents, families, and
community staff
• See coaching and feedback as opportunities to grow, and take pride in continually improving
your craft
• Want to be part of something bigger than a single class — a mission to change how our
community ages

OUR CULTURE & VALUES
We believe the quality of our program flows directly from the well-being of our team. We are
committed to building a workplace where instructors feel supported, invested in, and proud of
the work they do. Our culture is grounded in:
• Purpose-Driven Service. Everything we do is in service of the health, confidence, and
independence of the seniors we work with.
• Integrity & Reliability. We do what we say, we show up for our participants and one
another, and we hold ourselves to a high standard.
• Continuous Improvement. We invest in learning, coaching, and growth so that our
instructors — and our program — keep getting better.
• Authentic Connection. We lead with empathy and build genuine relationships with our
participants, their families, and our community partners.
• A Supportive Team. Our owners come from careers built on developing people, and we
bring that same commitment to clarity, compassion, and support to our own team.

WHY JOIN OUR TEAM
• Work that truly matters. You will see the impact of your work in every session — in
stronger bodies, brighter spirits, and renewed independence.
• Room to grow. As we expand across the Indianapolis market, there is real opportunity to
take on more sessions and grow into greater responsibility over time.
• A flexible, contract-based schedule. Build a schedule that fits your life while doing work
you can be proud of.
• A community to be proud of. We are creating spaces where seniors stay active,
connected, and supported — and where great instructors love to work.

COMPENSATION
$30-$40 per hour. Additional compensation for private and
small group sessions.
