If you’re already nationally certified & have experience teaching…
Download and submit an application to Group Fitness Program Coordinator, Kathleen Terracina. You need a general group fitness certification to teach most classes (AFAA, ACE, NASM, etc), and a specialty certification to teach Yoga, Pilates, Indoor Cycle, or Zumba. Once you have submitted an application, an interview and audition will be scheduled.
If you’re not certified and/or have no experience…

Group Exercise Policies
Please note our group fitness policies:
- Participants will not be admitted to classes after warm-up has begun.
- Appropriate workout attire is required at all times, including proper athletic shoes.
- In step classes, risers should not be stacked more than 2 high.
- Participants are encouraged to regularly monitor their own workout intensity and take water breaks frequently.
- The instructor reserves the right to ask a participant to leave should these policies not be followed.
- In order to ensure the safety of participants, class size may be limited at the discretion of the instructor.
Spin Class Policies
To make your experience in spin class more enjoyable, please abide by these simple policies:
Always Sign Up
Sign-up sheets are available at the RHRC front desk. Participants must sign-up in person no more than one day prior to the class [registration by phone is not permitted].
Be on Time
Registered class participants must check in with the instructor 5 minutes prior to the start of the class. If you're not present 5 minutes prior to the start of the class, you will be considered a "no show," and your spot will be given to someone on the wait-list.
Clean Your Bike for the Next Participant
All participants are expected to clean their bike at the conclusion of the spin class.
Don't Forget Your Necessities
Every participant must bring a water bottle and towel to spin class.
Thank you for abiding by these policies.
