Nex Playground brings motion-tracked fitness into the living room with BoxFlow and NexGym. As our Fitness Programming & Community Associate, you'll create workouts parents love and grow into leading our fitness challenges, programs, and community.
You'll start in BoxFlow: given a song, you choreograph a boxing workout synced to the beat, then write and record its voiceover. This role suits a credible trainer or instructor who is building their name in the space and excited to grow with us.
This contract runs through the end of 2026 and is intended to convert to full-time based on fit and impact. You'll grow from creating workouts to owning challenges, programs, and community for our fitness roadmap, with the opportunity to become the on-camera personality for future NexGym workout programs.
Nex is located in San Jose, California, USA and Hong Kong. Learn more about us at https://www.nexplayground.com/about.
