Group Fitness Instructor sculpt, barre, pilates, flex and yoga instructors

Stone Mat Studios is bringing a new style of strength and motion to Kettlestone Lakes in Waukee, and we’re building our Founding Instructor Team.

We’re looking for instructors who want more than a spot on a schedule — we want professionals who are excited to be part of a team responsible for shaping the culture and class experience of a brand-new studio from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity to be a foundational team member of a studio designed to help people feel stronger, move better, and truly belong.

Stone Mat Studios is built on the belief that movement should be as enduring as the people who practice it. We focus on building a solid foundation—the essential alignment, strength, and mental discipline required to move with purpose at every stage of life.

Our signature formats—Sculpt, Barre, Mat Pilates, Intense Flex and Mobility—are designed to build a strength, balance, endurance and flexibility in a high-functioning body that supports you for the long term.

Our methodology is rooted in Christian values. We lead with integrity, kindness, and a commitment to excellence, creating a stable, high-performance environment where everyone — regardless of their starting point — feels at home on their mat.

Inside our infrared-heated studios, we prioritize intentional work on the mat, supporting both physical resilience and restorative recovery.

We are building a diverse schedule and welcome instructors experienced in:

• Sculpt / strength-based formats
• Yoga
• Pilates or mat-based strength
• Mobility & flexibility training
• Barre
• Tai Chi or mindful movement

If you specialize in a modality that supports strength, restoration, or purposeful movement, we’d love to hear from you.
