Program Overview

The SHINE FIT Energy Exchange Program is an exclusive opportunity for any individuals with a passion for SHINE FIT and desire to contribute to our studio community.

​

Energy Exchange Details

Imagine receiving high-energy fitness classes in exchange for helping out with studio operations at one of Toronto's most empowering and fastest growing fitness studios! As a part of the SHINE FIT Energy Exchange Team, you'll enjoy complimentary classes in exchange for volunteer work. You’ll be interacting with members, answering booking inquiries, assisting instructors with opening/closing the studio, filming class clips, posting Instagram stories, and drafting engaging content for TikTok and Reels. This is not just an opportunity to start your fitness journey, but also a fantastic way to gain practical experience in leadership and social media marketing, all while being immersed in the vibrant SHINE FIT community.

 

General Guidelines

1 hour of work = 1 class credit

1 shift of work/week, with complimentary class on shift 

 

Minimum Commitment

We are looking for Energy Exchange team members, who are committed to at least 2 hours of volunteering each week (which equals 2 class credits/week). Ideally, you are interested in 3 hours.

 

Maximum Commitment

Due to the nature of SHINE FIT classes, we do not recommend completing more than 5 classes/week. As such, the maximum number of volunteer hours in a week would be 5 hours.

​

You may carry forward/backward volunteer hours from week to week, as long as you are hitting your minimum commitment for the month. If you complete extra hours, just inform your manager and they will add additional class credits to your account accordingly.

 

Shift Allocation

Minimum shift length is 2 hours, although we recommend 3 hours so you can work for 2 and workout on the 3rd. This allows you to get into a focused work state. Depending on the # of classes you’d like to personally attend each week, you can create a shift structure. Please discuss this with your hiring manager. 

 

For example:

2 classes 

• do one 2 hour volunteer shift + complete class before/after shift in studio. Attend class on 1 additional day.  

 

3 classes 

• do one 3 hour volunteer shift + complete class before/after shift in studio. Attend class on 2 additional days

• Do two 1.5 hour volunteer shifts + complete class before/after shift in studio. Attend class on 1 additional days

• Do one 3 hour volunteer shift. Attend classes separately. 

 

4 or 5 Classes

• Extrapolate from 3 class examples

 

Candidates should commit to one regular day/time for energy exchange shift, but can reschedule/trade if something unexpected comes up one week. Shifts must be arranged around studio class times.
