## Job description

Nex is on a mission to help families rediscover the joy of movement.

## About this Role

Nex Playground brings motion-tracked fitness into the living room with BoxFlow and NexGym. As our Fitness Content Creator & Instructor, 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.

First 90 Days

- Ship BoxFlow workouts end to end: beat-mapped punches plus recorded voiceover.
- Playtest and tune them with the team.
- Design and Pitch your first fitness challenge or program using our available tracking.

## Responsibilities

- Choreograph BoxFlow workouts to music using Jabs, Crosses, Hooks, Slips, Squats, and Blocks, paced for beginner and intermediate players.
- Write and record voiceover scripts that cue combos, coach form, and motivate. Appear on camera as needed.
- Design and lead fitness challenges and programs across BoxFlow and NexGym that help parents get started and stay consistent.
- Engage our fitness community as a coaching voice and bring feedback back to the team.
- Partner with designers and engineers on new workout interactions for the living room.

Required Qualifications

- Group fitness teaching experience and Fitness certification (e.g. NASM, ACE, ACSM).
- Solid boxing fundamentals and a feel for combos that are fun and safe.
- Strong sense of rhythm: you hear a song and know where the punches go.
- Clear, energetic script writing and confident delivery on mic and camera.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Boxing or kickboxing coaching experience.
- Experience creating fitness content for apps, streaming, or social media.
- An existing fitness community or social presence.

Path to Hire

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.

## We Offer

- Competitive compensation package.
- Flexible working hours and vacation policy.
- Product-driven culture that treasures talents and individual growth.
- Front-row seat and hands-on experience with cutting edge technologies in the evolving gaming field
