Join Shape Up New York!

Shape Up New York is a free fitness program for all ages. We are currently looking for additional instructors to help out with our programs in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. Volunteer opportunities are available for a variety of classes and activities, including aerobics, yoga and pilates. Volunteers must have some experience as a fitness instructor, and once accepted, will have the opportunity to shadow a current instructor before leading their own classes. This position offers a lot of flexibility and creativity for enthusiastic volunteers interested in giving back to their communities and addressing pressing health issues such as diabetes and obesity.

Volunteers are currently needed at the following Recreation Centers. Please use the links provided to sign up for your preferred location:
