JOINING RINKA

A word from the CEO

Sarah Gillespie

Sarah Gillespie CEO RINKA Ireland
Hi,

I am delighted you are interested in finding out more! A career as a RINKA instructor is simply one of the most rewarding directions you could take, and I really believe that working with children is a blessing. With childhood obesity at an all-time high, the need for children’s fitness has never been greater, Our instructors are experiencing outstanding success because they are giving parents what they want most – healthy, happy children!

I think what I probably love most about working with children is the fact that no two days are the same, no two classes are the same and, the truth is, no two kids are the same! I love getting to know each child that comes through my door and recognising the little person inside. I love the stories they tell me at the start of class, the ins and outs of what they did that day. I love the silly things they say and the simple, straight-forward outlook they have on life. And to top it all off I get to inspire them to love fitness, activity and health. It’s the dream job!
