Need for yoga, pool, and cardio instructors signals next growth wave at Northern Physical Therapy

Northern Physical Therapy is in growth mode again, responding to increased demand for health and wellness classes at each of its five locations. Company co-owner Gina Otterbein says the company made a decision a couple of years ago to offer clients ways to stay healthy, in addition to the traditional physical therapies that aid recovery from injuries, pain, and surgeries.

“Our goal is to help create healthier lifestyles by enabling clients to have some variety in their exercises or to begin an exercise program,” Otterbein says. “(The classes) are fun because you’re working out with someone else and they’re fun because others are challenging you or pushing you to do more.”

Northern Physical Therapy has offices in Cedar Springs, Coopersville, Grant, Sparta, and Wayland. While the Wayland, Coopersville, and Cedar Springs locations offer some type of health and fitness classes, Otterbein says the company needs at least three more instructors to extend the offerings to the Grant office.

Immediate part-time openings include one each for a certified yoga instructor (any style), an experienced pool exercise instructor certified in water safety, and a cardio instructor with experience in Circuit and Zumba classes.

The Grant location features a 25-ft.-by-25-ft. therapeutic pool with a 94-degree Fahrenheit water temperature and 15-person capacity. There is also a dedicated workout/yoga studio with wood floors and mirrors.

“We’re looking for people that are high energy and driven with a passion for fitness and health,” says Otterbein. “You have to want to do this because that passion inspires others.”
