What We Offer

~1 min read

As Studio Leader, you own the results of your studio: membership growth, team performance, operational compliance, and the member experience. You'll lead a team of coaches and sales associates, partner weekly with the Chief Operating Officer, and turn company goals into a clear plan your whole team can rally behind.

Our client calls this role Studio Leader; at most boutique studios it's the Studio Manager or General Manager. It's a hands-on leadership role, so you'll spend your time on the studio floor and in the lobby, not behind a desk. Assistant Studio Managers ready for their first studio of their own are encouraged to apply.
