Group Fitness Manager

At VASA Fitness, we're more than a gym--we're a community built on unity, passion, love, integrity, fun, and trust. We create UPLIFTing experiences for everyone through inclusive, accessible, and on-trend fitness. VASA is a place where lives are changed through authentic connections, growth, and support--for both members and team members.

HOW YOU WILL CHANGE LIVES

Within our clubs, you'll find VASA's in-house boutique STUDIO experience -- premium small-group spaces offering high-intensity interval training, infrared yoga, and strength training. These spaces deliver results-driven workouts led by expert coaches who motivate, connect, and inspire.

The Team Lead for Group Fitness & our STUDIO program are the champions of member experience. You'll oversee class programming, talent development, and member engagement to ensure every class is high-energy, effective, and inclusive.

From building and maintaining competitive class schedules--including bootcamp, strength & conditioning, cardio, and yoga--to recruiting and coaching instructors, you'll make sure every detail supports both member satisfaction and business performance. By analyzing class counts and trends, you'll adapt programming to maximize attendance and ensure our offerings stay fresh, on-trend, and accessible. Your leadership creates an environment where members feel energized, instructors feel supported, and everyone feels connected.

WHO CAN THRIVE IN THIS ROLE

You don't need prior fitness leadership experience to succeed here--just the right certifications and a passion for leading people. If you've managed teams in retail, restaurants, hospitality, sales, customer service, or other professional settings, your leadership experience translates. We'll train and support you in building a strong fitness team while you bring energy, organization, and motivation to the role.
