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.
We are opening a brand-new club—and we’re building the team now. Training begins
in January! This is a unique opportunity to train together, grow together, and
help shape the culture from day one.
You’ll travel to another market for training at an established club—learning the
role, building connections, and bringing that experience back to launch your new
location.
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 STUDIO Team Lead (STL) is
the coach behind the coaches.
This role is a platform for personal and professional growth, where you can
ensure members and guests receive an exceptional experience through classes that
motivate, UPLIFT, and create community. You'll lead by example, developing and
mentoring your team of STUDIO Coaches, ensuring their sessions are safe,
effective, and always aligned with VASA's standards. From scheduling and
staffing to analyzing participation trends, you'll balance business goals with
an unwavering commitment to member experience. Your leadership will help create
an environment where every member feels supported, every coach feels valued, and
every visit feels like progress.
WHO CAN THRIVE IN THIS ROLE
You don't need prior STUDIO or boutique leadership experience to succeed
here--just the right certification and a drive to lead others. If you've led
teams in retail, restaurants, hospitality, sales, or other fast-paced
environments, your leadership experience translates. We'll train and support you
in building a strong coaching team while you bring the energy, organization, and
motivation that fuels our STUDIO community.
