Studio Team Lead

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 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.
