Studio Manager - Boutique Fitness

Our client runs the world's fastest growing boutique fitness brand. 100+ studios. 14 countries. Pilates Inspired. Cardio Infused. It's a full-body workout that fuses Pilates, cardio and strength into one 45-minute session: Row. Ride. Reform.

Opening in Fall 2026, they are bringing the world's only cardio-integrated reformer format to one of South Calagary’s established and accessible communities. Surrounded by local amenities and serving a wellness-focused clientele, our Studio aims to offer welcoming environment dedicated to movement, connection and exceptional client experience.

This is a role in two phases. Before we open, you are a builder — driving the founding member pre-sale campaign, securing corporate wellness partnerships with local businesses and establishing the brand and studio before a single class is taught. Working closely with the Studio owner and the Franchisor. Once open, you are the operator and instructor — leading a high-performing studio team, owning membership retention, delivering the brand experience every day and teaching few classes per week. We want someone who is energised by all of it.
