  • Experience: Fitness teaching experience is preferred. Backgrounds in client relations or social media management are a major plus.

  • Passion: A genuine love for the fitness industry and an interest in Pilates.

  • Ambition: A desire to master fitness software, analytics, and financial acumen to prepare for a future General Manager role.

  • Flexibility: Ability to work on-site across the DMV area and maintain a non-traditional schedule (including early mornings, late evenings, and weekends) to meet community needs.

Compensation & Benefits

We believe in rewarding our leaders for their impact. This position offers a competitive salary plus performance-based incentives.
