Posted by Staffing Fitness LLC on behalf of our client

The Opportunity

This isn't just a job — it's a ground-floor opportunity to launch a brand-new boutique fitness studio in Burlington, MA and grow into the leader who runs it.

Our client operates a high-energy group fitness concept with classes starting every 10 minutes. A new studio is opening in Burlington, and we need a driven, community-minded sales leader to build the membership base from scratch — signing up 440+ founding members before doors open — and then step into the Studio Manager role to lead the team and operations long-term.

If you love fitness, thrive on hustle, and want a clear career path, this is your moment.

Phase 1: Pre-Sale Manager (Immediate Start)

• Follow up with every lead within 2–3 hours — speed wins
• Engage daily on social media to build community excitement and brand awareness
• Track all leads, outreach, and conversions in the CRM with precision
• Create grassroots energy that makes the studio launch a local event

Phase 2: Studio Manager (Post-Launch Career Path)

Once the studio opens and you've proven your leadership in the pre-sale phase, you'll transition into the Studio Manager role — the heartbeat of the studio.
