Fitness Instructor - Assisted Stretch Practitioner
About The Position
The Vital Stretch is opening its first southeastern Wisconsin location at River Centre in Mequon this fall. We help people move better, recover faster, and live with less pain through one-on-one assisted stretching using a proprietary method designed by a Physical Therapist and a Chiropractic Physician. This is a hands-on, 1:1 assisted stretching role. If you're a certified personal trainer, LMT, athletic trainer, or exercise science professional looking to specialize in movement and recovery work, we want to talk to you. Our work is consultative, education-based, and built around a personalized care plan for each member. We serve active adults, weekend athletes, desk workers with chronic tightness, and people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who want to keep doing what they love. This is an owner-led, small-team studio with real growth opportunity as the business scales.
