About The Position

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. We are opening a brand-new club—and we’re building the team now. Training begins in October! This is a unique opportunity to train together, grow together, and help shape the culture from day one.

You'll oversee the Group Fitness program in your club, managing class schedules, developing instructors, and ensuring programming is high-energy, safe, and inclusive for all fitness levels. This role is a platform for personal and professional growth, where you'll help members and guests receive an exceptional experience through classes that are fun, effective, and community-driven. You'll collaborate with other team leads and your General Manager to grow class attendance, maximize group fitness usage, and ensure every VASA class reflects our high standards of quality and care.
