Head Coach - Leadership Team Role

Orangetheory - Franchise #0082•Aurora, CO

5h•$30 - $65•Onsite

About The Position

This is an important leadership role. Every member who walks into Southlands gets 60 minutes which our coach’s that makes the other 23 hours of the day better! The Head Coach owns that outcome — not just for the classes you teach, but for every class on the schedule. You set the standard for what coaching looks like here, you develop the coaches who deliver it, and you’re accountable for a member experience consistent enough that people keep showing up. This is a coaching job and a leadership job. If you only want one of those, this isn’t the right fit.

Responsibilities

Coach the floor. Teach your assigned classes at a level that sets the bar. Know names. Know goals. Know who’s been gone for two weeks and say something about it when they come back.
Build the team. Recruit, onboard, and develop coaches. Run class observations and give feedback that’s specific and actionable, not vague encouragement. Hold new coaches to the standard from day one rather than hoping they grow into it.
Own the schedule. Manage coach coverage, subs, and last-minute gaps. A class never goes uncoached and never gets a coach who isn’t prepared.
Protect quality and safety. Audit template execution, form correction, equipment setup, and pacing across the schedule. Fix drift early. Escalate what needs escalating.
Drive results members can see. Champion heart-rate monitor adoption, Splat Point education, and benchmark participation. Make progress visible so members have a reason to stay.
Partner with the front of house. Work with the sales team on intro classes, first-timer conversion, and at-risk member outreach. A great first class is the single best retention tool we have — you make sure every one of them is great.
Represent the studio. Community events, member challenges, social content, local partnerships. You’re a face of Southlands outside the four walls, not just inside them.
Leading and motivating members through pre-defined workouts
Making sure members are using the correct form and offering corrections if they aren’t
Understanding the science behind our workouts specifically, heart-rate focused training programs in general and being aware of what the competition is doing
Knowing how to use and demonstrate usage for every piece of equipment utilized in every workout
Being a team player
