About The Position

The Studio Coordinator is assigned to a defined Studio or combination of Studios and supports the disciplines, programs, services, operations, and business objectives associated with those areas. Specific Studio assignments, areas of responsibility, and required certifications are identified separately and may be modified based on Club programming and business needs. JOB SUMMARY The Studio Coordinator is a hands-on supervisory member of the Los Angeles Athletic Club Athletics & Fitness team, supporting Athletics & Fitness leadership in the execution and growth of one or more designated Studios. LAAC Studios operate as specialized business units within the broader Athletics and Membership platform. Each Studio is expected to deliver distinctive programming, build member community, contribute financially, support membership growth, and consistently reflect the standards and character of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. The Studio Coordinator combines technical expertise, direct member service, operational supervision, and business support. Depending upon the Studio, the Coordinator may also be required to maintain professional certifications and personally deliver classes, private training, coaching, treatments, or other specialized services. The position is a player/coach role. Initially, up to approximately 75% of working time may be devoted to direct service delivery. As the Studio develops stronger participation, staffing, profitability, and operational stability, that commitment should generally progress toward approximately 40%, allowing the Coordinator to devote greater attention to member experience, team supervision, programming, operational execution, and business development. Throughout every aspect of the position, the Studio Coordinator is expected to deliver and reinforce a luxury level of service and personal attention. Technical competency alone is not sufficient. Members should experience thoughtful recognition, anticipation of needs, personalization, responsiveness, discretion, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality comparable to the service standards of an exceptional luxury hotel or private club. Success is therefore measured not simply by classes taught or services personally delivered, but by the quality of the member experience, strength of Studio execution, development of the team, participation of members, financial contribution, and community created around the Studio.
