Group Fitness Team Lead

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. **HOW YOU WILL CHANGE LIVES** The Group Fitness Team Lead (GFTL) is the coach behind the coaches--the person who ensures every class motivates, UPLIFTs, and creates community. 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. **WHO CAN THRIVE IN THIS ROLE** You don't need prior Group Fitness leadership experience to succeed here--just a nationally accredited certification and a drive to lead people. If you've led teams in retail, restaurants, hospitality, sales, or other fast-paced industries, your leadership experience translates. We'll train and support you as you build a strong instructor team while bringing the energy, organization, and motivation that fuels our Group Fitness community. **WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?** When you join VASA, you'll find more than a job--you'll find a place to belong.
