Pilates Studio Manager Job at Club Pilates Gainesville in Tallahassee

Club Pilates Gainesville, Tallahassee, FL, United States


Studio Manager – Southwood Location (2176 Capital Cir SE Unit 302)

Are you a motivated leader who thrives on achieving goals, building relationships, and bringing out the best in others? Do you love working with people, staying organized, and taking initiative without being asked?

If so, Club Pilates Southwood is looking for YOU.

Who We Are
Club Pilates is a leading boutique fitness studio offering group reformer Pilates classes for all ages and fitness levels. We are passionate about helping people feel stronger, more confident, and more connected through a supportive, high‑energy environment. We believe a great studio experience comes from more than strong operations and sales -- it comes from consistency, hospitality, and a team that makes people feel welcome from the moment they walk in.

About the Role
We are seeking a Studio Manager who is sales‑driven, highly organized, proactive, and people‑focused. This is not a sit‑back management role -- this is for someone who is hands‑on, leads by example, and takes ownership of results.

You will be responsible for driving revenue, leading a team, building community inside and outside the studio, and keeping day‑to‑day operations running smoothly.

This position reports directly to the Regional Manager and is part of the Management Team supporting our group of four studios. The Studio Manager supervises the studio’s Sales Associates / front desk team, works closely with the Lead Instructor, and partners with the other Tallahassee Studio Manager to support strong execution and consistency across both studios.

Handle member needs including upgrades, freezes, and inquiries with professionalism

Help set the tone for a studio experience that feels polished, personal, and consistent

Lead & Develop Your Team

Train, coach, and motivate Sales Associates to perform at a high level

Foster a positive, accountable, and team‑oriented culture

Step in when needed and lead by example at all times

Work closely with the Lead Instructor on workshops, events, social media, and other member‑facing initiatives

Partner effectively with the other Tallahassee Studio Manager and broader leadership team to support alignment across studios

Own Studio Operations

Keep the studio running smoothly, clean, and organized

Manage inventory, schedules, and day‑to‑day operations

Proactively address challenges before they become problems

Take ownership of the studio environment, helping ensure the space is clean, stocked, maintained, and ready for members each day

Follow company policies and procedures related to spending, people matters, incident reporting, and compliance

Recognize what can be handled directly at the studio level and what needs to be escalated or coordinated with outside vendors or leadership

Who You Are

Sales‑driven and goal‑oriented -- you love achieving results

A people person who builds relationships naturally

Highly organized and detail‑oriented

Proactive -- you don’t wait, you take initiative

A strong leader who leads by example and holds others accountable

Comfortable in a fast‑paced, ever‑changing environment

Passionate about fitness, wellness, and helping others

Someone who brings good judgment, follow‑through, and attention to detail to the role

A community builder who enjoys making connections both inside the studio and out in the broader Tallahassee community

Able to balance high standards with kindness, professionalism, and common sense

Comfortable working within a clear reporting structure and collaborating closely with peers and other department leaders

What We’re Looking For
