Job Description

About the Role
As a Studio Manager, you are the in-studio leader responsible for creating an exceptional experience for both clients and team members every day. You are the operational heartbeat of your home studio, ensuring that every detail -- from cleanliness and hospitality to sales execution and studio standards -- is consistently delivered at a high level.

This is a unique opportunity to help launch our brand-new Mt. Juliet studio and be part of building its culture, community, and success from day one. You'll play an instrumental role in establishing strong operational habits, developing relationships with founding members, and creating the welcoming, high-energy experience that defines BODYROK.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys building relationships, and takes pride in creating an organized, welcoming, and high-performing studio. We're looking for someone who naturally takes initiative, solves problems before they become problems, and treats the studio as if it were their own.

While this role does not include direct people management, you will serve as a mentor, coach, and day-to-day resource for Studio Advisors by leading through example and reinforcing BODYROK's standards and culture.
