Studio Manager

RockSalt Pilates | Gilbert, Arizona

Some people can run a business.

Some people can light up a room.

We're looking for someone who can do both.

At RockSalt, we're creating something different. Our classes combine Pilates, resistance training, cardio, and music into an athletic, high-energy experience that challenges people while making them feel confident, encouraged, and seen.

And we're looking for a leader who can bring that same energy to both our studio operations and our instructor team.

This isn't a position where you simply manage a schedule and teach a few classes.

You'll help build the business, lead the people, and create the experience that keeps members coming back.

• Set clear expectations and hold team members accountable.
• Create a positive, collaborative, high-performance culture.
• Provide coaching and feedback to help instructors grow.

• Ensure members receive an exceptional experience from their first visit forward.
• Manage studio systems, scheduling, and operational processes.
• Resolve member concerns with professionalism and care.
• Maintain RockSalt brand standards and operating procedures.

Lead the room.

Once authorized to teach the RockSalt method, you'll also be an active part of the instructor team.

• Teach a regular schedule of RockSalt classes.
• Lead with musicality, confidence, energy, and connection.
• Deliver safe, effective movement and coaching.
• Model the RockSalt member experience for other instructors.
• Participate in ongoing instructor development and training.

You might be a:

• Fitness studio manager ready for a bigger opportunity.
• Group fitness instructor who loves developing people and wants to lead a business.
• Personal trainer or fitness professional with strong sales and leadership skills.
• Hospitality or retail leader with a passion for fitness and an ability to motivate others.
• Dance, athletic, or performance professional with proven management experience.

Here's what matters most:

• Proven ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team.
• Strong sales instincts and a commitment to member growth and retention.
• Confidence working with goals, data, and business performance metrics.
• Excellent communication, organization, and follow-through.
• Musicality, rhythm, movement aptitude, and presence.
• Willingness to learn the RockSalt method and receive coaching.
• Ability to create genuine connections and make people feel seen.
• Accountability, reliability, and the initiative to solve problems.

We believe great leaders deserve opportunities to grow.

• RockSalt-specific instructor training and development.
• Access to operational resources and studio support.
• Ongoing workshops and educational opportunities.
• Opportunities to develop leadership and business management skills.
• The opportunity to help shape a growing fitness community.
  

Step 1: Apply and answer a few questions about your management experience, fitness background, and availability.

Step 3: Meet with our team for an interview and practical leadership assessment.

Step 4: Complete an instructor audition or movement-based assessment. We're evaluating your musicality, communication, energy, movement awareness, and potential—not expecting you to already know RockSalt.

Teaching and lead instructor responsibilities are subject to demonstrated readiness and approval.

Bring your leadership. Bring your rhythm. Bring your drive to help people—and a business—grow.
