This isn't just a job — it's a ground-floor opportunity to launch a brand-new boutique fitness studio in Burlington, MA and grow into the leader who runs it.

Our client operates a high-energy group fitness concept with classes starting every 10 minutes. A new studio is opening in Burlington, and we need a driven, community-minded sales leader to build the membership base from scratch — signing up

440+ founding members before doors open

— and then step into the Studio Manager role to lead the team and operations long-term.
