Full-Time | Base + Commission | Career Growth Opportunity
Posted by Staffing Fitness LLC on behalf of our client
🚀 The Opportunity
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.
If you love fitness, thrive on hustle, and want a clear career path, this is your moment.
Phase 1: Pre-Sale Manager (Immediate Start)
You'll be the face of the brand in Burlington before the studio even opens. Your mission: generate buzz, build relationships, and convert leads into founding members.
What You'll Do:

Build partnerships with 150+ local businesses (gyms, salons, coffee shops, corporate offices, etc.)
Follow up with every lead within 2–3 hours — speed wins
Engage daily on social media to build community excitement and brand awareness
Track all leads, outreach, and conversions in the CRM with precision
Create grassroots energy that makes the studio launch a local event
Phase 2: Studio Manager (Post-Launch Career Path)
Once the studio opens and you've proven your leadership in the pre-sale phase, you'll transition into the Studio Manager role — the heartbeat of the studio.
