Studio Manager

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a charismatic and commercially minded Studio Manager to play a key role in the launch and growth of an innovative fitness and lifestyle concept in London.

This is an opportunity to join a growing brand at an exciting stage of its journey, taking ownership of the studio experience, leading the Front of House team and helping establish the culture and operational standards of the new London location.

You’ll be someone who naturally brings energy into a room and enjoys building relationships. While fitness experience is a bonus, this role is ultimately about people, community and creating an environment members genuinely want to be part of.

As Studio Manager, you’ll sit at the centre of the studio, balancing people leadership, member experience, commercial performance and day-to-day operations. You’ll have access to membership and class data, using this information to understand what is working, identify opportunities and help the studio continue to grow.

The role will initially be highly hands‑on, with the expectation that you’ll develop into an increasingly autonomous leader as the studio maturing.

Salary: £32,000–£35,000 per annum

Working Pattern:
Full-time, with shifts aligned to studio opening hours. This is a hands‑on studio‑based role, so you should be comfortable working a varied schedule, including early mornings, evenings and weekends where required.
