About BEAT81

At BEAT81, we’re on a mission to revolutionize fitness by merging the best of technology, group training, and expert coaching. As a rapidly growing fitness-tech startup, we empower people across Germany, and soon across Europe, to Sweat Smarter Together. Through innovative HIIT & RIDE workouts, real-time heart rate monitoring, and gamification, we’re transforming the traditional fitness experience into something dynamic, personalized, and impactful.

We’re not just building a global leader in fitness and technology; we’re building a world-class team. At BEAT81, we value passion, potential, and the power of fresh perspectives.

BEAT81 is coming to Stuttgart! We are opening our first studio in the city (CIRCUIT format, right in the city centre) in late 2026, and we are looking for a Fitness Manager to become the face of BEAT81 in Stuttgart.

This is a hybrid role: you own the local coach community and carry overall responsibility for the studio experience. During the launch phase you work hand in hand with our Expansion team and take over from our Expansion Fitness Manager after a structured onboarding; once the studio is live, it is yours. You are the first permanent BEAT81 team member on the ground in a brand-new city, so you get to build things right from day one.

You will

Freelancer collaboration & launch support

• Support the launch of our local freelance coach network by coordinating try-outs, launch events and the operational onboarding process for new collaborators during the studio opening phase.


• Act as the local point of contact for general operational questions from freelance coaches and facilitate communication between coaches and the central BEAT81 teams where needed.


• Gather insights from the studio by collecting feedback from freelance coaches and members and sharing relevant observations with the central Fitness and Product teams to support continuous improvement.


• Help establish a positive local coach network by supporting community initiatives and contributing to a great launch experience in Stuttgart.


• Own the studio experience: carry overall responsibility for a seamless, safe, and inviting studio. Most customers in Stuttgart will experience BEAT81 for the very first time, and their first impression is yours to shape.


• Steer studio upkeep: oversee equipment condition, inventory, and orders, coordinating with our local Facility & Operations support for hands-on maintenance tasks.


• Grow BEAT81 locally: build relationships within the Stuttgart fitness community and support local growth initiatives.

You have

• Experience in structured group fitness coaching (HIIT / functional training) at a high standard.


• Experience in group fitness leadership or working alongside other fitness professionals; you know how to mentor and support coaches.


• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail; you manage multiple priorities on the go and nothing slips through the cracks.


• A hands-on builder mindset: you are excited (not scared) by being the first permanent person on the ground in a new BEAT81 city.


• Excellent communication skills with coaches, customers, and central teams alike.


• Fluent German and at least B1/B2 English.


• Comfort with a non-traditional schedule, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when the studio needs you.

Nice to have

• Certification in sports science, personal training, or a related field.


• Experience building or guiding high performing coaching teams.


• Familiarity with fitness-tech, gamification, or boutique fitness concepts.

• WALK THE TALK: Unlimited BEAT81 workouts for you and one other person of your choice. Additionally a membership to John Reed Berlin Bötzow just for you: We guarantee that you'll get fit with us.


• FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS: Yoga before work and a workout at lunch? No problem. With our flexible working hours, you can easily balance your personal and professional life.


• LEARN & GROW: We support your professional development with a dedicated budget for courses, workshops, and certifications.


• MASSAGE DISCOUNT: Relax and recover with 12% off all New:Soul massage bookings.


• EVENTS: Our annual BEAT Connect event in Berlin brings together team members from all cities for inspiring sessions, fun activities, and meaningful connection. On top of that, we host monthly team meet-ups, team workouts, and our much loved summer and winter parties to keep the team spirit high all year round.


• TASTY PERKS: Free drinks, fresh fruit, coffee, tasty granola, and more will keep you energized throughout the day.


• HEALTH INITIATIVES: Stay healthy and balanced with our quarterly health management initiatives to support your physical and mental well-being, keeping you energized and focused throughout the year.


• BRING YOUR DOG TO WORK: No need for dog-sitting - your furry friend is always welcome in the office!


• MONEY ON TOP: Sign up for a private company pension plan in partnership with Stuttgarter Versicherung - so you can look into the future with confidence.


• FUTUREBENS: You will have access to a personalized dashboard on FutureBens, the platform for sustainable and future-oriented employee offers from over 130 eco-friendly brands.
