Assistant Manager (Studio Manager Growth Track) – MBodied Strength

Location: Seattle, WA

Full-Time | On-site

Salary Range: $60,000–$70,000 annually (salaried, non-exempt) + up to $13,000 annually in bonuses (based on KPIs)

About Us

MBodied Strength is a leading personal training studio in Seattle, offering private and semi-private strength training for the city's high-performing women. We teach mobility, strength, recovery, nutrition, and lifestyle habits that help our clients feel as powerful in their bodies as they do in their careers.

We're expanding from our small, intimate studio into a larger space in the heart of Capitol Hill. To grow into this new space without losing the high-touch service we're known for, we're looking for an assistant manager with a fitness background who is eager to grow into our Studio Manager role and help us build something special.

About the Role

This is a unique opportunity to join a company in the midst of exciting growth. The Assistant Studio Manager will play a key role in the transition from our current studio space into our brand-new flagship location in Seattle's Capitol Hill. During the first three months, you'll work closely with the Owner to support scheduling, operational coordination, and the studio launch process. Responsibilities build in stages, so you will take on more ownership as you grow into the role.

This isn't just a management role. We're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career. As you grow, you'll take on increasing responsibility across operations, leadership, hiring, marketing and business strategy, with the opportunity to become the Owner's right-hand leader as we continue to expand.

Success in Your First 90 Days Looks Like

• Becoming the go-to person for the day-to-day operations of the studio.
• Learning and confidently leading our discovery call process.
• Building trusted relationships with the team and clients.
• Helping execute the successful launch of our new flagship location.
• Taking ownership of projects that free up the owner to work more strategically.

You'll have meaningful ownership from day one. We trust our leaders to take initiative, solve problems and continuously improve the business while being supported by the Owner.

This Role Is For You If You Are

• An experienced fitness professional, such as an assistant manager, personal training manager, or lead trainer, who is ready for more responsibility
• Motivated to grow into a leadership/management role and eager to learn how to lead a team
• Naturally organized, proactive, and love building systems
• Passionate about helping people with their health and fitness
• Comfortable learning from a founder and being mentored closely
• A team player who can eventually become a team leader

You don't wait to be told what to do. You naturally notice problems and enjoy finding solutions. You take pride in helping a team succeed and treat the business like it's your own.

Work Schedule

• Full-time, salaried, non-exempt (overtime-eligible), based on-site in Seattle
• Standard schedule: 40 hours/week, Monday–Friday
• Occasional weekend, evening, or holiday work is expected, especially during studio launch and events. When this happens, we adjust our schedule within the same workweek to stay at 40 hours.

Initial Responsibilities (First 3–6 Months)

• Learn and then own discovery calls, converting qualified leads into prospective clients
• Assist with the transition from current operations to the new studio
• Support Owner with scheduling, staffing, and system setup as part of the studio launch
• Help manage day-to-day operations while building knowledge of backend systems and procedures
• Coordinate with staff and vendors to ensure a smooth studio opening
• Begin to manage social media engagement and support event logistics
• Begin to oversee and mentor new hires, with coaching from the Owner on leading a team

Growth Path: Becoming Studio Manager (12–18 Months)

• Manage day-to-day operations and lead the front desk team
• Own lead generation tracking and client communication pipelines
• Oversee social media engagement and execution of the marketing calendar
• Support hiring, onboarding, team accountability, and evaluations
• Participate in financial reporting reviews and strategic planning with Owner
• Lead studio events and manage strategic partnerships

Our goal is to develop someone who can eventually run the day-to-day operations of the business, allowing the Owner to focus on vision, strategy and future growth. Duties phase in gradually as you show readiness, with the Owner's support at each step.

Weekly Activities

• Support weekly team meetings and 1:1 check-ins with staff and Owner

• Manage studio newsletter and manage content calendar
• Oversee and support the studio intern(s) in administrative and marketing projects

• Strong leadership skills and an attitude of ownership
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Familiarity with CRM, scheduling platforms, or content creation is a plus
• Passionate about fitness and personal growth
• Bachelor's degree preferred but not required

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $60,000 to $70,000 depending on experience and progression, for a 40-hour workweek. This is a salaried, non-exempt position.
• Paid time off: 2 weeks
• Bonus: Up to $13,000 annually based on KPIs
• ICHRA:
• Health insurance reimbursement
• Health & wellness perks (gym access, participation in our program, InBody scans, workshops)
