The Role This is an important leadership role. Every member who walks into Southlands gets 60 minutes which our coach’s that makes the other 23 hours of the day better!

The Head Coach owns that outcome — not just for the classes you teach, but for every class on the schedule. You set the standard for what coaching looks like here, you develop the coaches who deliver it, and you’re accountable for a member experience consistent enough that people keep showing up. This is a coaching job and a leadership job. If you only want one of those, this isn’t the right fit.

What You’ll Own Coach the floor. Teach your assigned classes at a level that sets the bar. Know names. Know goals. Know who’s been gone for two weeks and say something about it when they come back. Build the team. Recruit, onboard, and develop coaches. Run class observations and give feedback that’s specific and actionable, not vague encouragement. Hold new coaches to the standard from day one rather than hoping they grow into it.

Own the schedule. Manage coach coverage, subs, and last-minute gaps. A class never goes uncoached and never gets a coach who isn’t prepared.

Protect quality and safety. Audit template execution, form correction, equipment setup, and pacing across the schedule. Fix drift early. Escalate what needs escalating.

Drive results members can see. Champion heart-rate monitor adoption, Splat Point education, and benchmark participation. Make progress visible so members have a reason to stay. Partner with the front of house. Work with the sales team on intro classes, first-timer conversion, and at-risk member outreach. A great first class is the single best retention tool we have — you make sure every one of them is great.

Represent the studio. Community events, member challenges, social content, local partnerships. You’re a face of Southlands outside the four walls, not just inside them.

What You Bring Required • Current nationally accredited personal training certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, NCSF, or equivalent) • Current CPR/AED certification • 2+ years coaching group fitness, with demonstrated command of a room • Availability that includes early mornings, evenings, and weekends • Ability to complete Orangetheory coach certification within [XX] days of hire Preferred • Prior Orangetheory coaching experience • Experience training, mentoring, or supervising other coaches • Comfort with studio systems, scheduling tools, and performance reporting Non-negotiable traits • You show up early and prepared, every time • You give and take direct feedback without ego • You’re reliable when it’s inconvenient • You’d rather fix a problem than explain it

How We Operate Four core values run this studio. They’re the standard you’ll be coached against and the standard you’ll coach others against. • Serve First, Lead Always — The member’s experience comes before your convenience. Leadership is a behavior, not a title.

• Own the Energy — You set the temperature of the room. Bad day, small class, Monday morning — doesn’t matter.

• Raise the Standard — Good enough isn’t. We get measurably better every quarter or we’re going backward.

• Win as One — Coaches, sales, and management run one playbook. No silos, no scoreboard-watching between departments.

Why Southlands • Owner-operated studio with a management team that’s present, not absentee • Clear path to Studio Manager and multi-unit leadership as we grow in the Denver metro • Continuing education support and certification reimbursement • Free membership plus [merchandise/retail discount] • Real input into how this studio runs — your ideas get tested, not filed
