We’re looking for a confident, motivated Lead Sales Associate to oversee day-to-day operations, drive sales & membership growth, deliver an exceptional member experience—all while leading and developing a high-performing team.
As a Lead Sales Associate, you’ll act as the frontline manager, sales leader, and be a certified Stretch Practitioner. While coaching Sales Associates to achieve their goals is a large part of this role, you will also be well-versed in The Stretch Zone Method, our science-based practitioner-assisted stretching technique, to ensure that practitioners are properly and safely stretching all prospective and existing members, according to our strict guidelines and protocols.
What You’ll Do
- Lead by example in sales, customer experience, and daily studio standards
- Drive individual and team sales goals through lead follow-up, consultations, demos, and closing
- Coach and support Sales Associates through sales conversations, objections, and follow-up
- Help train and onboard new team members
- Support the Studio Lead with daily operations, reporting, accountability, and studio performance
- Build relationships with members, prospects, referral partners, and the local community
- Help create a positive, energetic, and accountable studio culture
What We’re Looking For
- Confident communicator who genuinely enjoys working with people
- Goal-oriented, competitive, and motivated by results
- Strong problem-solving and leadership skills
- Organized, dependable, and comfortable taking ownership
- Sales or customer service experience preferred
- Background in fitness, wellness, healthcare, anatomy & physiology, kinesiology, or a related field preferred
- Comfortable learning and following established sales systems and processes
Training & Certification
As part of our paid Lead Sales Associate management training, you will also complete a nationally accredited, 40-hour Stretch Practitioner certification program, consisting of both virtual and in-person training, to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in this role.
The Opportunity
This role is ideal for someone who has experience beyond membership sales. We are looking for someone with previous management/lead experience looking to grow as a leader, while making a meaningful impact on the health and wellness of our members.

A Day in the Life
- Your day starts by opening the studio and ensuring everything is clean, organized, and ready to welcome members.

- You support the team in meeting membership sales goals by demonstrating how to communicate the value of practitioner-assisted stretching.
- Between appointments, you're tracking performance metrics, reviewing KPIs, and ensuring the studio is hitting daily and monthly goals. If a member has a question or concern, you're there to resolve it with professionalism and a personal touch.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Most stretching methodologies try to wait out, overpower, trick, or ignore the stretch reflex. The proven way to increase performance and mobility is to work with the stretch reflex with the revolutionary techniques available through the Stretch Zone® Methodology (SZM). The SZM Practitioner identifies any postural and movement limitations, then tries to correct or mitigate them through specific applied stretching sessions. With a balanced system the customer will reach their true maximum potential, whether they are an professional athlete, weekend warrior, couch potato, or suffering from chronic pain or illness.
A career with Stretch Zone® means not just meeting and maintaining a level of excellence, but continually improving in skill, to further one’s expertise and to advance the industry. As a minimum prerequisite to SZM we recommend a personal training certification in ACE, NASM, ACSM, NSCA or NCSF and/or a license in therapeutic massage or other accredited body work.
