The Training Manager is a pivotal role within the Pilates Athletics team, responsible for the hands-on delivery, coordination, and quality assurance of trainer education across the global network across our FS8 and VAURA brands. As the workout experience is our product, this role operates in close alignment with the Director of Athletics to protect programming intent, movement quality, and coaching standards at every studio. 

This is a delivery-first, travel-intensive role: the Training Manager spends the majority of their time on the road, leading Trainer Inductions, evaluating trainers, supporting Head Trainers in person, and serving as a visible standard-bearer for what great FS8 and VAURA coaching looks and feels like. They are organized, passionate about the brand, and deeply committed to trainer development and studio consistency.

Travel Requirement and Work Schedule

• This role requires approximately 80% travel. Frequent, ongoing travel to studios is core to the job and includes in-person trainer inductions, Head Trainer visits, quality control workshops, and regional workshops across the network. Candidates should be fully prepared for a travel-intensive schedule before applying.
• Schedule flexibility is expected given the broad nature of the network and the demands of in-person training.
• In weeks where HQ leads a trainer induction, the standard work schedule shifts to Thursday through Monday, with Tuesday and Wednesday as designated days off.
