Job Description

At VASA Fitness, we're more than a gym--we're a community built on unity, passion, love, integrity, fun, and trust. We create UPLIFTing experiences for everyone through inclusive, accessible, and on-trend fitness. VASA is a place where lives are changed through authentic connections, growth, and support--for both members and team members.

 

We're looking for a District Manager who wants to be in it--leading from the front, driving performance, and building strong, results-focused teams.

 

This is a unique opportunity to build something from the ground up. As we enter a brand-new market, you’ll open and lead our first club in Cedar Rapids—building the team, driving performance, and setting the standard. As we continue to expand, you’ll develop your AGM into a GM and step into a District Manager role leading multiple clubs. Training will begin in our Illinois market before launch.

 

HOW YOU WILL CHANGE LIVES

 

Owning the Business

 

This is a hands-on, in-the-field leadership role.

 

As a District Manager, you'll lead several clubs--working through General Managers and Team Leads to ensure each location is operating at a high level and delivering a consistent, high-quality member experience.

 

Most of your time is spent in the clubs--walking floors, reviewing performance with your GMs, and working through real operational and sales challenges as they arise.

 

You'll own performance across your district, including membership growth and retention, revenue streams like STUDIO and personal training, and key operational drivers such as labor management and team turnover. This includes managing district budgets, guiding club-level financial decisions, and ensuring labor and operating costs align with business goals.

 

Success in this role comes from strong prioritization--using data to identify trends, make quick, informed decisions, and keep your clubs on track.

 

Building and Leading High-Performing Teams

 

This role is about leading through others. You'll set clear expectations, coach consistently, and hold your leaders accountable to both execution and results--building teams that can operate independently at a high level.

 

You'll partner closely with your Regional Director to align on priorities, communicate challenges, and drive improvements across your district.

 

Equally important is building a strong leadership bench--developing General Managers and Team Leads, identifying future leaders, and creating a culture of ownership, accountability, and high performance across your clubs.
