About STRONG Pilates
The world's fastest growing boutique fitness brand. 100+ studios. 14 countries.
Pilates Inspired. Cardio Infused. STRONG is more than Pilates — it's a full-body workout that fuses Pilates, cardio and strength into one 45-minute session: Row. Ride. Reform. Powered by exclusive Rowformer and Bikeformer technology.
The Role
STRONG Willow Park opens Fall 2026, bringing the world's only cardio-integrated reformer format to one of South Calagary’s established and accessible communities.Surrounded by local amenities and serving a wellness-focused clientele, our Studio aims to offer welcoming environment dedicated to movement, connection and exceptional client experience.
This is a role in two phases. Before we open, you are a builder — driving the founding member pre-sale campaign, securing corporate wellness partnerships with local businesses and establishing STRONG as the name in Calgary fitness before a single class is taught. Once open, you are the operator and instructor — leading a high-performing studio team, owning membership retention, delivering the STRONG experience every day and teaching several classes per week. We'll fund your STRONG Academy certification as part of your onboarding.
We want someone who is energised by all of it.
