About ENQOR
ENQOR is a modern reformer and mat studio in Wellington built for people who take their wellness seriously and want training that delivers real results. Our classes combine athletic Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates, and Athletic Yoga to create movement that is precise, challenging, and intentional. We are not a "fluff" or "vibe" studio. We value form, clarity, consistency, and exceptional client experiences.
We are proud to have our doors open, our community growing, and our standards high. Our mission is to continue building a brand known for outstanding instruction and a team culture rooted in professionalism, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
About the Role
As ENQOR's Studio Manager, you will lead the daily operations of our growing boutique studio while helping maintain its exceptional quality. This is a dynamic, hands-on leadership position. You will oversee studio operations, lead the front desk team, uphold our elite teaching methodology, support client retention, and mentor our instructor team.
This role is ideal for an experienced fitness professional who enjoys coaching people, managing systems, building culture, and remaining deeply connected to clients through teaching. It is a strong next step for an instructor ready to move into management, as well as for someone who already has studio leadership experience and wants to make a meaningful impact.
You'll work directly alongside the Studio Owner and play a significant role in the daily success of the business.
