About Jungle.
Boutique fitness, built one studio at a time.
Welcome to Jungle.
Jungle Studio Fitness is a boutique reformer Pilates and movement brand built on three values: connection, mindfulness, and growth.
Our clients come to us for the workout, but they stay for the experience — the warmth at the front desk, the scent of the lobby, the music that meets them at the door, the feeling that someone has thought about every detail of their hour with us. We're a class-based studio, with reformer Pilates at the core and complementary mat-based programming alongside it.
We are not building a chain. We are building the next generation of boutique fitness — one studio, one shift, one guest at a time. Three studios today, more on the way. The standards we set right now in Fort Worth, Lovers, and Lakewood are the standards every future Jungle will be measured against. Each studio carries the same promise: warm, grounded, elevated. A guest should feel the same Jungle the moment they walk through any of our doors.

The Role.
Studio Manager. — Park Cities · Dallas.
At Jungle, the Studio Manager is the person who holds the business together — the operator, the culture-keeper, and the standard-setter all in one. This role exists because a studio this intentional doesn't run itself: it takes someone who owns the full picture, from the numbers on a weekly report to the feeling a member gets the moment they walk through the door.
You are not a back-office manager. You are the most grounded, present person in the building — the one who leads the team through coaching, watches the schedule like it matters, and protects the member experience before anything has a chance to slip. You're reading the data on Monday and adjusting the plan by Wednesday. You're on the floor during the morning rush, not in a meeting about it.
We are looking for someone who is excited to build something that actually feels different — someone who understands that warmth and performance aren't opposites, and who is ready to lead a team that takes real pride in the work.
- 01STUDIO PERFORMANCEUtilization, intro conversion, retention, retail — these numbers are yours to move. You analyze, you plan, and you act.
- 02YOUR FRONT DESK TEAMYou recruit, hire, onboard, and develop the people who greet every member. You set the standard and coach to it, every shift.
- 03THE MEMBER EXPERIENCEFrom the scent of the lobby to the way a concern gets resolved, the experience is yours to protect. You move fast on problems and faster on prevention.
- 04INSTRUCTOR OVERSIGHTClass quality, schedule effectiveness, and instructor performance all sit with you. You're the partner instructors trust and the operator leadership relies on.
- 05DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONSScheduling, staffing, facilities, retail, payroll — the full operational picture. You keep things running cleanly, even when the day doesn't cooperate.
- 06LOCAL COMMUNITY PRESENCEYou build the relationships outside the studio walls that bring people in. Growth here is personal, not just promotional.
