Head Coach & Community Manager

Head Coach \& Community Manager

Head Coach \& Community Manager

tone.

tone. is one of Switzerland's leading boutique fitness brands. Our signature workout is a high\-intensity, low\-impact, immersive full\-body class on a Pilates\-inspired reformer — designed to build strength and flexibility through slow, controlled movement.

Alongside our partner studio NOW, we currently operate 5 studios in Zürich and are expanding to 10–50 studios across Europe in the coming years. Our mission is to help people create the strongest version of themselves and improve their fitness, health, and overall life. Our workouts don't just transform bodies — they transform lifestyles.

We are looking for 2–3 Head Coach \& Community Managers who are ready to lead — not just teach. You will initially oversee 2–3 tone. studios, transitioning to a single studio as the Head Coach \& Community Manager as the team grows.

This role requires significant in\-studio presence, so we ask candidates to indicate their preferred studio location during the application. Final studio assignment is determined through the interview process, and we may suggest an alternative location if we believe it is a stronger fit.

What you will do

Coach \& lead the experience

Maintain a full teaching schedule – 8\-14 classes per week, with availability across mornings, evenings and weekends

Deliver best\-in\-class tone. classes that consistently meet the coaching quality standard – you are the benchmark

Follow tone. programming, springs, and playlist guidelines for a consistent, on\-brand studio experience

Own the in\-studio client journey – new client welcome and follow\-up, retention conversations, proactive outreach to lapsing members

Support in\-studio sales – know current packages and promotions, build client loyalty through the experience and the relationship

Be the first point of contact for client concerns; respond promptly and escalate where needed

Build relationships with the local wellness community to strengthen tone.’s presence and drive organic growth through marketing support

Develop the team

Deliver weekly informal touchpoints with each coach – one specific, actionable piece of feedback per conversation

Run monthly scorecard review with each coach – own the development conversation between formal check\-ins with the Head of Product \& Training

Support new coach training during ITP cohorts – in\-studio support and feedback sessions, as needed

Flag coaches who are below standard; support the execution of any improvement plans

Work with the Head of Product \& Training to organize at least one team touchpoint per quarter – workshop, training, or team event that builds cohesion and culture

Run the studio

Ensure the studio opens and closes on brand – equipment is impeccable, coaches are prepared, standards are met daily

Manage sub requests and schedule coverage at the studio level; escalate scheduling infrastructure to the Area Manager and/or Head of Operations (as applicable)

Hold coaches accountable to pre and post\-class duties – client engagement, announcements, studio checklist, \& community building support

Monitor studio\-level client data – utilization, retention, new client tracking, \& member growth

Participate in regular meetings with the Area Manager and/or Head of Operations (as applicable) and Head of Product \& Training; provide honest, timely updates on team and studio health

What we are looking for

2\-3 years of group fitness coaching experience – boutique studio background preferred, but strong coaches from any format are welcome

Proven track record of strong class utilization and client retention

Experience giving feedback or developing other coaches – formally or informally

Comfortable on a mic leading high\-energy classes with loud music and a full room

Genuine investment in the growth of the people around you – their success feels like yours

You coach for the brand, not for yourself – client relationships belong to tone., not to you personally

Flexible availability – mornings, evenings, and weekends; able to accommodate fluctuating studio needs

English required; German is a strong plus

tone. ITP certification required before or shortly after hire

What you get

Base salary of CHF 55\-65k plus commission
