At Mather Place, wellness is not an add‑on—it's a way of life. As the Spa & Fitness Manager, you will lead a comprehensive, hospitality‑driven wellness experience that integrates fitness, aquatics, spa/salon services, and holistic signature programs into meaningful, high‑quality offerings for residents across the continuum. In this highly visible leadership role, you will design, implement, schedule, and measure individualized and group wellness programs across indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as virtual and on‑demand platforms, ensuring programs reflect diverse abilities, interests, and goals; this includes directly creating and teaching a variety of fitness class modalities and developing personalized and group fitness programs. You will also oversee spa and salon services by supporting and managing spa specialists and their offerings, without directly providing spa services. You will manage wellness amenity spaces and equipment, oversee and develop independent contractors and wellness specialists, and collaborate closely with external vendors, community partners, and internal Resident Engagement colleagues to ensure program excellence, safety, and innovation. This is a full‑time, salaried (exempt), 100% in‑person leadership role offering scheduling flexibility across days, evenings, and weekends, ideal for a fitness‑focused manager who brings hands‑on experience leading and facilitating engaging fitness programs, and who thrives on building relationships, inspiring others, and delivering exceptional wellness experiences.
