The Vital Stretch — Mequon Move Freely. Live Fully.

Now Hiring:

Vital Stretch Practitioner (VSP)

ABOUT THE VITAL STRETCH

— MEQUON The Vital Stretch is opening its first southeastern Wisconsin location at River Centre in Mequon. We help people move better, recover faster, and live with less pain through one-on-one assisted stretching delivered by trained practitioners using a proprietary method designed by a Physical Therapist and a Chiropractic Physician. This isn't a gym, and our practitioners aren't trainers in the traditional sense. We're closer to a wellness clinic than a fitness studio — our work is consultative, education-based, and built around a personalized care plan for each member. We work with active adults, weekend athletes, desk workers with chronic tightness, and people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who want to keep doing the things they love. Our job is to help them get there. This is an owner-led, small-team studio. That means you'll work closely with the owner and a tight-knit group of practitioners in a hands-on environment — with real growth opportunity as the business scales.

THE ROLE

VITAL

STRETCH PRACTITIONER

As a VSP, you'll deliver one-on-one stretch sessions to clients across a wide range of ages, goals, and mobility levels. You'll conduct assessments to understand each client's needs, design custom care plans, build lasting relationships, and guide members through their journey to better movement. Our approach is consultative and education-based — we help people understand their bodies and make informed decisions about their care, not chase short-term sales.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

• Deliver one-on-one assisted stretch sessions to members
• Conduct Vital Signs screenings for new clients and translate findings into custom care plans
• Have honest, educational conversations with clients about their progress, next steps, and membership options
• Maintain detailed session notes and progress tracking in our studio software
• Manage your member base — check-ins, texts, follow-ups, scheduling
• Set and hit monthly goals with the leadership team
• Help create social media content for the studio (educational and approachable; no influencer-level performance required)
• Keep the studio space clean, organized, and welcoming
• Make outbound calls to leads and follow up with members between sessions
• Support local community events — both at the studio and at partner locations.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required:

• Genuine interest in anatomy, movement, and helping people feel better
• Strong communicator — you listen well and explain things clearly

• Background in exercise science, kinesiology, athletic training, physical therapy, or related field
• Prior experience in assisted stretching, personal training, sports performance, or recovery work

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

As a growing studio, we're actively building our leadership team from within. High-performing VSPs who demonstrate strong client outcomes, coaching capability, and operational leadership will have real opportunities to grow into Assistant Manager and Studio Manager roles as the business expands. If you're looking for more than just a job — a real career trajectory in the wellness space — we want to talk to you.
