Thank you for considering Chuze as your next move in your career path.
We want this to be the right move for both you and us, so we encourage you to read on to see if our core values and ideas align with what you want to gain and give in a career with us.
We are not a perfect company and we don’t pretend to be. We work very hard and we have a lot of fun. The outcome is that you get a career that you enjoy, where your ideas are heard, you are empowered, invested in, and cared about as a person, not just a number on a payroll chart. An added bonus is that you will directly and sometimes indirectly change our member’s lives.
Working at Chuze is different. We are a hospitality first company that uses fitness to open that doorway. Our work is less about reps and sets and is instead about building meaningful relationships and taking care of people. Think: People first, gym second. We even have a People and Culture department to support, create, strengthen, and back up that ideology.
The Fitness Industry is exciting and competitive and Chuze is uniquely positioned within it. Our concept is based on value, NOT sales. In fact, you won’t find a single employee with the word sales in their title. Let that sink in and now take a big exhale. We won’t ask you to haggle, but we will expect you to smile and lead with Kindness. ALWAYS.
We are fired up to embark on this journey with you. Our hope is that we can add as much value to your life as we know you will in the lives of our members.
Our promise to our current and future employees is to actively fight toward being a sanctuary that's free from tokenism, microaggressions, or any other form of racism or discrimination. We have blind spots and are committed to expanding our vision. There is always more work to be done, not only within Chuze Fitness but also in our communities. We promise to strive to be the blueprint of what the world should be and will give every employee the freedom to be passionate, the freedom to be heard,
