The Opportunity:

Since opening in 1996, the mission of Chelsea Piers has never changed: transform lives by delivering exceptional sports and fitness experiences that promote a healthier, happier, and more active lifestyle. Chelsea Piers Fitness has proven its commitment to world-class fitness with its 130,000 square foot flagship club in Chelsea and a stand-alone club in Downtown Brooklyn. In the Spring of 2023, Chelsea Piers Fitness will expand to Prospect Heights, opening our second stand- alone 52,000 square foot club. Chelsea Piers Field House will be opening its first stand-alone 75,000 square foot facility.

Our Fitness clubs feature study-quality fitness programming, comprehensive personal training, indoor swimming pools, recreational and competitive sports clubs, communal work and social spaces, artisanal food offerings and a year-round calendar of social and cultural events that reflect the ethos of the neighborhoods they serve. We focus on creating spaces that both inspire a sense of belonging and connection + foster growth in the individual through dedication and joy.

The new Field House will feature Olympic-level gymnastics training equipment, state-of-the-art indoor boarded soccer fields, a warm-water, learn-to-swim pool, and multiple party/event spaces. We are excited to build a dynamic new team at this location that believes in the power of youth sports, health, and wellness.

This is an opportunity to be a part of an ambitious, high-end fitness business. Our goal is to deliver consistently safe, positive, and engaging member experiences. Chelsea Piers seeks an enthusiastic, motivated individual to work as part of our team at Prospect Heights.
