Overview
Program Director — Martial Arts & Gymnastics Studio Jobs in Studio City, CA at TumbleKick Taekwondo & Gymnastics
$65,000–$70,000/year + performance bonus | Full-time | Studio City, CA
TumbleKick is a family-owned Taekwondo and gymnastics studio in Studio City, led by a world champion and coach with decades of experience in the fitness industry. We’re an established studio with a loyal community of families — and we’re hiring our first full-time Program Director to run day-to-day operations and teach alongside our founder and part-time instructors.
This is a rare role: half coaching, half running the business. You’ll be the operational backbone of the studio and a face our students and parents know and trust.
What you’ll do
- 1/2 Teaching: Lead Taekwondo classes for students ages 3–14, assist with tumbling/gymnastics programs, help run belt tests, and lead our school-break camps. You’ll teach alongside and learn directly from our founder, a world-champion instructor.
- 1/2 Running the studio: Own our gym management software — scheduling, billing, memberships, enrollment. Manage parent communication: inquiries, trial classes, email, retention follow-up. Keep the class calendar and instructor coverage running smoothly, including staffing part-time instructors for camps and busy periods. Handle light marketing: website updates, Google listing, social media, review responses. Send the owners a simple monthly summary of enrollment and revenue.
- In 2027, you’ll help lead a major project: relocating the studio to a new facility. If you want real responsibility and room to shape a growing business, this role has it.
Schedule
- School year: Monday–Thursday afternoons/evenings (classes run 3:30–7:00pm, with admin time before) plus Saturday mornings. Roughly 30-35 hours/week, with mornings, Fridays, and Sundays free.
- School breaks (summer/winter): weekday day camps, 9:00am–3:00pm, with part-time instructors covering evening classes. Similar total hours.
Who you are
- Black belt in Taekwondo (required), with experience teaching children
- Gymnastics, tumbling, or cheer coaching experience a strong plus
- Great with kids and confident, warm, and professional with parents
- Organized and comfortable with software — experience with MindBody, Zen Planner, Jackrabbit, or similar a plus.
- Self-directed: you see what needs doing and do it
- Able to build a strong working relationship with an experienced, hands-on founder who has run this studio for decades.
- CPR/First Aid certified, or willing to certify.
- Must pass a background check (we work with children)
What we offer
- $65,000–$70,000 base salary, depending on experience and rank
- Performance bonus tied to enrollment growth. Total compensation potential $75,000–$82,000+
- Mornings free every day; Fridays and Sundays off during the school year
- Two weeks PTO plus paid sick leave
- Paid training and a full handover from our current manager
- A profitable, established studio with a strong reputation.
- Mentorship from a world-champion master instructor

Target full-time start date is mid-September, with paid part-time training beginning in July or August alongside our current manager (approximately 15 hours/week at $26/hr during the training period).
