We're looking for a passionate, strategic leader to serve as our next Healthy Living Director. In this role, you will oversee all wellness operations—including group fitness, personal training, and community health programs—while designing initiatives that bridge the gap between fitness and public health.

Grow Programs and Services – Expand group fitness, personal training, and evidence-based health offerings.
Build Strategic Partnerships – Collaborate with hospitals, health agencies, and local leaders to bring holistic health resources to the Y.
Drive Engagement and Innovation – Launch wellness challenges, educational events, and creative member experiences.
Oversee Excellence – Ensure safety, quality, and hospitality in every aspect of our wellness spaces.
Manage Budgets and Outcomes – Lead with data and purpose—track progress, manage finances, and celebrate results.
Model Our Core Values – Live out Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility in everything you do.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You're a wellness advocate with a deep belief in health equity and accessibility.
You hold a Bachelor's (or ideally, a Master's) in Public Health, Health Promotion, Exercise Science, or related field.
You have 3+ years of experience in wellness leadership—personal training, fitness, or community health.
You hold a current CPR/AED certification. A nationally recognized Personal Training or Group Exercise certification is preferred.
You're a strategic thinker, inspiring communicator, and inclusive leader.
You love building systems and relationships that make people stronger—inside and out.
