What are the responsibilities and job description for the Marketing Director position at Club Pilates?
MARKETING DIRECTOR - CLUB PILATES OF NORTH HOUSTON / TMCP FITNESS INTERNATIONAL
Location: Houston, Texas (Full-Time, In-Office)
THE OPPORTUNITY
Club Pilates of North Houston (CPNH) is one of the top-performing Club Pilates operators in the United States, with multiple studios consistently ranking among the highest in Texas and nationally. CPNH has been recognized as a 2025 Inc. 5000 award winner and a 2026 Inc. 5000 Top 100 Southwest Region honoree, reflecting its rapid growth, operational excellence, and market leadership.
TMCP Fitness International is the Master Franchisee for Club Pilates across six European countries (France, Ireland, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Monaco), responsible for scaling the brand internationally through franchise development, operational excellence, and brand leadership.
Together, CPNH and TMCP represent a unique platform that combines:
Best-in-class domestic studio operations
