Why join us

What it means to work here

01

Award-winning culture

In 2025, we were recognised with the Irish Healthcare Excellence Award for Staff Development & Retention. We invest in our coaches because they're the product. Their growth is what drives our members' results.

02

A team, not a template

We're a close-knit group of coaches who look out for each other. We communicate, collaborate, and share knowledge across six studios.

03

Real coaching, real impact

You'll build long-term relationships with members. Track their progress. See real change happen. This is what a coaching career should look like.

Inside the team

Life at EXCAPE

Six studios, one team. We train together, we learn together, and a few times a year we get everyone in the same room for a full conference day.

Our people

The kind of people we hire

01

Qualified coaches with a passion for people

QQI Level 5/6 or equivalent preferred, but attitude and aptitude matter more to us.

02

Patient, encouraging, non-judgmental

Our members include complete beginners, older adults, and people returning from injury. The ability to meet people where they are is essential.

03

Committed to their own development

We invest in our coaches. We expect them to invest in themselves.

04

Community-minded by nature

You're not just leading a session. You're building something. We want people who understand that.

Progression

Where it can go from here

For many of our coaches, progression follows a clear path: Coach to Senior Coach, and then on to Studio Manager. At each stage, we give you the support, training and responsibility to keep developing your skills and take on more.

But there are other paths too. Some of our Head Office team started their careers as coaches, bringing first-hand experience of our members and studios into roles across the business. At the same time, we deliberately hire people from a wide range of backgrounds into Head Office, bringing different skills, experiences and perspectives across areas like finance, marketing, operations, sales and corporate functions.

What brings everyone together is the same thing: a passion for health and fitness and a belief in what we are building. Wherever you want your career to go, we want to help you develop, do great work and find the path that's right for you.
