About MIRA Wellness Club
MIRA is a new premium wellness and recovery club opening in Chennai in December 2026. It is the first club of its kind in India to bring a full gym, pilates studio, physiotherapy, sauna, cold plunge, recovery treatments, and a café into one space.
The club is for working professionals in Chennai who want to take care of their fitness, recovery, and overall health in one place. MIRA plans to open a network of premium luxury clubs in all major cities in India over the next ten years.
The facility
Location Chamiers Road, Nandanam, Chennai
Size 11,000 to 12,000 square feet across multiple floors
Programs offered
Strength and conditioning gym
Pilates studio
Physiotherapy
Sauna and cold plunge
Recovery treatments (IV drip, NAD+, blood work) through partner vendors
Café and light food (operated by a partner)
The team
The Chennai club will have approximately 15 to 20 staff members directly employed by MIRA when fully operational. This includes:
Front desk and member services
Trainers (gym, pilates, physiotherapy)
Recovery and wellness attendants
Housekeeping
Sales and community
Admin and back office
In addition to the directly employed team, the club has partner-operated staff for the café and recovery treatments. You will coordinate with these partner teams day-to-day, but they are not on MIRA's payroll.
What you will do
You will work closely with the founder. The founder owns the brand, vendor selection, and all major operational decisions. Your role is to support the founder in setting up the club, and then to run the daily operations once the club opens.
This is a founding employee role at MIRA Wellness Club. Assuming performance meets expectations, the role will graduate to become part of the MIRA corporate team, where you will train and support future operations directors and general managers as MIRA expands to other cities.
Before opening (August 2026 to December 2026)
Help write the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for every part of the club. The founder leads this; you draft and document.
Help hire the team. You run the screening process. The founder makes the final hiring decisions.
Help onboard partner vendors. The founder selects and negotiates with vendors. You handle the day-to-day coordination and integration into the club.
Help design the member experience, from how members are greeted at the front desk to how they move through the club. The founder leads the design; you support and execute.
After opening (from December 2026 onwards)
Run the day-to-day operations of the club.
Manage and supervise the full staff team.
Handle member complaints and escalations directly. Pass the harder ones to the founder.
Track monthly profit and loss against budget. Report to the founder every month.
Make sure partner vendors are meeting service standards.
Schedule trainers, classes, and treatments.
Run the soft-launch period (invite-only weeks before public open).
