Jaybird Studios & Lagree West

Senior Accountant

About Us

Lagree West and Jaybird are sister brands, providing two different ways to move under one shared operating philosophy.

Lagree West offers high-intensity, low-impact, Pilates-inspired classes that build strength and flexibility. We're known for exceptional instruction, a strong mind-to-muscle connection, and warm service that feels personal. You’ll find us in seven studios across Vancouver and Victoria.

Jaybird is a mindful, music-driven experience in a heated infrared room, lit by candlelight. With four studios in Vancouver and Toronto, our Pilates- and Yoga-inspired classes invite you to be present, move with intention, and feel yourself on a deeper level.

Our Team

Joining our team means helping create the kind of experience people look forward to all day. We care about how guests feel in the room, how we support each other, and how we show up every shift. We hold ourselves to a high standard and take pride in delivering consistent excellence, from the first hello to the last stretch.

Our values of Creating Amazement, Growth Mindset, and Pure Connection shape how we show up for guests and for each other. They’re the standard we hold, the way we lead, and the reason our studios feel the way they do.
