If you’re passionate about building high‑performing teams, driving results, and fostering an environment where personal fitness is at the core of success, we want to hear from you!

This role is pivotal in ensuring that Fitness World continues to grow sustainably by supporting both our Membership Sales and Personal Training teams, driving membership net growth, and ensuring that new members are set up for long‑term success.

You will bring a proven track record in consultative sales, leadership, and team development, along with a passion for fitness and a focus on operational excellence. This position requires regular travel within the district, as well as collaboration with cross‑functional teams to achieve overall company goals.

  • Data‑Driven Decisions : Utilize key performance metrics to monitor sales activity, track progress, and identify opportunities for improvement. Oversee monthly, quarterly, and annual sales budgets and help implement corrective action when needed.
  • Member Experience : Ensure all new members are provided with a smooth, supportive induction process and are set up to meet their fitness goals from day one. Address customer service issues promptly and professionally, identifying trends for continuous improvement.
  • Collaboration with Cross‑Functional Teams : Work closely with the Fitness, Sales, Member Experience, and Repairs & Maintenance departments to ensure alignment and to drive company‑wide success.
  • Compliance & Standards : Ensure adherence to company policies, safety protocols, and operational standards. Manage labor costs and scheduling efficiently across all departments.
  • Leadership Development : Be a hands‑on leader in the clubs, providing on‑the‑ground coaching to General Managers and fostering an environment of growth and professional development.
  • Reporting & Administration : Ensure timely and accurate completion of reconciliations, commission logs, deposits, and other administrative tasks. Prepare and present performance reports to senior leadership.

What We’re Looking For

  • Leadership Experience : Proven experience in a district or multi‑location management role, ideally in the fitness, retail, or service industry. You’ve led teams to success in competitive environments and know how to inspire results.
  • Sales Expertise : A strong background in consultative sales, with a focus on membership growth, retention, and achieving financial targets.
  • Fitness Passion : A genuine enthusiasm for health, wellness, and fitness. You understand the importance of supporting members in achieving their fitness goals and creating a positive, inclusive environment.
