Are you a results-driven leader who thrives on closing deals, building teams, and dominating sales targets—while living and breathing fitness?

We are looking for a Fitness General Manager who is not just an operator—but a revenue driver, lead-conversion expert, and culture builder. This is a leadership role for someone who can sell, coach, and lead from the front.

Why This Role Stands Out

At our facility, we don’t just train—we transform athletes and build high-performance communities. You’ll have full ownership of both business performance and member experience.

  • Commission on Sales – Direct reward for your ability to close

  • High-Performance Culture – Surrounded by driven, competitive individuals

Leadership & Team Accountability

  • Lead from the front—set the standard in energy, urgency, and execution
  • Conduct weekly 1:1s and team meetings focused on performance metrics
  • Hire, train, and develop staff to hit sales and service targets
  • Hold team accountable to KPIs, conversion rates, and member experience

Operations & Business Management

  • Own P&L performance, budgeting, and expense control

  • Manage membership billing, retention strategies, and reporting

  • Ensure every interaction drives value, results, and retention

Who You Are

You are competitive, numbers-driven, and obsessed with winning—both in fitness and in business.

Required Experience

  • Sales Killer Instinct – You know how to close and aren’t afraid of the phone
  • Proven Close Rate – Demonstrated ability to hit 50% conversion rates
  • 3 Years Leadership Experience – Managing teams and driving accountability
  • Fitness Industry Background – Deep understanding of training environments
  • Coaching/Training Experience – You’ve been on the floor, not just behind a desk
  • Business Acumen – Comfortable managing P&L, KPIs, and growth strategy
  • Education – Associate degree or higher

  • Relentless follow-up mentality
  • High urgency and competitive mindset
  • Strong communication and influence skills
  • Willingness to work Saturdays
