Are you a sales-driven professional who thrives on closing deals, motivating teams, and helping people transform their lives through fitness? We’re looking for a Sales Manager who knows how to sell high-ticket personal training packages, drive results, and lead from the front inside a fast-paced, high-energy training facility.

This role isn’t just about memberships — it’s about consultative, high-impact sales that change lives. You’ll own the full sales funnel, from generating leads and booking appointments to overcoming objections and closing high-ticket personal training packages.

What You’ll Do

Drive Revenue & Close High-Ticket Sales

  • Sell personal training packages and memberships, consistently meeting and exceeding monthly revenue targets.

  • Run consultative sales appointments focused on needs analysis and emotional connection, achieving at a minimum 50% close rate.

  • Own the entire sales funnel — lead generation, appointment setting, follow-up, and closing.

  • Implement scripts, objection handling, and follow-up strategies that maximize conversion.

Lead, Train & Motivate

  • Train and mentor trainers and front desk staff on sales psychology, presentation, and follow-up techniques.

  • Lead from the front — set the standard for professionalism, energy, and accountability.

  • Host daily or weekly huddles to review metrics, motivate the team, and reinforce closing strategies.

Marketing & Lead Generation

  • Partner with ownership to build and execute local lead generation campaigns.

  • Manage outreach to schools, youth programs, and local businesses to grow brand awareness.

  • Use social media, referral programs, and community events to fill your pipeline.

Business Reporting & Performance

  • Track, analyze, and report KPIs: leads, appointments, closes, and average package size.

  • Collaborate with ownership on pricing, promotions, and sales strategy.

  • Maintain accurate records in the CRM to ensure every lead is nurtured and followed up with.

Who You Are

  • 3 years of fitness sales experience with a proven record of selling high-ticket personal training packages.

  • Background in fitness — understands the mindset, motivation, and value of coaching.

  • Confident, driven, and resilient — loves the chase and the close.

  • Experienced in using gym management or CRM software (MindBody, ClubReady, ZenPlanner, etc.).

  • Excellent communicator who can inspire action and build long-term relationships.

  • Organized, accountable, and thrives in a fast-paced, performance-based environment.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Income Potential: Base uncapped commissions bonuses ($50,000–$80,000 depending on results)

  • Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and PTO

  • Perks: Complimentary gym membership

  • Career Growth: Opportunity to advance into multi-unit leadership or GM roles

  • Culture: Positive, team-oriented, and performance-driven — where winners thrive
