Inside Sales Representative

Company Description

Marathon Fitness is one of the largest independently owned distributors of heavy commercial fitness equipment in the United States. Headquartered in Stafford, Texas, we serve the entire markets of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona representing industry leaders such as Peloton, Precor, Escape Fitness, NuStep, and Eleiko. We are not just selling fitness equipment — we are building performance environments for corporations, universities, luxury housing communities, hospitality groups, first responders, and elite athletic programs.  The fitness industry continues to grow and evolve across corporate wellness, luxury housing, universities, hospitality, and first responders. Entering our 23rd year in business, Marathon Fitness is positioned at the center of that growth.

Why This Role is Different

This is more than an inside sales position. It is a career-launching opportunity designed for driven professionals who can grow into an Outside Sales Representative role within our organization.

You’ll work directly alongside our experienced outside sales team, learn about our markets inside and out, and gain hands-on exposure to the full sales cycle — from prospecting to project execution. High performers will have a clear pathway to transition into field sales and manage their own territories.
