What are the responsibilities and job description for the Inbound Lead position at REP Fitness?
About REP
REP designs world-class, innovative gym equipment that is sold around the world, and we are now expanding into apparel, supplements, athletes, and events. REP was established in 2012 by two brothers who shared a deep passion for fitness. From our humble beginnings of selling bumper plates out of a small garage, REP has experienced remarkable growth, now occupying over 300,000 square feet of office and distribution space in the USA and internationally. With a dedicated team of over 180 fitness enthusiasts, our mission is to "Improve Lives by Sharing our Passion for Strength." Our commitment to innovation, customer service, and value sets us apart.
We believe in building a culture centered around fitness, so we specialize in outfitting home gyms, commercial gyms, and strength and conditioning facilities. Our dedication to excellence has been recognized many times – as one of Inc. 5000’s fastest-growing private companies; as Newsweek’s Reader’s Choice Best Exercise Equipment Brand; and as the most popular brand in the home gym market (with cost in mind) by Garage Gym Experiment. From Men’s Health to Self.com, Garage Gym Reviews, and Men’s Journal, REP’s products are consistently named the best in their class. We also boast impressive partnerships, such as providing F45’s functional racks worldwide. Our team works out together, and we regularly invite fitness superstars to join us. We organize fun challenges to test our limits – and the limits of our equipment.
At REP, we continue to grow and bring new opportunities for those who want to be a part of a winning team. We firmly believe that being surrounded by like-minded individuals fuels creative energy and fosters a fun and collaborative work environment.
This role is based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Carlisle is considered one of the best places to live in Pennsylvania, and USA Today even nominated it as one of the Best Historic Small Towns in 2022. Carlisle is also a history lover’s dream, as it played a significant role in the Revolutionary War. Amid this charming town, the REP kitchen is always stocked with healthy snacks, energy drinks, and protein. This is not a remote position and requires you to work in the office five days a week (but that endless stream of healthy treats in a supportive and fun environment makes this office experience a reward, in and of itself).
