Foundry Gym is looking for a General Manager to take the reins of our Sheffield club and run it like it's their own business.

We opened Sheffield's best 24/7 gym last year — kitted out with Hammer Strength, Atlantis, Watson, Prime and Hoist, and built for everyone from first-timers to serious athletes. The club is trading, the members are in, and the foundations are strong. What it needs now is a leader to take it to the next level.

That's where you come in.

About Foundry Gym

Foundry Gym is one of the UK's fastest-growing independent fitness brands. We're not a faceless chain and we don't want to be. Every club is built around great equipment, high standards and a community that actually knows each other's names.

We're still growing — and we're looking for leaders who want to grow with us.

The role

As General Manager you own the performance of the Sheffield club end to end:

• Grow membership, drive retention and hit commercial targets
• Deliver a member experience people talk about — and come back for
• Keep operational, cleanliness and equipment standards immaculate
• Recruit, lead and develop a high-performing team
• Build real relationships across the local community, from schools and clubs to local businesses
• Set the culture: positive, energetic, no egos

About you

You're a hands-on leader who's happier on the gym floor than behind a desk. You're commercially sharp, you get a kick out of hitting numbers, and you genuinely care about the people on both sides of the counter — members and staff.

• Experience managing a gym, leisure or other customer-facing business
• A track record of hitting sales, membership or commercial targets
• Confidence leading, coaching and holding a team to a standard
• The kind of energy that lifts a room

Already a successful General Manager? Great. An ambitious Operations or Assistant Manager ready to step up? Just as interested — tell us why you're ready.

What you get

• Performance-related bonus on top
• Complimentary gym membership
• Ongoing training and development
• Genuine progression with a brand that's opening more sites
• Real autonomy — this is your club to run, not a script to follow
