Job description

Role: Regional Fitness Manager (South)

Salary: £45k + Quarterly Bonus (KPI dependent) + £4,500 Car Allowance

Location: Field Based (South)

There is nothing better than getting your hands on a brand new role and making it entirely your own. We have just created a Regional Fitness Manager position covering our clubs across the South, and we need a brilliant, creative fitness powerhouse to take the reins.

If your current regional role is just staring at spreadsheets and policing timetables, keep reading. We need someone who actually wants to build something from scratch.

The Role Outline: Your Week at a Glance

You will be covering our brilliant Leisure Clubs across the South, earning a highly competitive basic salary backed up by a juicy quarterly bonus based on hitting your KPIs, plus a £4,500 car allowance. This is a highly visible, field-based role. You will be out on the road at least three days a week, getting onto the gym floors and into the studios to support our teams right where the action happens. Multi-site experience is highly preferred because you need to know exactly how to manage a busy diary and motivate different management teams.

Why Village?

At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality and genuine connections. We back our teams to take ownership, and we actively want your ideas. If you have the commercial grit to drive Personal Training revenue and the emotional intelligence to inspire a room full of instructors, we will give you the total autonomy to make this new role a massive success.

Your Remit: What You Will Actually Be Doing

• First: The Field Delivery & Education. You will be out in your clubs a minimum of three days a week. You will teach, audit, and assess to presenter level across everything from Les Mills and HIIT to indoor cycle and Mind & Body. You are there to upskill our Fitness Managers and PTs to deliver an absolute masterclass in coaching.
• Second: The Creative Engine. You will have a massive say in designing and building our bespoke Village training programmes through programme creation and development. We want your creativity. You need to keep your finger firmly on the pulse of industry trends and bring fresh, modern group exercise and PT concepts to the table. You will even help create engaging social media content and choreograph new quarterly launches.
• Third: The Commercial Impact. You will partner with our National Fitness Manager to ensure every class you assess and every PT you mentor actually drives our commercial targets. You will protect the budget, achieve national Personal Training session targets, and ensure we smash our Net Promoter Scores across the South.

Selling Our Benefits

• Health & Wealth: A solid Aviva Pension Scheme, complimentary full leisure club membership for you and a friend, a monthly wellbeing programme, and an Employee Assistance Programme.
• Hotel Stays: Discounted stays from £20 based on two sharing across our 34 properties.
• Food & Drink: 50% discount on Food and Drink purchased on or off shift at any Village Hotel, plus 75% off Sunday dinner for up to 6 people.
• Friends & Family: 2 friends or family members get 25% off F&B, even when you are not there.
• Financial & Extras: Financial wellbeing support via Wagestream, High Street discounts, an Electric car salary sacrifice scheme, and your birthday off guaranteed.

Ready to Build the Culture?

We are looking for a natural leader with serious energy. You need to know the fitness industry inside out, hold the right qualifications like your Level 3 Personal Training, and possess the confidence to walk into any club and instantly lift the room.

Bring your creativity, your drive, and your brilliant ideas.
