You are someone who thrives on helping others succeed and enjoys seeing people grow — both personally and professionally. You have a natural ability to connect with people, inspire confidence, and build strong relationships with members and team members alike. You are adaptable, proactive, and motivated to make an impact, whether it’s supporting a team, improving a club’s operations, or creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and empowered.

You are organised and confident handling both the operational and people-focused aspects of a gym, from reporting and budgets to training and developing high-performing teams. You embrace challenges, take ownership of your work, and are excited by opportunities to learn and grow your leadership, sales, and marketing skills. Most importantly, you believe in creating positive experiences every day and understand the influence you have in shaping a culture where people back themselves and achieve their potential.
