Job description

Lead a Coaching Team. Shape Young Lives. Build a Gym That Matters.

We’re hiring a Gym Manager to run the show — from day-to-day operations to developing junior coaches and building meaningful relationships with families.

If you’re organised, people-oriented, and passionate about children’s movement-based learning (ages 4–12), this is your chance to lead with impact.

About the Organisation

This is a well-established children's fitness academy offering structured, obstacle-based movement programmes (parkour, gymnastics) to primary school-aged kids.

The work is high-touch, fast-paced, and deeply mission-driven. Your role? Own the gym, coach when needed, guide your team, and ensure everything runs like clockwork — from parent comms to lesson flow to admin ops.

Key Responsibilities

Operations & People Management

• Oversee daily gym operations, bookings, admin, and logistics
• Lead, support, and coach a team of junior coaches
• Step in to teach classes (ages 4–12) when needed
• Ensure safe, high-quality delivery and positive class transitions

Programme Delivery & Quality

• Guide the team in delivering consistent curriculum experiences
• Develop class plans and support lesson execution
• Review and refine class offerings, feedback loops, and SOPs

Parent Engagement & Customer Service

• Communicate with parents professionally and warmly
• Manage feedback, resolve concerns, and build trust
• Support retention through relationship-building and quality care

Admin & Business Ops

• Manage class bookings, staff rosters, trial classes, and payments
• Track attendance, scheduling, and revenue milestones
• Liaise with external vendors when required
• Coordinate with HQ on system updates and process improvement

Centre Growth & Community Partnerships

• Identify new opportunities for outreach and programme enhancement
• Build school and community partnerships where relevant
• Support localised marketing initiatives and open house events

We’re Looking For Someone With

• At least 2–3 years’ experience in gym or centre management, ideally in a children’s coaching or sports movement setting
• Hands-on leadership experience — you’re not afraid to jump in and coach
• Strong team management, admin, and customer engagement skills
• Proven ability to manage both ops and people
• Experience with youth sports, early childhood fitness, gymnastics, or similar
• Warm, calm, and confident communicator — especially with parents

Nice to Have (Bonus)

• Background in gymnastics, parkour, or related sports
• Familiarity with class management tools and backend systems
• CPR / First Aid certified (or willing to obtain)
• Experience working with children with diverse learning profiles

Work Schedule

This is a 5-day work week, consisting of:

• 3 weekdays: 9:30am – 6:30pm (includes 1-hour lunch break)
• Saturdays & Sundays: 9:00am – 6:30pm

Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll lead with purpose and shape the future of youth fitness
• Be part of a close-knit, mission-led team culture
• Grow your leadership skills while staying close to the ground
• Direct impact on kids, families, and the next generation of coaches

Application Process

This role is represented by First Konnection (EA Reg No: R23111820 / EA Licence No: 22C1307).
Apply now if you’re excited to take full ownership of a gym and grow with a brand that makes a real difference.
