YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL

Base pay is just the starting point. Our Club Managers earn a competitive base salary of $35,000-$50,000 — but the real opportunity is in performance bonuses. Our best managers consistently earn $60,000-$70,000 or more by hitting membership and training sales goals. The harder you work, the more you make — there's no ceiling.

If you're motivated by performance and want a role where your paycheck reflects your effort, this is it.

THE OPPORTUNITY

At Anytime Fitness, our Club Managers are the heartbeat of the gym. You'll lead a tight-knit team, build real relationships in your community, and directly impact both members' lives and club revenue. This is a front-of-house sales and leadership role — equal parts people-person, sales driver, and fitness ambassador. If you thrive when you're talking to people, hitting goals, and creating an environment others can't stop raving about, this is your seat.

What You’ll Do

• Membership & Training Sales – Qualify leads, overcome objections, and convert prospects into members using a proven, relationship-first system. This is where you'll have the biggest impact on your bonus earnings — and on people's lives.
• Lead Group Training – Spend roughly one-third of your time energizing clients through pre-designed group workouts, modifying exercises for all fitness levels, and ensuring safe technique using heart rate monitors.
• Market the Club – Build B2B relationships, run community outreach, and get creative with guerrilla marketing and social media campaigns. We prefer creative over conventional — TV and radio are the backup plan.
• Build & Lead Your Team – Hire, train, and inspire personal trainers and part-time staff to deliver a consistently exceptional member experience and work as a cohesive unit.
• Own the Member Experience – Create a club culture so strong that members become your best recruiters — talking you up to friends, family, and coworkers. Top‑notch customer service is non‑negotiable.
• Manage Club Operations – Keep the club clean, safe, and fully operational at all times. Hold your team accountable to daily checklists, safety standards, and equipment maintenance.

YOU'RE A GREAT FIT IF YOU…

• Are naturally outgoing and love building relationships with new people
• Are driven by goals and excited to earn more when you exceed them
• Are genuinely passionate about health, fitness, and helping others
• Can coach, motivate, and hold a small team accountable
• Take initiative and work independently without needing constant direction
• Are available for flexible hours, including Saturdays during peak season (October–March)

Requirements

• 18+ years old with a high school diploma minimum
• Bachelor's or associate's degree in an exercise‑related field strongly preferred
• Sales experience preferred — or a genuine drive to learn and excel at it
• Leadership or management experience is a plus
• Strong communication, time management, and interpersonal skills
• Ability to safely lift up to 50 lbs and perform duties in a gym environment

A WORD OF HONESTY

A significant part of this role involves outbound sales — including calling prospects and inviting them to visit the club. If you're uncomfortable with that, this role isn't the right fit. But if you love connecting with people and find purpose in helping someone take their first step toward a healthier life, you'll find our approach feels less like selling and more like coaching.

Benefits

• Base salary $35,000-$50,000 + uncapped monthly performance bonuses
• Top performers consistently earn $60,000-$70,000+
• Health benefits (HRA) for qualified employees
• Paid time off + holiday pay
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Tuition assistance toward NASM Personal Training Certification
• Free gym membership
• Uniforms provided; fitness casual dress code
• Real growth and development opportunities within the company
