ABOUT D1 TRAINING

D1 Training is a nationally recognized athletic-based training facility focused on character building, sports performance, and overall fitness for youth and adults. We’re not your average gym—we’re a team, a community, and a movement. At D1 Upper Westside Atlanta, we are committed to making fitness inspiring, fun, and accessible for all ages—from young athletes to busy professionals.

YOUR MISSION AS GENERAL MANAGER

As GM, you will be the face, voice, and energy of our gym. You’ll lead the sales strategy, inspire and manage a team of trainers and front desk staff, and make our space feel like a second home for every member who walks in.

Your #1 goal? Grow membership. Keep our community engaged. Crush turnover. And have a ton of fun while doing it.

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

• Drive Sales & Membership Growth: You live and breathe selling. You’re not afraid of a commission-based structure—because you’re THAT good. You believe every tour is a closed deal waiting to happen.
• Lead by Example: You're on the floor, greeting members by name, celebrating wins, and coaching your team with energy and intention.
• Build a High-Performing Team: Hire, train, schedule, and develop staff who share your passion for fitness and customer service excellence.
• Retain Members & Reduce Churn: You’ll implement community-building events, lead outreach efforts, and ensure every member feels seen, heard, and valued.
• Manage Daily Operations: From opening and closing procedures to inventory and scheduling, you’ll keep the gym running like a well-oiled machine.
• Deliver an Exceptional Member Experience: You’ll uphold the D1 standard of excellence in cleanliness, hospitality, and overall vibe.

WHO YOU ARE

• A natural-born leader and motivator who thrives in high-energy environments.
• A fitness industry pro with prior GM, Sales Manager, or Assistant GM experience at a gym, training facility, or boutique fitness studio.
• A sales superstar who loves building relationships and turning a "maybe" into a "YES!" (Previous sales targets met or exceeded? Tell us!)
• A community builder who gets excited about creating events, programs, and partnerships that bring people together.
• A people person who’s approachable, fun, and firm when needed. Your team respects you and your members trust you.
• A resilient multi-tasker who thrives on variety and doesn’t crumble when things get chaotic.
• Someone who understands that the gym world isn’t always 9–5 and is comfortable with flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU:

• Have experience working with youth fitness programs or sports performance training
• Have a background in athletic training, coaching, or competitive sports
• Can’t stand mediocrity and love finding ways to improve systems and processes
• Have a list of referrals from members or team members who say you changed their gym experience for the better

• Base salary + uncapped commission
• Complimentary gym membership for yourself, spouse & kids
• Opportunity to work with top-tier coaches and support youth athletic development
• Involvement in the Atlanta fitness community with a growing and mission-driven brand
• A clear growth path for those who deliver results
