ABOUT YOU

A genuine passion for fitness is non-negotiable. This is a business built on sales, retention, service and community, not simply memberships and machines. You will bring multi-site leadership experience, robust commercial instincts and proven capability across P&L;, project delivery and people leadership. Experience within fitness, health, leisure, hospitality or another membership-based business will be highly regarded.

You will not need to be the loudest person in the room. You will be the one who brings clarity, keeps multiple priorities on track and move from strategy to execution, challenge respectfully, make tough calls and hold people accountable.
