Help us build a excellent member experience – and the structure behind it.

Fitness Edge is looking for an experienced and capable Assistant Fitness Centre Manager to help lead the day-to-day operations of our Fitness Centre and support our Swim School operations.

This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who enjoys being part of the action but also sees the bigger picture.

We are looking for someone who can bring structure, consistency and follow-through to daily operations. You'll help establish clear routines, workflows and accountabilities so our team knows what needs to happen, who owns it and how we make sure it gets done.

Working closely with the Centre Manager, you'll provide visible leadership to our team, support a great member experience and help ensure our Fitness Centre and Swim School operate safely, efficiently and consistently.

What you'll be doing

You'll have a broad operational and leadership remit, including:

Overseeing day‑to‑day Fitness Centre operations and supporting Swim School operations

Building and maintaining practical daily and weekly operating routines, workflows, handovers and task allocation

Creating greater consistency and accountability across day‑to‑day operations

Providing visible leadership, direction and support to Fitness Centre and Swim School staff

Identifying operational gaps and implementing practical solutions rather than simply working around them

Supporting rostering, shift coverage and timesheet processes

Responding promptly and professionally to member enquiries, feedback and complaints





Maintaining strong knowledge of our operating and membership systems and supporting staff with troubleshooting

Ensuring incidents, hazards and maintenance issues are reported accurately and promptly through our ERM system

Following up reported issues, escalating where required and ensuring actions are taken through to closure

Ensuring daily WHS and operational checks are completed accurately

Coordinating maintenance requests and following up outstanding work

Overseeing pool water testing and associated documentation

Supporting pool plant maintenance management and safe facility operations

Inducting, coaching and developing team members

Supporting the Centre Manager and acting in the role when required

The person we're looking for

You don't need to be someone who wants to sit behind a desk managing the operation from a distance.

We're looking for a leader who is visible, organised and practical. Someone who can work alongside the team, recognise when something isn't working and then put a sensible process around it.

You'll be comfortable creating structure where it is needed and, importantly, helping people adopt that structure.

You'll bring:





Certificate IV in Fitness and current Fitness Australia/FITREC registration

Current Working with Children Check

At least five years' experience in the fitness industry

Demonstrated leadership experience

Strong organisational and problem‑solving skills

Demonstrated ability to develop and implement practical operational systems, routines and procedures

The ability to create accountability and follow through on actions

Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

Sound knowledge of gym operations and fitness programming

Experience with pool water testing and an understanding of pool plant systems

Experience in Swim School or aquatic operations, membership systems, WHS systems, contractor management or SOP development would be highly regarded.
