The Role

At Fitness World, every member who walks through our doors is chasing a goal — and our Fitness Manager makes sure our team delivers the results that get them there. As FM at our Blanshard Street club, you oversee all fitness and personal training products and services at the location. You build and lead an engaged, high-performing team of Personal Trainers, set the standard for programming and coaching, carry your own roster of clients, own the club's fitness financial results and member retention, and bring our culture and values to life every day.
