The Opportunity 

This is not just a job—it's a career-defining leadership pathway.

We are seeking an exceptional operational leader who is equally comfortable with commercial performance and connecting with children and families. As a Gym Director (In-Training), you will complete a structured 6 to 9-month intensive training program mentored directly by our Gym Leader. You will master our operating systems, revenue model, brand standards, and people processes before fully stepping into the Gym Director role—where you will own the business performance of our branch.

If you love working with children, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and have the commercial acumen to drive growth, this is your opportunity to build a meaningful career with a global brand that makes a real difference.

Key Responsibilities 

• Operations & Revenue Management: Drive quarterly revenue targets, monthly enrolled/paid (E&P) member growth, intro-visit (IV) scheduling, and retention rates. Monitor weekly sub-KPIs (enrolments, cancellations, collections) and proactively pivot strategies to close performance gaps. Present data-driven performance reviews to the Gym Leader. 
• Class Delivery & Floor Leadership: Spend ~50% of working hours delivering Gold-standard classes and driving lobby/member engagement. Use floor time to model exceptional service, build parent relationships, and identify real-time sales opportunities. You're not just managing from the office—you're leading from the floor. 
• Team Leadership & HR: Build a high-accountability culture where excellence is the standard. Oversee all gym staffing, conduct mid-year and year-end performance reviews, and ensure every team member has a career development plan with corresponding training actions. Partner with the Gym Leader and HR on recruitment, retention, and employee relations. 
• Admin, Sales & Mall Relations: Oversee operating software accuracy, account collections, local sales execution, and maintain facility standards with shopping mall management. 
• Performance Reporting: Lead weekly operational tracking and present monthly and quarterly performance reviews to the Gym Leader.
