Position Summary

The Regional Personal Training Manager (RPTM) directly oversees the personal training operations, financial metrics, and talent development across a dedicated district of up to 5 clubs. In this role, you bypass club-level PT middle management to work directly with the Club Manager of each location and lead the Personal Trainers on the floor.

You will partner hand-in-hand with each Club Manager to drive PT revenue, maximize client retention, and build a high-performing culture. Your primary focus is running the department regionally by personally mentoring, training, and holding the personal training staff accountable to high standards of execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Direct Trainer Leadership & Onboarding: Oversee the recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and continuous skill development of all Personal Trainers within your district.
  • Club Manager Partnership: Partner closely with each location's Club Manager to align PT sales goals with overall gym operations, ensuring the front desk and fitness teams work seamlessly together.
  • Sales Strategy & Floor Execution: Drive personal training revenue and new member training unit conversion rates by spending time on the gym floor-coaching trainers on client acquisition, lead generation, and high-impact assessment strategies.
  • Performance Coaching: Consistently monitor individual trainer metrics, KPI goals, and client retention numbers. Work directly with trainers to build actionable performance plans and step in immediately to address underperformance.
  • Operational Integrity & Compliance: Audit day-to-day functions of the personal training teams. Ensure all programs utilize proper tracking systems (session package tracking, renewal pipelines, and lead flow management).
  • Quality & Environment Control: Foster an engaging, safe, productive, and inviting workout environment. Verify that all club trainers maintain current, nationally accredited certifications and follow strict company health and safety protocols.

Candidate Profile & Requirements

  • Experience: Minimum of 3 years of proven management or leadership experience within a "big-box" gym or high-volume multi-unit fitness environment. Direct experience coaching individual trainers and driving personal training sales is required.
  • Business Acumen: Strong ability to read the numbers, analyze financial results, and partner effectively with Club Managers to pull the right operational levers to maximize profitability.
  • Hands-On Leadership: A proven history of motivating, influencing, and developing frontline staff. You thrive on being on the fitness floor, building authentic relationships, and teaching trainers how to build a sustainable business.
  • Education & Credentials:
    • High School Diploma or GED required (Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science or related field preferred).
    • Current, nationally recognized Personal Training Certification (e.g., NASM, ACE, NSCA, ACSM).
    • Valid CPR/AED Certification.

What We Offer

  • Uncapped Earning Potential: Highly competitive base salary enhanced by a lucrative performance commission structure and quarterly KPI bonuses.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: ICHRA Health Care Reimbursement
  • Work-Life Balance: Generous Paid Time Off (PTO), 401(k) matching programs, and flexible scheduling.
  • Perks: Free Premium Crunch Fitness Executive Membership, employee discounts on retail and services, and continuous corporate leadership development opportunities.
