Gym Manager, Ripley WV

Anytime Fitness is seeking a highly motivated individual with a passion for helping others improve their lives through health and fitness. Industry experience is not required, but first-rate people skills and a self-motivated work ethic are!

A perfect applicant will be available for flexible hours, be a team leader, have a passion for health and fitness, and most importantly, be a great representative of our brand. To be considered for this position, you must be a high-energy self-starter, have an extroverted personality, be a good motivator/coach, and enjoy sales, marketing, and building great culture in the gym.

Important: If you are uncomfortable doing sales or calling complete strangers on the phone and asking them to stop in to see our gym, this is not the position or industry for you.

Compensation and Benefits

• Compensation for this position is a base salary plus commission and bonuses. If you are uncomfortable having part of your compensation based on performance, this position is not for you.  

• Group Health Insurance

• PTO

• Retirement Plan

• Free gym membership for employee and spouse

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Membership Sales — We use a proven system that helps our guests overcome their own roadblocks to starting a fitness program. When used correctly, this system doesn't feel like sales at all. 

• Club Promotional Marketing — We love creative "guerilla" type marketing. We do use traditional marketing strategies (television, radio, newspaper, direct mail, etc.), but we really prefer the creative stuff like utilizing social media platforms. A good understanding of how to use social media is a must.

• Community Involvement — We love being a part of the local community. There are countless opportunities to get outside the club and promote our business. We actively participate in the local Chamber of Commerce and community-sponsored events.

• Networking / Employee Wellness — We work with a network of local and national employers and insurance companies that try to encourage their employees to lead healthier lifestyles. Making contacts is the first step—then we work to find a solution that helps everyone.

• Team Building — Leading a team and driving results through motivation and fun is a key component to ensure success in the position. Your core team consists of personal trainers, membership sales, and part time staff.

• Member Experience — The most important aspect of all! Does your club rock? Do your members love you? Do they like the environment you create inside the gym? Are they inspired to share their experience with friends, family, and coworkers? We pride ourselves on providing top-notch customer service and aim to make each member's and guest's experience exceptional! Do you have this effect on people?

Staffed Hours:

• Monday - Thursday 10am - 7pm, Friday 9:00am - 5 pm, occasional Saturdays (seasonal)
