About the Role

Anytime Fitness Barrington is looking for a motivated, business-minded Fitness Manager / Personal Trainer who is passionate about fitness, sales, leadership, and helping grow a successful business.

This position begins as a part-time personal training role with a 90-day introductory and performance review period. During this initial period, the primary focus will be on establishing yourself as a successful trainer, building a client base, delivering exceptional member experiences, demonstrating strong sales and communication skills, and learning our systems and standards.

At the end of the 90-day period, we'll conduct a formal performance review to evaluate your progress, consistency, client results, sales performance, initiative, and overall fit for increased responsibility. Strong performance can create opportunities to take on additional leadership responsibilities and progress toward a full-time Fitness Manager or other leadership position.

Advancement is performance-based and not automatic . We're looking for someone who earns increased responsibility by consistently demonstrating that they can produce results, take ownership, and contribute to the success of the club.

This role combines personal training, member engagement, sales, and business development. You'll coach clients, build lasting relationships, grow the personal training program, and help increase membership through exceptional service and strong lead conversion.

What We Can Do for You

We're not just looking for someone to fill a position. We're looking for someone we can develop into a leader.

If you're growth-minded and interested in building a long-term career in the fitness industry, this role provides the opportunity to develop skills far beyond personal training. You'll gain hands-on experience in sales, leadership, business development, client retention, marketing, team management, and day-to-day gym operations.

You'll work closely with management, learn how a successful fitness business operates, take ownership of projects, and have opportunities to put your ideas into action.

For the right person, the path can look something like:

Part-Time Personal Trainer → Increased Responsibility → Fitness Manager → Full-Time Leadership

That progression is based on performance, initiative, leadership ability, and business results.

We're especially interested in people who want to build something rather than simply clock in and clock out. If you have ambitions to become a Fitness Manager, General Manager, Regional Leader, or eventually operate your own fitness business, this can be a strong environment to develop the skills and experience needed to get there.

Your growth matters to us. We want to invest in people who are willing to invest in themselves.

What Success Looks Like in Your First 90 Days

During your introductory period, you'll be expected to:

• Build and maintain a consistent personal training schedule

• Deliver high-quality training sessions and exceptional client experiences

• Build strong relationships with members and prospective clients

• Actively participate in lead follow-up and personal training sales

• Demonstrate the ability to convert consultations into paying clients

• Generate opportunities through referrals, outreach, and member engagement

• Maintain accurate client records and follow club systems and procedures

• Communicate professionally and consistently with members and management

• Be dependable, punctual, organized, and prepared

• Take initiative without needing to be constantly directed

• Learn and execute Anytime Fitness systems, standards, and processes

• Contribute ideas and demonstrate a willingness to take ownership

• Show measurable improvement throughout the 90-day period

The goal of the first 90 days is simple: prove that you're ready for more.

If you demonstrate strong performance, consistency, leadership potential, and a genuine desire to contribute to the business, we'll discuss opportunities to expand your responsibilities and continue your career progression with the club.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct fitness consultations, assessments, and goal-setting sessions
