Assistant General Manager

Your role is to drive the culture of your gym. You're the person who makes a first-time guest feel welcome, helps them see what's possible, and guides them to the membership that fits their goals. Side by side with our General Manager, you'll build and coach a team that makes every visit feel motivating and real. This is our path to General Manager, and we promote within across all locations in Washington and Oregon.

Benefits include opportunity for advancement, training & development, and employee discounts.

• You're comfortable with gym or POS software, email, and scheduling tools
• You can work a mix of mornings, evenings, weekends, and some holidays
