What We Expect From You

We are looking for a motivated, energetic leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about helping kids grow.
This is not a typical 9-to-5 job. As the General Manager of a KidStrong center, you are the leader and driving force behind its success. While the schedule includes designated days off, true ownership means being present when needed—whether to support your team, engage with members, or seize opportunities to grow the center. The most successful GMs take pride in their role, embracing the flexibility and commitment required to build something great

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a team to create a positive, energetic, and successful environment for coaches and members.
• Oversee sales, operations, and customer experience to drive growth and retention.
• Work closely with the Assistant GM to ensure smooth center operations.
• Engage with the community and grow class sizes through scheduling and marketing strategies.
• Lead from the front by coaching 3-5 classes per week.
• Recruit, hire, and train new coaches while ensuring program excellence.
• Maintain a clean, organized facility with a "roll up your sleeves" mentality.

Who We’re Looking For

• 1-3+ years of experience in management, sales, customer service, or operations.
• Background in children’s programming, fitness, education, or athletics is a plus.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to motivate, engage, and inspire staff and members.
• Must be available to work weekends —as a General Manager, you are the owner of your center.

Certifications Required (can be obtained post-hire):

• CPR Certification
• First Aid Certification
• EpiPen Certification

Physical Requirements

• Ability to be active and energetic throughout the day.
• Comfortable demonstrating physical activities and coaching kids.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds when needed.
