Fitness Manager (South Australia)
Build and lead the PT & Group Fitness engine of an 9,000sqm flagship facility. Own performance, team and results in a true leadership role.
Fitness Manager – PT & Group Fitness
Flagship Facility | Elizabeth, SA | Full-Time
We’re looking for a Fitness Manager to take full ownership of Personal Training and Group Fitness inside a flagship, large-scale training environment, a facility designed to operate at a level most clubs never reach.
This is where performance, programming, and people come together, and it needs a leader who knows how to turn all three into results.
The Opportunity
Build a fitness offering that people don’t just attend, they commit to.
You will be responsible for:
A Personal Training business that generates consistent, scalable revenue
A Group Fitness ecosystem that drives energy, utilisation, and retention
A team of coaches and instructors who deliver at a high standard, every day
This is a hands-on leadership role with real accountability.
You will be on the floor, in the numbers, and across the detail.
Where You’ll Make Your Impact
Personal Training
This is a revenue centre, not a side offering.
Build and lead a team of Personal Trainers from the ground up
Drive PT penetration, client retention, and overall revenue performance
Coach trainers on sales, lead generation, and client delivery
Set clear expectations, standards, and accountability
Group Fitness
This is about experience, utilisation, and consistency.
Create a timetable that reflects both demand and performance
Oversee a diverse mix of training styles including strength, conditioning, and Pilates-based formats
Recruit and develop high-quality instructors
Ensure every class delivers energy, structure, and member engagement
Team & Culture
You set the tone.
Build a team that is visible, engaged, and accountable
Create a culture where performance is expected and supported
Lead from the front, not from behind a desk
Performance
You own the outcome.
PT revenue and retention
Class utilisation and attendance
Member engagement and experience
You’ll work closely with senior leadership to ensure the fitness offering contributes meaningfully to overall club performance.
Who You Are
You’re not just a coach, you’re a builder.
You’ve grown a PT business or fitness function before
You understand how to drive revenue, not just deliver sessions
You’re confident leading a team and holding people accountable
You bring presence, energy, and structure to everything you do
You’re comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
Your Background Might Look Like
Fitness Manager, PT Manager, or Head Coach in a similar scale environment
Experience in high-performing boutique or large-scale environments
Exposure to performance-based training models and structured programming
Cert III & IV in Fitness (or equivalent), plus First Aid & CPR
Why This Role Stands Out
You’re not inheriting, you’re building
You’ll shape both the revenue model and the member experience
You’ll be part of a flagship environment operating at scale
There is genuine progression into broader leadership as the business grows
The Reality
This role comes with expectation.
The scale is significant
Performance matters
You will be visible, accountable, and relied upon
But for the right person, it’s an opportunity to step into something far bigger than a typical fitness role.
If you know how to build teams, drive performance, and create an environment people stay for — apply now.
