Club Manager - Fitness Hemel Hempstead

36-40K + bonus+ PT

I am looking for an experienced Leisure Club Manager to run a well-established hotel-based health club in Hemel Hempstead. The leisure club has a long -standing and loyal membership base of several hundred members and is typical of many hotel-based clubs in being an older clientele who enjoy the pool and spa facilities and not having to queue to use the gym equipment. The club offers a friendly environment where the team typically know the members by name. You will be supported by an assistant manager and a full-time team of 3 cross -trained staff who cover reception, fitness inductions, and pool plant management along with the support of a highly experienced maintenance manager and head of sales who work across the 150-bedroom hotel.

The overriding focus is to consistently deliver great engagement and member service and high standards of operational excellence, and it is ideally suited to a candidate looking for stability and a long term appointment:

• Own the running of the leisure club and the P and L
• Lead from the front in setting the standards for member engagement.
• Manage the rotas, ongoing recruitment and training programs.
• Manage a small timetable including popular aqua classes.
• Take ownership for maintenance issues and managing the contractors.
• Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and hygiene.
• Look to grow the membership base and achieve the targeted yield.
• There is an option to PT on top and keep 100% of the income.

We are keen to hear from candidates who have:

• Extensive experience managing a fitness club.
• Are Pool Plant, Fitness and First Aid Qualified
• Have presence and accountability to take ownership of the club.
• Willing to work shifts, including 1 in 3 weekends.
• Live within 45 minutes' drive time of Hemel Hempstead

In addition to basic salary of 36-40K dependent on experience, there is a quarterly bonus of £450 based on hitting revenue and profit. There is the opportunity to personal train members outside your contracted 40 hrs per week and you would keep 100% of the revenue minus the statutory deductions. Benefits include deeply discounted hotel stays, 50% off F and B in the hotel and free parking. Holiday entitlement is 28 days with a stakeholder pension scheme.

Interviews are immediately available.
