Club Manager
Runs the club and the Crew in it.
What the job involves
You run the club. The numbers, the Crew, the standard and the athlete experience are yours, every day. XF is a Training and Recovery Club: sauna and recovery are included, the floor is built to HYROX standard, there is a Reformer studio and one membership works across all three clubs. You run one of those three, and you make it the one athletes talk about.
You report to the Head of Club Success and Operations and you work closely with the Club Success and Operations team at HQ.
The numbers
- Own the club's numbers: members, joins, cancellations and retention.
- Know them every week, understand what is moving them and act on it.
- Report to HQ accurately and on time.
The Crew
- Lead, rota and develop the Fitness Crew and the Facilities Crew.
- Recruit, induct and train Crew, and hold them to the XF standard.
- Coach performance, deal with issues early, and run fair and lawful people processes with HQ's support.
- Set the example: visible, on the floor, phone in the Crew area.
The standard
- Walk the club every day. Cleanliness, equipment, presentation and safety are your standard.
- Own health and safety in the club: risk assessments, checks, incident reporting and records.
- Get faults and hazards reported and fixed.
- Replenish, reset and repair before an athlete notices.
The athlete experience
- Make sure every athlete is greeted, coached, listened to and looked after.
- Handle feedback and complaints yourself and close the loop.
- Drive tours, joins and retention through the Crew on the floor.
- Build the local community: events, partnerships and the things that make this club its own.
HQ
- Work with Club Success and Operations on standards, campaigns and improvements.
- Land HQ initiatives in the club and put the club's ideas forward to HQ.
Essentials
- Leadership experience in leisure, hospitality or retail.
- A current first aid qualification.
- Comfortable with numbers: reading a report, spotting a trend and explaining it.
- A strong communicator, confident with athletes, Crew and HQ.
- Able to work on your own judgement and as part of the wider XF team.
Desirable
- Experience running a gym, health club or leisure site.
- Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification or above.
- Experience recruiting and developing a team.
- Experience with a membership or CRM system.
Who does well here
You lead from the floor, not the office. You are calm under pressure and direct with people. You like a number and you like knowing why it moved. You hold a standard without needing to be reminded of it, and you build a Crew that does the same. The club is open early, late and at weekends, and you will be there when it matters. If you need an adjustment to do the job well, tell us and we will talk it through.
