Fitness Center Manager

About the Role
Our client is a premier Bangalore-based movement and lifestyle brand blending climbing, fitness, events, and community. They are looking for a hands-on Fitness Center Manager to take complete operational, team, and commercial ownership of their vibrant physical space. If you are a high-energy operational leader who thrives on the floor, builds high-performing teams, and drives both customer retention and top-line performance, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Centre Operations: Lead end-to-end daily operations, team scheduling, and facility readiness. Maintain strict SOPs, safety standards, cleanliness, and seamless peak-hour workflows.
• Team Leadership: Manage, coach, and develop a team of 8–20+ employees. Drive daily briefings, manage shift deployment, handle hiring/onboarding, and foster a strong culture of accountability.
• Customer Experience & Community: Own the end-to-end guest journey—from first-time walk-ins to long-term membership retention. Resolve feedback in real-time and actively support community events and programming.
• Commercial Performance: Track and drive location-level revenue metrics (memberships, renewals, footfall conversion, and capacity utilization). Deliver operational performance reports and identify clear opportunities to boost customer lifetime value.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–8+ years of professional experience, including 2–3+ years directly running a physical, customer-facing operation.
• Proven track record leading front-line teams of 8–20+ people (rostering, hiring, performance management).
• Floor-focused leadership style—someone who prefers interacting with customers and guiding staff in real-time over sitting at a desk.
• Solid business acumen with hands-on experience driving unit-level revenue, retention targets, and operational KPIs.
• Flexibility to work peak operational hours, including evenings and weekends.

Ideal Backgrounds:
Experience in Premium/Boutique Fitness, Sports & Recreation, Hospitality, Premium Retail, Social Clubs, Coworking, or Experiential Lifestyle Centers . Kannada/local language proficiency is a plus.
