Global leader in personal training, offering world-class studios worldwide from Sydney to Los Angeles. Known for science-backed training, nutrition, and coaching that delivers exceptional results for clients.
Following a Private Equity acquisition in 2024, we are rapidly scaling with strong investment in people, systems, and processes to support global growth. The pre-launch of a major rebrand in January 2026 and strategic reinforcements are driving momentum across the business.
The Role: Commercial Finance Analyst

Collaborating with senior leaders, you will translate financial and operational data into actionable insights, directly supporting strategic priorities and driving business growth.

Financial Planning & Budgeting
- Contribute to budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning initiatives.
- Advise on strategic financial models, dashboards, and reporting improvements to drive operational efficiency.
