The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance
As our Fitness Manager in Farnborough, you are the commercial and operational boss of the gym floor. You will manage our coaching team and the Group Exercise coordinator to ensure the club runs like a well-oiled machine. From driving Personal Training revenue to ensuring our studio classes are absolutely packed, you are the leader who turns a room full of equipment into a vibrant, high-energy community.
Why Village?
At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating lively spaces for our guests to work, eat, relax, and play. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers.
Previous leisure management experience is great, but your attitude, commercial drive, and natural leadership matter much more to us. If you have a passion for helping others smash their goals and the organisational skills to manage a fast-paced operation, we will give you all the support you need. Because it really does take a Village.
How the Village Thrives
We live our culture through four simple commitments:
- We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work every day, with purpose.
- We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
- We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
