Hitchin
I am recruiting for a really exciting fitness job in the Hitchin area. We are recruiting for a sales and retention specialist for an independent fitness operator who have got some fantastic expansion plans for the next 1-2 years. This is a really exciting opportunity for an ambitious candidate from the fitness industry who wants a role where they can design and implement sales and marketing strategies and with great progression opportunities.
In this exciting fitness job, you will be supporting an independent gym that boasts top of the range equipment, Hyrox partnerships and is a real hub of the community. This will include creating and following a sales/marketing plan, conducting sales tours and doing local corporate activity. You will also be responsible for the overall sales target and will support the club with basic operations as well.
I am extremely keen to speak to candidates who have sales experience in the fitness industry! Ideally you will be working as a club manager, sales manager, general manager, deputy manager or assistant manager.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
