At Fitness Cartel Health Clubs, we’re not just building gyms – we’re building a movement. With bold plans to expand to 60+ clubs by 2030, we’re creating state-of-the-art spaces where communities come together, motivation thrives, and people are inspired to achieve more. From Cycle Studios and Reformer Pilates to cafés, crèches, and saunas, our clubs are designed to deliver a world-class experience every day.

Now, we’re looking for a Club General Manager (CGM) to take the reins of a brand-new club opening. This is your chance to set the standard, build a team from the ground up, and create a culture of excellence and energy from day one.

The Role:

As Club General Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind the success of the club. You’ll oversee performance, operations, and member experience – creating a thriving environment that delivers results, inspires members, and grows an engaged community. Working closely with our Executive Team, Regional Performance Managers, and Directors, you’ll be empowered to shape the future of your club.

Key Responsibilities:

• Launch and lead a brand-new club, setting the tone for culture, performance, and community.

• Oversee operations across all areas – including Crèche, Retail & Apparel, and Café.
• Recruit, train, and inspire a high-performing team from the ground up.
• Mentor and motivate department heads through weekly meetings and ongoing coaching.
• Ensure our world-class facilities are maintained to the highest standard.
• Lead club events and initiatives – from Open Days to 8-Week Challenges – that build energy and connection.
• Deliver clear reporting, analysis, and communication to drive continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven leadership in a large “Big Box” gym (20+ staff, 2,000+ members).
• Experience working in a KPI-driven environment, with a natural drive to exceed targets.
• A people-first approach – able to connect with members and inspire staff alike.
• A growth mindset, strong sales skills, and a genuine passion for health & fitness.
• A problem-solving, solution-focused attitude with resilience and adaptability.
• Excellent communication skills, professionalism, and the ability to lead by example.
• Strong computer literacy and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
• Current First Aid & CPR Certificates (or willingness to obtain).
• Full Australian working rights.

What We Offer:

• A Thriving Culture: Be part of the fastest-growing, most exciting brand in the fitness industry.
• Career Pathways: Launch your career with us and progress into multi-site regional management roles or head office leadership positions as we continue to expand.

  • FREE membership across all Fitness Cartel clubs.
