JOB DESCRIPTION

The Personal Training Director is the business owner of the Personal Training department at an assigned club location, accountable for the overall performance, profitability, and member experience of that department. This position leads by example, upholds Company standards, and is the point of reference for fitness expertise within the location. The Personal Training Director recruits, develops, and retains a high-quality training team; maintains accurate Personal Trainer headcount and capacity to meet member demand; and is accountable for the successful attainment of departmental targets, including revenue performance, new-client enrollment, client retention, and client results. In addition to leading the department, the Personal Training Director personally services qualifying Personal Training sessions and maintains an active client base.

Business Ownership & Scope of Authority

The Personal Training Director is designed to operate as the business owner of the Personal Training department at the assigned location and is expected to be the first line of resolution for substantially all business, operational, staffing, and performance matters that arise within that department. When a Personal Trainer position is vacant or the department is below its approved staffing plan, the Personal Training Director is directly responsible for maintaining member service levels and session delivery until the position is filled, and for prioritizing recruitment and placement of qualified trainers without unreasonable delay. Aside from matters requiring formal legal review or Human Resources involvement, or matters that must be escalated to the Regional Director of Fitness, the Personal Training Director is expected to identify, own, and resolve issues at the location directly.

ESCALATION

The following matters fall outside this position’s scope of authority and must be escalated to the Regional Director of Fitness, Human Resources, Legal, or other designated Company leadership rather than resolved independently:

• Formal workplace investigations, harassment or discrimination complaints, and other protected employee-relations matters governed by Human Resources policy.
• Termination decisions, leave-of-absence administration, and other actions requiring Human Resources review and approval.
• Legal disputes, claims, subpoenas, regulatory inquiries, or matters requiring the involvement of the Company’s Legal department.
• Changes to approved staffing plans, budgets, pricing, or Company-established Personal Training programming.
• Matters otherwise designated by Company policy as requiring escalation beyond the Personal Training Director’s scope of authority.
