Job Title: Director of Personal Training, Alloy Personal Training franchise
Company: Alloy Personal Training Johns Creek
About Us: Since 1992, we have helped countless people get into the best shape of their lives. We realize that being fit is about much more than what we see in the mirror – It’s about living life to the fullest. Alloy welcomes people no matter where they are in their fitness journey. We are uniquely focused on helping today’s adults lead more active and healthier lifestyles. We have recently selected highly capable franchisees to take our proven and personalized programs nationwide.
We are seeking a highly motivated and sales-driven leader to take on the role of Director of Personal Training at Alloy Personal Training in Johns Creek, GA. In our unique business model, the Director of Personal Training will receive a generous base salary PLUS the opportunity for a healthy bonus based on achieving new memberships and maintaining memberships throughout the year. A high performing Director of Personal Training will add significantly to his/her base salary through achieving top-level sales performance via ramping and growing the membership of the studio, retaining the membership, and controlling operational costs. We are looking for a Director who has proven he/she can CRUSH it!
How you'll thrive:
As the Director of Personal Training, you'll spend approximately 15-20 hours per week conducting super small group personal training sessions in our studio based on Alloy’s proven training methodology. You will have initial interaction with all members as the Director is the main point of contact for sales and will have continued interaction with all members, regardless if personally training them or not. Outside of your actual personal training hours, the remainder of your time will be spent on sales, developing and executing the marketing plan, customer retention, and ensuring part-time trainers are following the Alloy procedures and plays. After one year of employment, you will be eligible to participate in the company retirement plan. If you are the type to behave and think like an owner, as if it’s YOUR OWN MONEY invested in the business, capable of running the franchisor playbook, able to put in the up-front hard work, willing to partner with the owner, and genuinely care for and enjoy helping people become fitter and healthier, it is highly likely that you will succeed. Our motto is Looking Good, Feeling Great, and Living Life to Its Fullest. But those rewards only come to those who are willing to put in the hard work. This is an opportunity to prove that you can a) start up your own fitness business, b) keep it running efficiently with positive cashflow and high customer retention (97%), and c) make the transition from start-up to ongoing operator and ambassador/steward of an emerging fitness brand. If you are a clock watcher, only want to put it moderate effort, aren’t willing to do heavy lifts from time to time, you probably don’t have an owner’s mentality and this probably isn’t the right role for you. You will do well in this role if you
-are passionate about fitness

-are amazingly organized
-are willing to run the franchisor provided systems and plays
-are willing to learn new things
-are capable of providing excellent customer service
