Turn Leadership into Momentum; Build a Club Where People Thrive and Performance Follows at Fitness First’s brand new, state-of-the-art facility – Bourke Street Platinum.
The Opportunity
Be part of something from the very beginning. This is a rare opportunity to lead an aspirational multi-offer club through its exciting pre-sales journey, building a passionate member community and a high-performing team that will set the foundation for a successful launch and its ongoing long-term growth.
At Fitness First , our clubs are more than places to train - they’re communities where people show up to become stronger, healthier and more confident. As Club Manager , you’ll set the tone for that experience every single day, leading one of our newest clubs Bourke Street Platinum (opening late 2026) - a 3,800 sqm, multi-level, premium fitness destination designed to inspire.
Bourke Street Platinum will feature state-of-the-art strength, cardio & performance zones, Fitness First’s most comprehensive Revive Recovery offering – featuring a 25m swimming pool, cold plunge, magnesium plunge, traditional and infra-red saunas, steam rooms, red light pods, massage chairs and Normatec compression boots, and extensive group fitness facilities – including Ceremony. It’s a space built for excellence, and it needs a leader who can bring it to life.
This is a dynamic, hands-on leadership role where you’ll take ownership of the club’s commercial success and operational performance. From driving membership growth and retention to ensuring the club runs seamlessly day to day, you’ll balance strong business leadership with genuine care for your people and members.
Leading from the front, you’ll champion outstanding service, create energy on the gym floor and inspire your team to help members stay motivated and committed to their goals.
Because when a club is led with energy, purpose and belief in its people, it becomes more than a gym - it becomes a place where lives change.

- Management of sales budgets and analysis to determine proactive strategies for improvement
- Meet your own sales target to contribute to the club's overall monthly and annual targets
- Leading in the delivery of exceptional member experiences and the successful resolution of member concerns

- Leadership experience managing a sales team with 5+ direct/indirect reports in a high volume and fast paced environment. Ideally within the fitness industry
- Strong stakeholder management with exceptional verbal, written and time management skills
- Experience in managing budgets, monitoring & reporting on P&L
