Iron Culture is a high-end, hardcore training facility built to be the #1 destination for serious lifters and fitness professionals in the state.
We’re looking for a Training Manager who’s ready to lead from the front — to set the tone, shape the team, and build a powerhouse training department from the ground up.

A leader of people. You’ve managed teams before, and you know how to coach, inspire, and hold others to the highest standard.
A seasoned trainer. You’ve walked the walk. NASM certified (or equivalent), with a strong personal training background.
A business-minded operator. You understand sales, you can teach others to close, and you thrive in performance-driven environments.
A culture driver. You know how to build a high-performance culture without sacrificing high-end service. You're passionate, polished, and professional.
What You’ll Do:
Lead the Training Department — Oversee and develop a team of elite trainers who deliver world-class results and service.
Drive Sales Growth — Own the training department’s revenue goals and coach your team to consistently hit them.
Develop Talent — Run weekly trainings, mentor new trainers, and implement systems that elevate performance across the board.
Enforce Standards — Be the example. Set and uphold the standard for professionalism, client service, and results.
Collaborate with Leadership — Work closely with the GM and COO to grow the business, execute strategy, and create an unmatched member experience.
Requirements:
3+ years of personal training experience (NASM preferred)
2+ years of leadership or management experience in a fitness or performance setting

Bonus Points For:
