Director of Training and Facility General Manager

Floor Coverings International of Downers Grove • Aurora, IL

38d • $60,000 - $90,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Alloy Personal Training is a semi-private personal training studio focused on results-driven coaching in a small-group setting. We're looking for a Director of Training to lead our team, drive sales, and run day-to-day studio operations. The Director of Training is part sales leader, part coach, part operator. You'll spend roughly a third of your time training clients and the rest running the business — selling memberships, leading staff, and keeping the studio operating smoothly. This is not a coaching-only role: your ability to sell is the single biggest factor in whether you succeed here. We're hiring in this order: sales ability, business/team management, coaching skill. The right candidate has closed sales in a fitness, gym, or personal training environment — running consultations, handling objections, converting prospects to paying clients. Our Head Coach, who reports to this role, owns technical coaching quality — so we're not hiring a master coach here. If you don't have a track record of selling fitness memberships or training packages, this isn't the right role for you.

Requirements

• Proven sales experience in fitness, gyms, or personal training
• Management or supervisory experience
• Strong communication skills and an outgoing, personable style
• Comfortable with performance metrics and holding a team accountable to them
• CPR/AED/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)

Nice To Haves

• Personal training certification a plus, but not required if sales experience is strong

Responsibilities

• Run all prospect consultations ("Starting Point" sessions) using our established sales process, including follow-up
• Manage the full sales pipeline: phone leads, booking, show rate, close rate, and attrition
• Convert trial clients to members following our defined sales process
• Track and report on sales metrics weekly
• Coach training sessions (target: ~10 hours/week)
• Run client accountability sessions and retention touchpoints (InBody check-ins, milestone tracking, visit reports)
• Reach out personally to members with declining attendance
• Review weekly workout programming with training staff
• Recruit, hire, and train new staff
• Lead weekly staff meetings and conduct quarterly performance reviews
• Oversee social media presence and local marketing campaigns
• Represent the studio at community events, B2B partnerships, and referral programs
• Run day-to-day studio operations: opening/closing, cleanliness, maintenance
• Maintain accurate client records and billing
• Uphold Alloy's brand standards and wear studio uniform during training shifts

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Profit sharing
• Vision insurance
• Competitive base + commission/bonus structure tied to sales performance
