About The Position

As the General Manager of MADabolic Orlando, you will be responsible for running the business, including the team, members, numbers, and the local community. This is a unique opportunity to build a brand from the ground up in a new market, as Orlando will be the first MADabolic location in the area.

The role also involves leading classes and fostering a studio known for excellence and care.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter, comfortable initiating conversations with local businesses and organizations, and skilled in sales through active listening and understanding client needs.
