About The Position

Fitness Connection is hiring a General Manager to lead a club location in Garland, Texas. The role leads sales, operations, member experience, and team performance while creating a welcoming, high-energy culture. The General Manager partners with the Area Manager to develop talent, drive performance, and deliver the company’s mission of inspiring healthier lives through value-rich experiences. This hands-on leadership role balances performance expectations with people-first leadership. The General Manager owns club revenue, payroll, and performance metrics; drives membership and revenue growth; develops accountable leaders; and ensures that members receive a clean, safe, welcoming experience. Success means engaged and developed teams, members who feel supported and motivated to return, and a club that meets or exceeds its goals.

Target annual bonus potential is $12,000–$15,000, with the possibility of exceeding targets. Total on-target compensation is $72,000–$90,000 or more. The schedule is flexible to meet club needs and may include early mornings, evenings, weekends, and some holidays. Schedules are planned in advance where possible, with leadership presence expected during key business hours. Some clubs operate 24 hours, and the General Manager is expected to build a strong team to support club operations. Occasional travel may be required.
