Location: West Orange, NJ
Compensation: Base Salary + Commission + Training Income | OTE $135,000+ Year One
Iron Culture isn’t just a gym. It’s a movement.
And our brand-new West Orange location is the crown jewel — a high-end, hardcore training facility built to become 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.
Who You Are:
-
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.
What to Expect Early On:
Iron Culture West Orange is a brand-new facility, and like any great launch, the first few months will be hands-on and demanding. You’ll be laying the foundation — hiring, onboarding, training, selling, and building the culture from the ground up.
To support you through the ramp-up, we’re guaranteeing your bonus for the first 6 months, assuming good standing with the company. We’ve got your back — and we’re investing in your success.
