Lead the Floor. Build the Team. Help Grow the Business.
This is not a typical coaching job.
At D1 Training North Shore, the Fitness Director & Assistant General Manager is responsible for what actually happens inside the building — the energy, the experience, the team, and the results.
You will coach. But more importantly, you will lead people, set standards, and take ownership of outcomes that impact retention, culture, and growth.
If you are looking for a role where you can step into real responsibility and grow into broader leadership, this is that opportunity.
