Membership Sales & Business Development Manager
D1 Training Toledo
Drive Growth. Change Lives. Build Something Bigger.
D1 Training Toledo is looking for a highly motivated, results-driven Membership Sales & Business Development Manager to help accelerate growth and expand our impact throughout Northwest Ohio.
This is not a traditional front desk position. This is a sales leadership role for someone who thrives on building relationships, generating leads, closing memberships, creating community partnerships, and helping athletes and adults achieve their goals.
At D1 Training, we provide world-class athletic-based training for youth athletes and adults in a high-energy team environment. We are seeking an ambitious professional who is passionate about fitness, driven by results, and excited to help grow one of Toledo's fastest-growing fitness communities.
If you love sales, enjoy meeting people, and want a career with significant growth potential, we want to hear from you.
About D1 Training
At D1 Training, our mission is simple:
"You pick the goal. We help you get there."
Our training programs are built on the same principles used by Division-I collegiate athletic programs. From youth athletes to busy professionals, we help members develop strength, confidence, athleticism, and long-term healthy habits.
Our culture is built around energy, accountability, positivity, and relationships. Every day we have an opportunity to make an impact on someone's life, and we take that responsibility seriously.
