Burn Boot Camp Oxford

We're building something different

Rather than operating with a large group of disconnected part-time employees, we are building our location around a small, highly accountable full-time leadership team. The Gym Manager is one of three key full-time leadership positions at the gym.

This is not an office-only management position. You will lead camps. You will know our members. You will sell. You will work the front floor. You will help keep the gym organized and clean. You will lead the team. And most importantly, you will be responsible for helping the entire location perform at a high level.

Our philosophy is simple

Everyone trains. Everyone serves. Everyone helps operate the gym. Each leader also owns a critical part of the business.

For this role, that ownership is: Run It.

The role

One of three full-time leaders

The Gym Manager is the primary leadership and accountability role for Burn Boot Camp Oxford. You'll work alongside two other full-time leaders. Your responsibility is to make sure those pieces, and the rest of the gym, work together.

You don't have to personally do everything. You do need to make sure the right things get done.

Responsibilities

What you will own

Team leadership & accountability

  • Lead the day-to-day team
  • Maintain staff accountability
  • Help develop Trainers and team members
  • Lead regular team meetings and scorecard reviews
  • Make sure responsibilities have clear owners
  • Help create a culture of high standards and personal ownership

Scheduling & staffing

  • Maintain weekly staff schedules
  • Make sure all camps have proper Trainer and front-floor coverage
  • Coordinate part-time Trainers, BAs, and Childwatch as needed
  • Help manage labor efficiently
  • Address staffing gaps before they become problems

Numbers & business performance

You will know the numbers behind the gym:

  • Total active membership
  • Net membership growth
  • Attrition
  • Revenue
  • Lead activity and sales performance
  • Staffing and labor
  • Promotional results
  • Key operational metrics

You'll work with the other two full-time leaders to make sure problems are identified and acted on quickly.

Daily Burn operations

All three full-time leaders take part in operations, including:

  • Member check-in
  • Front-floor / Burn Ambassador coverage
  • Membership conversations
  • Trial and prospect interaction
  • Phone and message response
  • Basic billing and member questions
  • Retail
  • Cleaning and resetting the gym
  • Childwatch coordination
  • Facility standards
  • Events and promotions

Operations belong to the entire leadership team. The Gym Manager is accountable for making sure they're executed consistently.

5–8camps a week
You will still train

Leading from the floor

Training is a major part of this position. The goal is approximately 5–8 camps per week, depending on scheduling and business needs. We don't want a manager who only sees numbers from an office. We want a leader who understands the business because they are working inside it with our members and team.

How our leadership team works

Two seats, every camp

During camp times, two operational seats generally need to be covered. Throughout the week, our full-time leadership team moves between both.

Trainer seat

One person leads the camp and delivers the Burn experience.

Front-floor / BA seat

The second leader handles things such as:

  • Check-in, trials, and prospects
  • Member questions and sales conversations
  • Phones, messages, and lead follow-up
  • Administrative work and retail
  • Facility organization
  • Supporting the Trainer
Nobody on this team is "too management" to work the front floor.
Nobody is "just a Trainer."
Typical week

About 35 hours

Our goal is a predictable full-time schedule. A typical week for this position may look like:

DayTypical hours
Monday8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Tuesday8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Wednesday8:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Thursday12:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Friday8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Saturday8:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Approximate total35 hours

Schedules may flex based on staffing, events, vacations, and business needs.

Clear expectations

How success is measured

We believe good jobs should have clear expectations. You will help own results such as:

  • Membership growth
  • Attrition
  • Revenue
  • Labor efficiency
  • Staff execution
  • Operational standards
  • Member experience
  • Team accountability
  • Scorecard performance

The position is designed to include performance-based earning opportunities when the gym performs well. We want our team to have the ability to make more money when they help create more success.

Who we're looking for

This may be a great fit if you

This is probably not the right position for someone looking only to lead fitness classes. We are looking for someone who wants to help operate and grow a business.
Why Burn Boot Camp?

Build something with us

Burn Boot Camp offers the opportunity to work inside an established national fitness brand while still being part of a locally owned business where individual leadership matters.

Our franchise ownership group believes strongly in building from within. We want Oxford to perform at a high level, and then build from that success.

As our organization grows, successful leaders may have opportunities to pursue additional responsibility, including areas such as:

Those opportunities are not automatic or guaranteed. They are opportunities we want to create for people who help us build successful locations and prove they can lead at the next level.

We aren't looking for someone who simply wants their next job. We're interested in finding people who might want to build something with us.

The simple version

Your job is to:

Run It.

If that sounds exciting rather than overwhelming, we should probably talk.
