Fitness Director & Assistant General Manager

D1 Training - North Shore
Glenview, IL
Benefits:
  • Bonus based on performance
  • Free uniforms
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Training & development
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.

About D1 Training North Shore

We are a high-performance training facility in Glenview built on the same principles used at the collegiate and professional level.

Our members include youth athletes, high school athletes, adults, and teams — all training in a fast-paced, high-energy environment focused on results.

Our mission is simple: You pick the goal. We help you get there.

This role plays a direct part in delivering that experience every day.

What You’ll Own

Training Floor Leadership

  • Lead from the front as a primary coach across youth, adult, and team programs
  • Set the tone for every session through energy, structure, and execution
  • Ensure a consistent, high-level training experience across all classes
  • Oversee athlete assessments and goal-setting during onboarding
Team Leadership & Development

  • Recruit, hire, and develop a strong coaching staff
  • Run coach education, evaluations, and ongoing feedback
  • Hold the team accountable to clear performance standards
  • Build depth on staff to support growth without sacrificing quality
Member Experience & Retention

  • Own the day-to-day member experience inside the facility
  • Drive retention through engagement, visibility, and follow-up
  • Ensure new members are onboarded properly and progressing
  • Be a consistent presence members know and trust
Operations & Execution

  • Manage scheduling, staffing coverage, and daily execution
  • Maintain a clean, organized, professional training environment
  • Ensure equipment and systems support a high-quality experience
Growth & Business Impact

  • Contribute to membership growth through referrals and community presence
  • Support local partnerships, events, and grassroots marketing
  • Create an experience that drives word-of-mouth and repeat engagement
  • Work closely with ownership on initiatives that improve retention and revenue
What We’re Looking For

  • NCCA-accredited certification (CSCS, NASM, USAW, ACSM, or similar)
  • CPR/AED/First Aid certified
  • Experience coaching strength, conditioning, or group training
  • Proven ability, or clear potential, to lead and develop others
  • Strong presence, energy, and communication skills
  • Collegiate athletic background preferred
  • Degree in Exercise Science or related field is a plus
And just as important:

  • You are comfortable being the face of the training floor and building relationships with members
  • You bring a proactive mindset around growth, including referrals and community engagement
  • You can command a room, create energy, and keep people engaged
  • You take ownership of outcomes, not just responsibilities
Compensation & Opportunity

  • Base salary starting at $45,000+, based on experience
  • Performance-based bonuses tied to measurable KPIs
  • Clear path into broader operational leadership
  • PTO and free unlimited membership
  • Ongoing education and development support
  • Medical & Dental Benefits
A Final Thought

The right person for this role does not wait to be told what to do.

They walk into the building and immediately make it better — for the members, the team, and the business.

If you are wired to lead from the front and take ownership of results, this is a real opportunity to build something and grow with it.
