You will be tenant facing, provide anticipatory service, be extremely detail oriented, and maintain a high level of professionalism with all levels of stakeholders.

Your legacy will include bringing wellness and peak performance to the masses and transforming the office building into a place where tenants are excited to come every day. You will lead the team to become a lasting fixture in the community.

What You're Responsible For:


  • Fitness Center Operational Management: Oversee the operational strategy and management of your assigned fitness centers ensuring the operations are a seamless experience for tenants. This may include: ordering locker room supplies, cleaning equipment, folding and restocking towels and laundry, opening and closing procedures, etc.
  • Fitness Center Tours and Leasing Support: Lead tours of the fitness center spaces to interested tenants, communicating Lulafit’s offerings and private services throughout.
  • Marketing and Communication: Implement and oversee marketing strategies and communications, including newsletters, email campaigns, digital marketing, and printed materials to engage tenants.
  • Fitness Center Services: Act as head personal trainer by coordinating and administering personal training and small group training sessions within the fitness center. Plan and lead group fitness classes to the membership population. Provide timely and professional communication to members before and after sessions to ensure a hospitality-focused experience.

  • You must have a valid Personal Training certification from a nationally recognized organization.
  • You must be comfortable teaching multiple formats of group fitness classes to groups of all sizes.

Who You Are: Key Competencies

  • You are a stellar communicator.  You are known for clearly communicating your points - whether in email or verbally.  In this role you’ll be communicating a lot about bookings (both coordinating them and confirming), sending vendor communications, and engaging with different levels of tenants (office managers to C-Suite).
  • A flexible and adaptable entrepreneur: You thrive in an ever changing environment. You can instinctually reprioritize your tasks based on changing demands, and can keep a level head and hospitality mindset through these changes. You are able to work autonomously and consistently aim to anticipate colleague and tenant needs.
  • A proven revenue generator.  You have experience sourcing, vetting, and managing vendor relationships. You have also monetized fitness center memberships and hit personal training revenue goals in previous roles.
