Area Manager (Melbourne West Region)

Area Manager / Cluster Manager – Melbourne West, Victoria

Lead Clubs. Develop Managers. Drive Performance.

Are you an experienced fitness leader ready to take ownership beyond one club?

This is a highly sought after leadership opportunity within a well-established fitness group, supporting a portfolio of six successful clubs across Melbourne’s Western suburbs.

We’re looking for a proven operator who understands what it takes to run a high-performing fitness business, someone who can lead from the front, support Club Managers, drive results and create a consistent standard across multiple locations.

Reporting directly to the General Manager and Director, you’ll play a key role in club performance, leadership development and the continued success of the region.

The Role

This is not a behind-the-scenes management position.

You’ll be present in clubs, working alongside your teams, leading by example and ensuring each location is performing at its best.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Driving club performance across six locations

• Supporting sales growth, revenue and profitability targets

• Monitoring KPIs and creating action plans for improvement

• Coaching and developing Club Managers and their teams

• Building strong team culture, accountability and consistency

• Delivering staff training, mentoring and performance support

• Ensuring operational standards are maintained across all clubs

• Identifying opportunities to improve the member experience

You’ll work closely with the leadership team to execute strategy while staying connected to the day-to-day reality of club operations.

About You

This role is suited to an experienced fitness professional who has already proven they can lead a successful club or region.

To be successful, you will bring:

✓ Previous experience managing a high-performing fitness club, health club or similar environment
✓ Multi-site, cluster or area management experience highly regarded
✓ A proven track record achieving sales targets, KPIs and commercial outcomes
✓ Experience leading, training and developing managers or teams
✓ Strong understanding of membership sales, retention and operational performance
✓ Confidence analysing performance and creating action plans
✓ A hands-on leadership style, you don’t just direct, you show the way

You may currently be:

• An Area Manager looking for a new challenge

• A Cluster Manager ready for a larger portfolio

• A successful Club Manager ready to take the next step

What matters is that you understand the balance between people, performance and profitability.

What You Need To Know

This is a hands-on leadership role that requires flexibility and presence across your clubs.

Your working hours will align with the needs of club operations and your Club Manager teams, including key member engagement, sales and leadership periods.

You’ll need:

• Current driver’s licence and ability to travel between Western Melbourne locations

• Availability to be visible across your clubs when your teams and members need you

• Strong ownership, accountability and pride in your region

Why Join Us?

This is your opportunity to step into a highly sought after leadership role within an established and respected fitness group.

You’ll have the chance to influence six clubs, develop future leaders, improve performance and leave a genuine impact on the people and communities you support.

If you’re ready to move beyond managing a club and step into true multi-site leadership, we’d love to hear from you.
