Workout Central – Newcastle upon Tyne
Multiple positions available
Hours: Approximately 20–40 hours per week, depending on availability and operational requirements
Pay: £12.71 per hour
Benefits: Complimentary Workout Central club membership
Schedule: Rota-based, including early mornings, evenings and weekends
About the Role
Workout Central is looking for enthusiastic, reliable and customer-focused Fitness & Front of House Team Members to join our growing team at our Newcastle city-centre facility.
This is a varied, hands-on role combining fitness-floor duties, member service, reception and front-of-house responsibilities, together with supporting our on-site Café Revive.
We're looking for people who enjoy working with members, take pride in delivering excellent customer service and are comfortable moving between different areas of the club rather than spending an entire shift behind a reception desk.
The role would suit someone looking to develop their career within the fitness industry while gaining experience across the wider operation of a premium health and fitness facility.
Both part-time and full-time hours may be available. We are particularly interested in candidates whose availability can help us cover a mixture of early mornings, evenings and weekends.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Fitness & Front of House Team Member, you'll work alongside our management team, Personal Trainers and instructors to help provide a safe, welcoming and professional environment for our members.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing a friendly and professional welcome to members and guests
- Reception and front-of-house duties
- Maintaining an active and approachable presence on the gym floor
- Assisting members with equipment and general fitness enquiries
- Conducting gym inductions where appropriate
- Supporting the safe opening and closing of the facility alongside the duty manager
- Monitoring the presentation, cleanliness and general condition of member areas
- Assisting with membership enquiries and facility tours
- Supporting Café Revive during busy periods
- Preparing and serving coffees, smoothies and other Café Revive products following training
- Helping maintain appropriate cleanliness, hygiene and operating standards within the café
- Providing additional operational support during busy periods
- Supporting member activities and events where required
- Delivering or assisting with fitness classes where appropriately qualified
- Working flexibly across the facility to help provide an excellent member experience
This is very much a hands-on team role. We are looking for people who are happy to get involved wherever they are needed and who understand that excellent member service involves much more than simply operating a reception desk.
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Level 2 Gym/Fitness Instructor qualification or equivalent
- Excellent customer-service and communication skills
- Friendly, confident and professional when dealing with members and guests
- Reliable and punctual
- Comfortable working as part of a small team
- Willingness to work across fitness, front of house and Café Revive
- Comfortable maintaining a clean, organised and well-presented environment
- Able to use initiative and respond appropriately when the facility becomes busy
- Availability to work a rota that may include early mornings, evenings and weekends
Desirable – but not essential
- Previous barista or coffee-shop experience
- Previous gym, leisure, hospitality or customer-service experience
- Group exercise qualifications or experience
- Indoor cycling/spin qualification
- First Aid qualification
- Experience conducting gym inductions or supporting members on the gym floor
Full training on Workout Central's operating systems and Café Revive procedures will be provided.
We're particularly interested in candidates who can bring additional skills to the team. Whether that's barista experience, group exercise, indoor cycling or excellent front-of-house experience, we'd like to hear from you.
