About the Role

Be the Energy. Be the Welcome. Be the Reason Members Love Coming In. We’re looking for a Fitness Ambassador — someone who’s more than just staff, but the heartbeat of the club. Think: the mayor of the gym. You’re the first hello, the go-to helper, the motivator, and the friendly face that keeps members coming back. This is the perfect entry-level role to kick-start a career in fitness, leadership, or wellness — no experience required, just great energy and a people-first mindset.

  • Be a visible, approachable presence on the fitness floor
  • Assist with check-ins, questions, and member needs
  • Promote programs, events, and club offerings
  • Help maintain a clean, safe, and motivating environment
  • Build relationships — know names, celebrate wins, and encourage progress
  • Facilitate PE@PF fitness programs and assist members with fitness programs through the Planet Fitness App
  • Provide orientation and guidance to new members on basic workout routines and equipment use
  • Demonstrate basic knowledge of cardio, strength, and functional training equipment (training provided)
  • Assist members with proper equipment use and safe techniques
  • Support member retention by building rapport and encouraging positive workout experiences
  • Greet all members with enthusiasm, professionalism, and courtesy

  • Engage with members on the fitness floor to provide encouragement and support
  • Promote club programs, personal training services, and special events
  • Assist with member check-ins, club tours, info calls, account inquiries, and membership updates
  • Perform routine cleaning and sanitization of equipment, locker rooms, and high-touch areas
  • Conduct light maintenance checks (changing pads, screws/nuts/bolts, lubing rods, etc.) and promptly report any issues
  • Maintain a safe, organized, and visually appealing club environment

Requirements

  • Outgoing, friendly, and naturally great with people
  • Energized by helping others and being on the move
  • Confident communicator with a positive attitude
  • Reliable, punctual, and ready to take ownership
  • Passionate about fitness, wellness, or personal growth
  • 18+

No fitness background? No problem. We’ll train you — personality and effort matter most.
