This is a hands‑on leadership role. You’ll run the business side of the gym, but you’ll also be on the floor teaching, high‑fiving, and cheering kids on every week. If you want a desk job, this isn’t it. If you want a job where "serious fun" is literally the product, keep reading.

• Strong sense of fulfillment
• Keep fit as you work
• Fun, high‑energy work environment
• Competitive compensation
• Comprehensive ongoing career training
• Excellent opportunity for career growth and advancement

With more than 300 locations across the globe, The Little Gym is the world’s premier enrichment and physical development center for kids 4 months through 12 years. For over four decades, The Little Gym has helped millions of kids experience the thrill of achievement, develop new skills, and find new confidence through a variety of gymnastics‑based programs. Parent/Child, Pre‑K, and Grade School classes are all taught in a clean, fun, safe, and nurturing environment, which encourages children to develop at their own pace.

As a part of The Little Gym team, you will be part of a family dedicated to the growth and development of children all over the globe.

The Gym Director is a full‑time career‑level position, responsible for the overall performance of The Little Gym location. Typically, the Gym Director reports directly to the owners of a specific The Little Gym location.

• Lead and inspire the team. Hire, train, coach, and celebrate a crew of instructors and directors. Run weekly team meetings and 1:1s, give in‑the‑moment feedback, and build a culture people love being part of.
• Teach! Spend roughly 25–50% of your time in the gym teaching classes and programs. You’ll be trained in our curriculum; you bring the energy and the love of kids.
• Grow enrollment. Own the member experience from first phone call to first forward roll. Drive introductory visits, conversion, and retention, and partner with the owners on enrollment and revenue goals.
• Create raving fans. Deliver exceptional customer service, know families by name, resolve concerns with empathy, and schedule intentional "WOW" moments for members.
• Run a tight ship. Oversee scheduling, payroll and labor costs, facility cleanliness, safety standards, and day‑to‑day operations so the gym runs smoothly and profitably.
