Lead One of Ireland’s Most Exciting Fitness

West Wood Club Sandymount is looking for an exceptional Gym Manager to lead the fitness floor at one of Dublin’s most advanced health clubs.

This is not a job for someone who wants to sit in an office.

This role is for a fitness professional who loves the gym floor, thrives on developing people, and is obsessed with delivering an outstanding member experience.

Gym Manager Essential Qualities

You understand something very important about the fitness industry.

• you may love intense workouts, but many members simply want to feel healthier

and stronger

• mentor and develop talented fitness professionals
