Front Desk Fitness Porfessional

Formerly known as the Columbia Court Club, the Hermiston Athletic Club (HAC) has reopened after nearly two years of extensive reconstruction and renovation. Just more proof that you can’t hold back Hermiston! As the premier fitness club in the neighborhood, our members enjoy high-end amenities, equipment, and facilities like nowhere else locally. Hermiston Athletic Club is currently seeking a General Manager to partner with the Executive Team to lead sales & operations within the facility while building a best-in-class membership experience for the community in Hermiston.

The General Manager (GM) ensures the club delivers an outstanding and well-rounded sales and service experience to all guests and members through a thoughtful and compelling approach of offering membership, fitness, and retail products and services. The GM is responsible for all aspects of delivering upon this expectation which will require a diverse skill-set, well-rounded experience, and a huge motor and sense of pride to build the Hermiston Athletic Club into a staple of the community rather than another gym in town. Through the support and training of the Executive Team, the GM will own membership growth and retention, facilities, program development, community relations, corporate sales, hiring and developing talented team members, and ownership of all location KPIs and performance metrics.

If you are a driven individual who likes to build, thrives in helping others find value in opportunities, walks the walk, takes ownership while leading and encouraging members, likes to set and achieve goals, and don’t mind throwing on some tennies and building a new fitness plan with a member, please keep reading.
