Personal Training Sales Manager – Iron Culture North Bergen
Location: North Bergen, NJ
Compensation: Base Salary + Commission + Training Income | OTE $135,000+ Year One
Iron Culture has one goal: to be the best training facility in New Jersey. Not the biggest. The best - for the lifters, coaches, and fitness professionals who take this seriously
This is a high-visibility, high-earning role at the best training facility in the state. We're looking for a Training Manager who is, first and foremost, a sales leader and relationship builder. Someone who can walk into a room, earn trust fast, convert conversations into committed clients, and build the kind of loyal book of business that sustains a great career. The management piece matters, but it comes second. If you're a great trainer who hates selling, this isn't your role. If you're a great salesperson who loves training, keep reading.
Who You Are
You're a closer, but not the pushy kind. You build real relationships, you listen well, and you know how to help someone take the step they've been putting off. You understand that fitness sales is fundamentally about belief: yours in what you're selling, and theirs in you.
You're also a leader. You've led people before, or you're clearly ready to. You know how to set a standard, hold a team to it, and make the people around you better.
And you know training. You don't need to be the most credentialed person in the room, but you need to be credible - someone trainers will respect and members will trust.
What You'll Do
Sales and Relationship Management - this is the core of the role:
-
Own the training department's revenue. You set the pace, you run the floor, and you're the biggest producer in the room.
-
Convert member introductions and inbound leads into personal training clients through genuine, high-quality consultations.
-
Build long-term client relationships that drive retention, referrals, and recurring revenue.
-
Collaborate with the GM and membership team to maximize the lead pipeline and cross-sell opportunities.
Leadership and Team Development:
-
Hire, develop, and retain a team of elite personal trainers.
-
Run weekly team meetings and one-on-ones that sharpen skills, drive accountability, and reinforce culture.
-
Coach trainers on their own sales process so the whole department is producing, not just you.
-
Set and uphold the standard for professionalism, client service, and results across the training floor.
What We're Looking For
A demonstrated track record in sales
- - fitness sales preferred, but we'll talk to exceptional salespeople from other relationship-driven industries
-
3+ years of personal training experience (NASM or equivalent preferred)
-
Experience leading or mentoring others in a performance-driven environment
-
Strong communicator who earns trust quickly and follows through consistently
-
Available full-time, in-person at Iron Culture North Bergen
Bonus Points For
-
Experience in a luxury or high-end training environment
-
Background in strength and conditioning, bodybuilding, or athletic performance
Why This Role
This isn't a stepping stone. It's a career-defining opportunity with real earning potential, real autonomy, and a facility that will make recruiting clients easier than anywhere else you've worked. You'll have a strong lead pipeline, a team behind you, and leadership that knows how to get out of the way of great performers.

Competitive Base Salary + Monthly Commission
