ARE WE A GOOD FIT? 

You: You like to work hard. You enjoy people and like to help others find success. You understand that every CrossFit journey is different but have a belief that every athlete has the potential to achieve health and fitness at the elite level. Business motivates you and you see opportunity in every corner to do things better. You understand why walking into the gym with a McDonald’s cup is out of the question. You understand the importance of getting every email just right. You’re not above any job. Systems and efficiency make you smile, maybe you even like spreadsheets;). You’re motivated by money but not at the expense of selling your soul. You train your body five times a week and enjoy going to group classes. You want a flexible work environment but understand the rigors and needs of a small business environment and, that sometimes, you just have to put your head down and grind. 

Us: We work hard and play hard. We are CrossFit purists and, as a team, vomit at the idea of gimmicky training methods, nutritional protocols, statements, and movements. We believe in the power of doing the basics well (in CrossFit and in business) and are proud to offer a professional CrossFit experience to our members. We see potential in every individual who walks through our doors and can’t wait to teach them the air squat. We get work done and openly hold protect and hold one another accountable to our team’s mission and ethos. We like coffee, eating clean, playing outside, laughing in the back office, and sharing in one another’s successes and setbacks. We love going to work. 

COMPENSATION:

Base salary with benefits and bonus structure. Compensation based on experience.
