About Workout Central
Workout Central is a new premium training and wellness facility opening in Newcastle city centre, located within Spire Platinum Suites.
The facility includes a high-spec strength gym floor, dedicated Reformer and Spin studios, functional training space, luxury spa facilities and an in-house café.
We are building a strong operational team ahead of launch and are looking for an experienced Assistant General Manager to support the General Manager in leading the business from day one.
The Role
This is a hands‑on operational leadership role.
