About Fit.Zone
Fit.Zone is building India's first dual-sided fitness platform — one membership, multiple centers, unlimited fitness. We partner with independent gyms and fitness centers, co-brand them at our cost, migrate their members onto our technology, we're scaling from 25 live centers to 150+ in Year 1.
The Role
You are the front line of that expansion. You will close new affiliated gyms in the field, then own the relationship through to live operations — from signed agreement to branded, technology-enabled, revenue-generating center.
What You'll Do
Field acquisition (primary)
- Identify, cold-call, and visit independent gyms and fitness centers across your assigned Bengaluru zone
- Pitch the Fit.Zone partnership model — revenue growth guarantee, co-branding at Fit.Zone's cost, technology platform, marketing support
- Handle owner objections on exclusivity, pricing, and member migration; negotiate and close
- Work through WhatsApp-first outreach, in line with how Indian fitness center owners actually convert
- Maintain a disciplined field pipeline — daily visits logged, weekly conversion targets met
Onboarding signed gyms
- Own the handover from "agreement signed" to "center live"
- Coordinate co-branding execution — signboard installation, interior branding, signage photography as evidence
- Drive member migration onto the Fit.Zone platform; ensure existing members are onboarded seamlessly
- Support technology onboarding — Partner Portal setup, QR check-in, revenue integration into the unified system
- Coordinate the GBP network rename standard ([Center Name] - Fit.Zone) in line with the staggered rollout policy
Vendor & cross-team coordination
- Coordinate with branding, signage, and equipment vendors on installation timelines and quality
- Work with the marketing team on hyper-local lead generation, community events, and center-level campaigns
- Liaise with Operations (COO's office) on post-onboarding center quality and SOP compliance
- Be the center owner's day-to-day point of contact — a direct line of support, not a ticket queue Reporting
- Track and report on acquisition funnel: leads → meetings → agreements → live centers
- Feed field intelligence back to marketing on what's converting and what isn't
What We're Looking For
- 1–3 years in field sales, business development, or channel/partner acquisition — fitness, retail, FMCG, telecom, or SaaS background welcome
- Comfortable being on the road 5 days a week; Bengaluru geography knowledge preferred
- Robust conversational Kannada, Hindi, and English — you'll be negotiating with local gym owners
- WhatsApp-fluent, CRM-disciplined, and genuinely good at follow-up
- Self-driven: you build your own pipeline, you don't wait for leads
- Belief in fitness as a category, and patience for the unglamorous prep work before a close
Compensation & Growth
- ₹25,000–30,000/month fixed, based on experience
- Incentives on gyms signed and centers successfully onboarded (structure discussed at interview)
- Travel reimbursement for field visits
- Fast track to Area/Regional Manager as the network scales
