“to create and foster an environment where everyone can enrich their life through fitness”
With more than 2,400 locations, Planet Fitness (NYSE: PLNT) is one of the largest and most popular fitness chains in the world.

Its core mission is to enhance people’s lives by providing a high-quality fitness experience in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment, which it calls the Judgement Free Zone®.

The Facilities Manager will lead a team of Facility Service Managers and own the contract and capital expense programs that keep our clubs running. This role is accountable for building and developing the field-based Facility Service Manager team, negotiating and managing national and regional service contracts and preventative maintenance agreements, and planning, budgeting, and executing capital expenditures across equipment, HVAC, life safety, and building envelope.

You will play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of the company and will work closely with the VP, Development as well as other cross-functional team members.
