Reports To: General Manager

Role:

The Member Services Representatives (MSR) are the first line of contact with members and guests and their role is to create a warm, kind, and welcoming environment. They are professional and genuinely enthusiastic about fitness and about serving others. The MSR understands the importance of creating a fantastic Member Experience and that the front desk is the epicenter of the gym.

Member Experience Responsibilities:

Attitude:

A positive attitude starts with a smile and acknowledging every single member or guest. Even if you’re busy, a quick hello, goodbye or, “I’ll be with you in a moment” goes a long way. You can alse create a warm and welcoming environment by asking a member what they are working on in the gym today or asking them how their workout went as they exit. Making people feel like they are noticed and part of the Crunch family is one of the most important things that will impact a positive Member Experience and helps you to get to know our members on a more personal level.

Enthusiasm:

Genuine enthusiasm plays a critical role in creating a positive Member Experience. It’s the difference between going through the motions and engaging with people in the moment with a sincere, positive attitude.

Knowledge:

Knowledge is important because when members or guests have questions, they are looking for credible answers from informed team members. The MSR understands that the front desk is the epicenter of the gym where the Member Experience starts and ends. As such, it’s critical to have the ability to speak intelligently about our company, facilities, services, amenities and policies and to pocess the information you need to answer questions and manage member concerns.
