Managing the U.S. Fitness Club: What Current Employer Vacancies Ask Managers to Do

A structured purposive study of 108 directly checked, duty-bearing U.S. fitness-management vacancies observed on 13 October 2026. The sample comes from 121 retained matrix candidates, with 13 excluded from analysis, and 17 additional excluded or deduplicated links documented separately. Counts describe selected advertisement disclosures, not U.S. prevalence or course demand.

Version 2 corrects the method appendix to the accepted v13 analysis and replaces the public matrix with an accepted-only 108-row projection containing source references and analyst-assigned codes. Version 1 included employer excerpt cells and an outdated method note; use version 2 for the public data annex. The report PDF, report Markdown, source roster and geography note retain their original bytes.

All rights in the original advertisements and any quoted employer wording remain with their publishers; the public matrix does not license their text.
