Independent Gyms, the UK’s leading support network for independent fitness operators, has announced a new strategic partnership with Leisurejobs.com to launch a dedicated Independent Gyms Employer Hub, designed to connect gym operators with over one million active job seekers across the UK fitness and leisure industry.

 

The new hub, branded under Independent Gyms, will provide a centralised platform for member gyms to advertise job vacancies directly to a highly engaged and relevant candidate pool. Roles ranging from personal trainers and fitness instructors to management and operational positions can now be promoted more effectively than ever before.

 

This partnership addresses one of the most consistent challenges facing independent gym operators: recruitment and talent acquisition in a competitive market.

 

A Smarter Way to Recruit

 

Through the Independent Gyms Employer Hub, members gain:

• Direct access to a database of over 1 million fitness industry candidates
• Increased visibility for job postings within a targeted audience
• A trusted platform backed by one of the UK’s leading fitness recruitment providers

 

The hub will also feature selected opportunities from within the Independent Gyms network, further strengthening connections across the community.

 

Supporting Growth Across the Sector

 

This collaboration reinforces Independent Gyms’ commitment to helping operators not only grow their businesses but build stronger teams to support long-term success.

 

“Recruitment remains one of the biggest pressure points for independent gym owners,” said Robert Handy, Founder of Independent Gyms. “By partnering with Leisurejobs.com, we’re giving our members direct access to a huge, relevant talent pool, alongside meaningful cost savings. It’s about making it easier for great gyms to find great people.”

 

“We’re delighted to partner with Independent Gyms to support their growing network,” said Dan Brown, Director at Leisurejobs.com. “This hub creates a powerful bridge between employers and candidates, ensuring opportunities within independent fitness businesses are more visible than ever.”

 

Launch and Availability

The Independent Gyms Employer Hub is now live, with members able to start posting roles immediately.
