I am writing to express my interest in the Club Manager position at Goodlife Health Clubs Preston.

Aside from a passion for health and fitness, and four years experience as a rhythm cycle instructor, I have more than 20 years of leadership experience with the Woolworths Group, including 11 years as a Store Manager (across stores in Queensland, the NT, and Victoria) I have developed a strong expertise in leading large, diverse teams, driving commercial performance, managing financial outcomes, and creating high-performing cultures.

In my current role as Store Manager at Woolworths Carnegie North, I lead the largest store of my management career, overseeing a business averaging approximately $1.05 million in weekly sales. I manage up to 165 team members, with eight department managers reporting directly to me, and am accountable for sales growth, profitability, team engagement, recruitment, succession planning, operational excellence, and customer experience.

A key focus of my leadership is developing strong leaders and fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. Throughout my career, I have led complex, high-volume operations, analysed business performance, managed budgets, and implemented strategies that improved commercial results and customer satisfaction. These experiences align closely with the leadership, sales, and operational requirements of the Club Manager role.

What excites me most about Goodlife is the opportunity to combine my leadership and commercial experience with my passion for fitness. I am drawn to Goodlife's focus on strong communities, high-performing teams, and exceptional member experiences. I am confident my experience leading large teams, managing significant business performance, and building positive cultures would allow me to contribute to the success of the Preston club.
