Job Description: The Front Climbing ClubGym Staff - Full-Time | Salt Lake City & South Main | $17–$19/hrReliable, Rugged, Ready - Join Our Gym Crew Running a gym like ours takes more than someone who loves the outdoors - it takes someone dependable, sharp, and ready to handle whatever a shift throws at them. From the front desk to the retail shelves to the climbing floor, our Gym Staff keep the whole operation running smoothly. If you're the kind of person people can count on, we want to talk to you. About The FrontThe Front Climbing Club is more than a climbing gym - it's a full-blown community hub built around movement, connection, and adventure.

About the Role: This is a full-time position based out of our Salt Lake City & South Main gyms, paying $17–$19/hour.

  • Keep the space sharp with daily cleaning, deep cleans, and general facility upkeep
  • Patrol the gym with a tablet in hand, flagging hazards and reporting issues to management
  • Coach basic climbing technique and be a reliable, welcoming face on the floor for guests
  • Keep an eye on the walls - checking certification tags, belay technique, and rule-following
  • Call out unsafe behavior on the spot and run belay tests and autobelay orientations
  • Take ownership of whatever comes up during a shift - we count on our staff to stay sharp, accountable, and solution-focused
  • What You BringYou might be a great fit if:
  • You're someone others can rely on - you show up, follow through, and take responsibility seriously
  • You've got 5+ years of experience across work, school, or trade training - customer service, sales, or hospitality background is a big plus
  • You're approachable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy helping people
  • You can juggle a dozen things at once without losing your cool

  • Your schedule can flex to nights, weekends, and whatever shifts come upYou're self-driven and stay productive even when things slow down, without needing someone looking over your shoulder
  • You're comfortable holding First Aid/CPR and Utah Alcohol Certification (we'll help you get certified upon hire)
  • You're handy with MS Office; hospitality or hotel experience is a nice-to-have
  • You've got a sharp eye for cleanliness and a knack for turning a tricky member interaction into a win
  • You can lift at least 50 lbs and stay alert and safety-minded in a busy, gear-and-chalk-dust kind of environment
