Virtual Assistant – Remote Part‑Time Customer Care & Member Engagement Specialist for Health & Fitness Community

About arenaflex

arenaflex is a boutique, independent health and fitness studio based in the United Kingdom. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower every member of our close‑knit community to become stronger, healthier, and more consistent through personalized coaching, data‑driven accountability, and genuine care. Because we are a small team, each employee and contractor has a direct impact on the lives of our members, and we celebrate every win—big or small—as a collective achievement.

At arenaxflex, we blend the science of performance tracking with the art of community building. Our members rely on us not only for world‑class training programs but also for the encouragement and support that keep them showing up week after week. This is why the role of a Virtual Assistant for Customer Care & Member Engagement is so pivotal: you become the friendly voice behind the data, the person who turns a missed session into an opportunity for motivation, and the steward of the vibrant community that defines arenaxflex.

Why This Role Matters

In a fast‑growing fitness ecosystem, member retention is the lifeblood of sustainable success. While our coaches design the workouts, you will ensure that every member feels seen, heard, and motivated. By tracking attendance, reconciling membership plans, and delivering timely, personalized check‑ins, you will directly influence member satisfaction, loyalty, and ultimately the growth trajectory of arenaxflex.

Role Overview

This is a long‑term, part‑time, remote position designed for a detail‑oriented, self‑motivated individual who loves health and wellness and enjoys supporting others. You will work approximately 10 hours per month to start (roughly 2–3 hours per week), with the potential to expand both hours and responsibilities as the studio scales. Flexibility is built into the schedule, though a few key tasks must be completed by Friday evening (UK time) each week.

Key Responsibilities

• Attendance Tracking: Use the arenaxflex member management platform (formerly known as Trainerize) to record weekly attendance for every member.
• Plan Reconciliation: Compare recorded attendance against paid membership plans, flagging any discrepancies and preparing concise reports for the studio manager.
• Member Outreach: Send friendly, templated messages to members who have not attended any sessions during the week, encouraging them to re‑engage and offering support.
• Monthly Summary Preparation: Compile a basic attendance summary each month for internal review, highlighting trends, high‑performing members, and areas needing attention.
• Community Posting: Craft and post one engaging, motivational message each week in the arenaxflex Community Group (formerly Grit Community Group) to foster camaraderie and keep the conversation lively.
• Retention Support: Identify inactive members, conduct personalized check‑ins, and provide encouragement or resources to help them return to their fitness routine.
• Data Management: Keep client data, progress logs, and communication records organized, up‑to‑date, and compliant with data‑privacy standards.
• Collaboration: Work closely with coaches, the studio manager, and the marketing team to align messaging, share insights, and support overall studio objectives.

Essential Qualifications

• Proven experience using the arenaxflex member management platform (formerly Trainerize) for tracking attendance and managing member data.
• Exceptional written communication skills with a warm, professional tone that resonates with a diverse fitness audience.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy in data entry and reporting.
• Highly organized, self‑driven, and capable of establishing and following weekly routines without direct supervision.
• Demonstrated interest in health, fitness, or wellness—whether through personal practice, education, or prior work experience.
• Previous experience in a customer service, virtual assistant, or administrative role, preferably within a health‑oriented environment.

Preferred Qualifications & Additional Skills

• Familiarity with other fitness‑related software tools (e.g., Mindbody, Zen Planner) or CRM platforms.
• Basic understanding of fitness terminology, program structures, and common member goals.
• Experience crafting engaging social media or community‑group content that drives interaction.
• Ability to interpret simple data trends and present findings in an easy‑to‑understand format.
• Creative problem‑solving skills—especially when addressing member disengagement or attendance gaps.
• Comfort with remote collaboration tools such as Slack, Trello, or Asana.

Core Competencies for Success

• Empathy & Active Listening: Understanding member motivations and challenges to tailor supportive messages.
• Time Management: Prioritizing weekly tasks to meet Friday deadlines while maintaining high quality.
• Tech Savvy: Navigating the arenaxflex platform efficiently and troubleshooting minor technical issues.
• Communication Excellence: Writing clear, concise, and motivating copy for emails, messages, and community posts.
• Data Integrity: Ensuring all records are accurate, up‑to‑date, and securely stored.
• Growth Mindset: Eagerness to learn more about fitness trends, member engagement strategies, and operational best practices.
