Retail Sales Floor
You’re also part of the in-store team—delivering an exceptional customer experience every single day.

Deliver Fit2Run’s signature customer experience: measure, scan, fit, and perform gait analysis for every customer

Ensure every customer in the store is acknowledged and assisted
What You Bring
A genuine passion for running, fitness, and community connection
Natural relationship-building and networking ability
Strong organization and event coordination skills
Flexibility to work evenings and weekends (that’s when the community shows up!)
Comfort with social media and promoting events (a plus)
High energy, positivity, and a people-first mindset
Retail experience preferred—but personality and passion go a long way
Why This Role Matters
