Virgin Active South Africa is looking for a Sales Consultant at its Boksburg K90 club in Johannesburg South. This is a permanent sales role for a confident, target-driven person who enjoys helping people start a more active life. Applications close on 3 November 2026, so the window is short and interested candidates should apply promptly through the original advert.
About the company and the work
Virgin Active is one of South Africa’s best-known health club groups, built around inspiring people to live active lives. Its clubs combine exercise facilities with a social, welcoming atmosphere, and the sales team plays a central role in growing each club. The purpose of this role is to help the club reach its monthly sales goals, both individually and as a team, by promoting Virgin Active as the preferred choice in the fitness industry. As a Sales Consultant at Boksburg K90, you will meet prospective members, learn what matters to them, and match them with a membership that suits their lifestyle, while building the kind of trust that keeps members coming back.
Role details and duties
Your days will be planned in advance. You will generate new leads, book appointments and present to customers with the aim of reaching and exceeding a pre-defined sales target. You will record all activity inputs using the tools and systems provided by Virgin Active, within the required timelines, and you will follow the company’s sales processes and systems closely.
Product knowledge matters in this role. You will maintain up-to-date, comprehensive knowledge of Virgin Active products and how they compare with competitors, so that you can answer questions honestly and confidently. You will expand the customer base and strengthen the loyalty of existing customers through service calls, understand each prospective member’s individual interests and requirements, build rapport and match their needs to the right offering, and close sales by overcoming objections, with support from the Sales Manager or Regional Sales Coach where needed.
You will also report to the Sales Manager on reviews, objectives and planned activities, review and analyse sales data and statistics to plan effectively for the future, take part in sales meetings by sharing best practice and ideas, and help inform the local community about Virgin Active by activating unique local marketing opportunities.
Requirements
According to the advert, applicants need a Matric qualification, which is essential, and a relevant tertiary qualification in Sales and Marketing is preferred. You will need a minimum of two years’ experience in the sales industry, promotion and sales skills to sell the Virgin Active product and service effectively, and a proven track record of sales performance. The role also calls for the ability to plan daily activities to maximise results, build and maintain rapport with key customers and identify new opportunities, and strong telephone communication and listening skills.
Excellent communication, interpersonal and leadership skills are essential, and you must be confident, polite and aware of general matters taking place in the industry. The advert also asks for a customer-centric approach, the ability to analyse the market and use data to penetrate it effectively, financial astuteness and an understanding of sales budgets, proven experience in customer relationship management, adherence to company systems and processes, and excellent client relationship building skills across all customer demographics.
The advert lists further qualities it would like to see, including adaptability in a fast-paced, changing environment, curiosity and a willingness to learn and grow, a winning mentality, motivation to achieve success, a commitment to making a difference in people’s lives, a growth mindset, the ability to work independently, trustworthiness, a drive to create moments of magic for members, decision-making and ownership, and action orientation. Wellness knowledge beyond the health club, the ability to make quick and bold decisions, agility, collaboration and high interpersonal skills are also welcomed.

Practical tips
Before you apply, prepare a CV that shows your sales track record clearly, with targets achieved, conversion results and any experience in fitness, retail or hospitality. Think of examples where you planned your week to hit a target, handled an objection calmly, or turned a once-off enquiry into a loyal customer. If you are invited for an interview, be ready to talk about how you would welcome a first-time visitor to the Boksburg K90 club and how you keep yourself motivated when targets are demanding.
