Kimmage, Dublin
Summary
Hi my name is Karl Gobl and I am a ten-year veteran of the fitness industry. Having a keen interest in fitness, health and wellbeing from an early age, led me into multiple educational courses and work positions within the fitness industry. Following a degree in Leisure Management and qualifying as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I worked my way up the ladder to become the General Manager for RAW Gyms in 2019.
I am passionate about working with people and delivering exceptional standards. I believe in providing a quality experience through outstanding customer service, first - rate products and ambitious individuals. I implement regular employee training and assessments and introduced employee development plans, increasing employee motivation, performance and retention. Since the opening of RAW Gyms in 2019, I have increased RAWs overall class quantity by 64% and implemented new personal training standards to boost PT revenue from 20 sessions to 100 sessions per week.
Right now, I am looking to take on a new challenge. I am always looking to improve, grow and develop as an individual. Loving my time in RAW, I believe the next chapter awaits.
