I am not sure, he seems like a manager of a specific gym location but he may manage other locations too. — user1602, May 07 '17 at 01:56
Is it really the boss of the place? If not (e. g. just someone in charge), then maybe just 係員? — Headcrab, Jun 14 '17 at 01:53

I'd say マネージャー (Manager) or 店長 (Store Manager). All the other words don't quite fit (except 支店長 (Branch Store Manager) or possibly 課長 (Department Manager)).
Basically the list contains lots of various job titles (think "VP", "Head of X", "Chairman" etc).
