About The Position

The Personal Trainer Career Accelerator Program at Fitness Together in Lynnfield, MA, is a structured, mentorship-driven experience for individuals preparing for a professional career in personal training. This is not a traditional internship. Interns will be immersed in a private, one-on-one training environment, working alongside experienced coaches to develop real-world skills in movement assessment, program design, client communication, and behavior-based coaching. The focus is on effective client coaching rather than just workout prescription. Fitness Together specializes in working with adult clients in a private suite setting, emphasizing accountability, personalization, and long-term progress. Interns will gain exposure to real client scenarios and learn to deliver a high-level coaching experience in a professional, appointment-based environment. Interns pursuing certification will have access to a discounted NASM Certified Personal Trainer pathway. This program is ideal for candidates serious about building a career in fitness and ready for practical application. Top-performing interns may be considered for future employment.
