Personal Trainer Intern
About The Position
The Personal Trainer Career Accelerator Program (PTCAP) is a mentorship and internship program for aspiring personal trainers seeking hands-on experience in a professional studio before moving into a regular training role. It is intended for recently certified or graduated trainers, those who are soon to be certified or graduated, people having difficulty finding their first personal training role because they lack experience, and people passionate about fitness who want a path into the industry. The program begins with two weeks of observing experienced trainers and learning about client interaction, session flow, and studio operations. This phase is unpaid. During weeks three through six, interns assist with cleaning, administrative tasks, client check-ins, and light session support under supervision; contribution time is paid at an hourly administrative rate. During weeks six through twelve, interns gain hands-on experience co-leading programming, warmups, cooldowns, small session segments, assessments, and movement screens, with guidance to build coaching confidence. At the three-month review, the intern and studio decide whether to move into a personal trainer role, extend mentorship, or part ways if the arrangement is not a good fit. The program offers experience in a supportive environment, paid contributions while learning, and a potential pathway into a permanent personal training career.
