Personal Trainer/Strength Coach Internship

BridgeFit Personal Training | Adults 40+

If you are serious about becoming a professional personal trainer and/or strength coach, this internship is for you.

This 12-week internship is a structured development program designed to prepare coaches to work with real clients, uphold high coaching standards, and grow into professionals in the fitness industry. We coach adults 40+, which means communication, attention to detail, and professionalism matter just as much as exercise knowledge.

This is not a “clean equipment and observe” internship. Interns are expected to show up prepared, be coachable, take feedback seriously, and actively develop their coaching skills in a real training environment.

We have been voted Best Personal Training in Johnson County for three consecutive years, and most of our coaching staff has come through our internship program.
