This is a 16-week internship opportunity for the spring, summer, or fall semester. We are seeking students who are eager to apply the skills they learned in school and who are passionate about helping others reach their full potential in their fitness journey.

For this program, we use the title Fitness Associate because this role is more than a typical internship. It is an immersive hands-on position that plays an essential role towards our guests achieving their health, weight loss, and fitness goals. We believe in the importance of hands-on learning through our 3-step training program consisting of shadowing, co-teaching, and leading. We encourage individuality and grant fitness associates the opportunity to create and teach their own classes.

Fitness Associates learn something new each week by observing experienced professionals in each dimension of wellness (Fitness, Nutrition, Psychology, etc…). In addition, working with different guests from all over the country (sometimes world), with fitness abilities ranging between a recreational athlete to a first-time exerciser.
