Personal Trainer/Strength Coach Internship

INTERNSHIP | OVERLAND PARK, KS Coaching Internship Program 12 Weeks • BridgeFit Personal Training • Adults 40+ Most internships have you cleaning equipment and watching from the corner. This one isn’t that. If you’re serious about becoming a professional coach — not just someone who runs sessions — this 12-week program is built for you. You’ll work with real clients, get real feedback, and develop the skills that actually matter in a coaching career. We coach adults 40+, which means communication, attention to detail, and professionalism matter just as much as exercise knowledge. You’ll be held to a high standard here — and that’s exactly the point. BridgeFit has been voted Best Personal Training in Johnson County three years in a row. Most of our coaching staff came through this program. Strong performance may lead to part-time or full-time employment. Hiring is based on performance, growth, and current staffing needs — not guaranteed, but it’s happened more often than not.
