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.

What You Can Expect

• A structured 12-week curriculum — not just shadowing, but actual skill development
• Hands-on coaching experience with adults 40+ in a real training environment

What We Expect From You
