I highly recommend the Strength Camp Internship program for anyone considering a career or side hustle in the fitness industry.  

‍

When I first completed my Personal Trainer Certification, I intended on using the knowledge gained to support my Health Coaching clients, but I had not even thought about working as a trainer in a gym. I just wanted to confidently incorporate more movement and strength training recommendations and resources to help clients reach their personal health goals. I had been working out regularly at Strength Camp when Coach Pat learned about my Certification and encouraged me to consider the internship program.

‍

The Strength Camp internship program gave me valuable insights into how a gym is operated, how the programming comes together, and how the coaches set the tone and energy for the class. I was able to take the text from my textbooks and put it into practice. I was able to work with, and learn from, coaches with very different backgrounds and coaching styles and I got to know members who regularly work out during times I previously never attended. The experience allowed me to practice, get regular feedback, and develop my own coaching style in a safe and supportive environment.

‍

The internship opened my eyes, and made possible, a career that I had not dared to imagine myself even considering. I now coach Strength Camp classes four days a week and offer personal training for members and clients between classes. Thank you Strength Camp for the amazing internship opportunity!
