ARE YOU READY TO HELP PEOPLE AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE?

 

Training is more than exercises, programs and eating out of tupperware. Learn the keys to training clients and getting results. Experience how the fitness business can give you the lifestyle you want!

 

HERE IS WHAT YOU'LL LEARN 

  • Learn how to assess and correct major injuries and problems in fitness

  • Program design for all fitness goals and levels of commitment 

  • How to actually get clients to train (and even pay you!)

  • How to coach clients to modify behaviors so they get lasting results.

  • How to be a Coach vs Trainer. ”Anyone can make someone tired, but not everyone can make you better!”

  • How to sell training and feel good about it 

  • Blog and content creation

  • Business Systems 

  • HOW TO ACUTALLY MAKE A CAREER OUT OF FITNESS.  IT IS A REAL JOB. 

Before you get excited and apply read this over.

 

All Applicants:

  • Must be outgoing, fun loving , and passionate about helping people

  • Must be willing to practice what you preach, (don’t care if you are in shape, but you will be when you are done)

  • Must be coachable (if you know it all then don’t apply)

  • Must be willing to take feedback and constructive criticism

  • If you are flakey, lazy, etc DO NOT APPLY.  We will put a ton of time and work into you, I expect the same

  • Must be ok with participating with random sing alongs and dance parties that pop up in the gym 

 

You will be coaching and interacting with clients in a controlled setting.  This is not the go make coffee and empty trashes internship… YOU WILL COACH and HAVE FUN!

​

One of the goals of this internship is to find our next coach who possibly will start working at CFP after the internship is over.

It’d be better to call the internship an apprenticeship because we’ll be coaching you to become the best coach you can be. We’ll feature real, significant education and real time with clients in the gym. But only apply if you want to have fun and have a passion to learn.

 

As an intern, you would have the opportunity to compliment your hands-on learning experience with participation in our staff meetings in which we focus on continuing education in a classroom-style learning environment. We work closely with our interns to develop coaching, assessment and program-design skill sets to compliment career aspirations within the fitness industry.

 

See the fitness business from the inside, which is much more than “sell, train, sell.” See how it is relationships and motivation.

 

This internship is set up to do two things.

 

1. Create the perfect coach to possibly work at Chicago Fit Performance but even more important

2. Put you on the path to making this a career.  

 

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IN THE WORLD.  

WE CHANGE LIVES!!!
