Overview
Personal Trainer Career Accelerator Program (PTCAP)
Launch your PT career with real-world experience
What is it?
Our PTCAP is a combination mentorship/internship program designed for aspiring personal trainers who want hands-on experience in a professional studio environment before stepping into a regular training role. This is your opportunity to learn, grow, and test the waters of a personal training career — without the pressure of a major commitment.
Who is it for?
- Recently certified/graduated or soon-to-be certified/graduated trainers
- Those struggling to land their first PT role due to lack of experience
- Anyone passionate about fitness who wants a clear path into the industry
How It Works
Phase 1: Observation & Learning (Weeks 1–2)
Shadow experienced trainers, learn client interaction, session flow, and studio operations. Unpaid: your investment in your own career growth
Phase 2: Helping & Contributing (Weeks 3–6)
Assist with studio tasks: cleaning, admin, client check-ins. Begin light session support under supervision.
Paid an hourly administrative rate for contribution time
Phase 3: Hands-On Experience (Weeks 6–12)
Co-lead programming, warmups, cooldowns, small session segments, assessments and movement screens. Build coaching confidence with guidance.
Review Point (3 months): We’ll sit down together and decide the next step — moving into a PT role, extending mentorship, or parting ways if it’s not the right fit.
Why Join?
- Gain real-world experience in a supportive environment
- Build confidence before stepping into a client-facing role
- Get paid for your contributions while you learn
- A proven pathway into a permanent PT career
