Internships
Become an Intern
At Contemporary Athlete we are here to create an empowering Fitness Experience. We want Contemporary Athlete to be the best part of our member’s day, every day!
An internship at Contemporary Athlete will present you with the opportunity to experience hands-on, individualized coaching with a wide range of clients every day. Each intern will have the chance to coach high school and collegiate athletes, as well as our ranged adult client base, become more familiar with the intricacies of program design, and observe and assist a variety of professional development opportunities under the supervision of our qualified staff of strength & conditioning coaches.
As a CA intern, you would have the opportunity to compliment your hands-on learning experience with participation in our weekly Staff In-Service, which focuses on continuing education in a classroom-style learning environment. We work closely with our internship participants to develop coaching, assessment and program-design skill sets to compliment career aspirations within the fitness industry.
Additionally, all interns are provided with staff gear/training apparel, and will be granted free participation in any seminars/mentorship hosted here at our facility during their time with us.
