What is a strength intern?

Strength Interns are individuals, often students or recent graduates, who assist certified strength and conditioning coaches in designing and implementing training programs for athletes or clients. Their role typically includes helping with workout supervision, setting up equipment, tracking athlete progress, and learning about exercise science and coaching techniques. Strength Internships provide valuable hands-on experience in a professional setting, preparing interns for future careers in strength and conditioning, fitness training, or sports performance. These positions are often unpaid or stipend-based and may be required as part of a degree program in exercise science or a related field.
