Past Interns




My internship experience at CrossFit Spokane has been an undeniably beneficial experience. Coming into it I wasn’t really sure what to expect but coming out at the end of the summer I realize that my expectations were far exceeded. I was challenged both mentally and physically with the workouts but more importantly I was taught how to become confident as a trainer. After the first couple of weeks I was put right into the teaching position where I would train full classes and sometimes come up with the workout program that was taught. You can’t normally get that kind of experience as a student intern. I learned a lot about body mechanics and preventative exercises as well as strength and conditioning program design among other things. The multiple facets of things that you learn in the program are not normally found all in one place and I would recommend the internship program for anyone pursuing a degree in health and fitness!
