CHALKBOX Coaching Internship Programme

CHALKBOX Coaching Internship Programme

Interested in becoming a CrossFit coach?

This September, we are launching our first 3-Month Coaching Internship Programme for CHALKBOX members who are interested in learning how to become a confident and capable coach.

The Programme

  • Starts: Second week of September

  • Duration: 3 months

  • Places: Maximum of 3 committed members

  • Initially approximately 1 hour per week

  • Days/times will be confirmed with the successful applicants

What You'll Learn

Over the three months we will work through the key skills needed to become a great coach, including:

  • Understanding and teaching the fundamental CrossFit movements

  • How to explain and demonstrate movements clearly

  • Spotting and correcting common movement faults

  • Scaling and adapting workouts for different abilities

  • Running an effective warm-up

  • Class organisation and time management

  • Communicating confidently with members

  • Creating a positive class atmosphere

  • Safety and good coaching practice

  • Understanding what makes a great CHALKBOX coach

How It Will Work

Stage 1 – Learn
Weekly practical coaching sessions where we teach and practise the fundamentals.

Stage 2 – Test
There will be a short practical assessment/test after each section before progressing.

Stage 3 – Shadow
As the programme progresses, interns will begin shadowing experienced CHALKBOX coaches during real classesand putting their skills into practice.

Stage 4 – Coach
Towards the end of the programme, successful interns will have opportunities to practise coaching sections of a class under supervision.

What Happens Afterwards?

We cannot guarantee full-time or regular employment at CHALKBOX.

However, we are looking to develop a small pool of great coaches who may be able to:

  • Coach a few hours each month

  • Provide cover when our regular coaches are away

  • Potentially take on additional coaching opportunities as they become available

For the right people, this could be the first step towards gaining real coaching experience and developing further within the fitness industry.

Interested?

We only have 3 places available for our first intake.

We are looking for members who are enthusiastic, reliable, willing to learn and genuinely interested in coaching others.
