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.

Shadow experienced trainers, learn client interaction, session flow, and studio operations. Unpaid: your investment in your own career growth
