Spartafit Internship PROGRAMME Auckland
It’s very difficult to employ someone academically sounds and usually fit into a “normal gym” environment because SPARTAFIT regimens are so unique.
Only by exposing yourself to the training and environments for a time period will you be able to understand it.
What you will receive are:
- complimentary membership worth $250 per month because you are required to attend training sessions minimum of 2 sessions per week.
- Weekly mentoring meeting.
- Opportunity to assist in group classes
- A chance to practice the craft you’ve learnt.
- A possibility to coach our members or/ and setting up your personal training business at the completion of your internship.
What are required from you.
- Although the learning never stops, the official internship will run for a duration of 3 months, you choose to allocate the number of hours you can commit during this period, again, the learning never stop, regardless of your time in the industry.
- While you are an intern you shall have an open mind to the tasks that are given. Because every single bit counts and we have all been there, whether it’s marketing, presentation, interacting with strangers, selling, training and motivating people of all ages and sizes.
- There are an infinite amount of knowledge in this space and you shall never be comfortable with your status quo. Never be a predictable trainer because a complacent trainer has no future in this business. You need to think long term.
- It is a rare and special opportunity for the right person, it is obviously very valuable both in monetary terms and for your personal growth, to put things in perspective, you can go study a personal training course and spend upward of $6 to $8 grand but come out with no real experience in an actual business, which is futile.
- 100% dedication and involvement = success.
Our internship program has been created to develop the next generation of coaches that are both knowledgeable in the instruction of techniques and capable of teaching fun and valuable SPARTA/SPARTABox classes.
Also, you will become proficient in the following;
- ESTABLISHING THE ROLE OF COACH AND ATHLETE/LIFTER AND WHY THAT’S SO IMPORTANT
- HOW TO BE CORRECTIVE AND EFFECTIVE IN YOUR COACHING CUES
- CUES TO AVOID
- HOW TO ASSESS AN INDIVIDUAL BASED ON THEIR KNOWN PHYSICAL ABILITIES
- HOW TO ASSESS AN INDIVIDUAL TO DISCOVER CURRENTLY UNKNOWN ABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS

“I have really enjoyed my internship with the team at SPARTAFIT, they are a great bunch of coaches who strive to better every person who walks through the door. Working along side DJ And Suga has been very beneficial for me, they have drastically improved my coaching ability and have taught me how to be a better group trainer by providing positive feedback of how I can strive to better my coaching approach. I look forward to continuing my internship and developing my programming and coaching skills and helping the awesome members of SPARTAFIT achieve their fitness goals.”
– Regan, AUT
“I have learnt a lot of skills during my time interning at SPARTAFIT such as new weight training movements and how best to interact with clients. My favourite thing about working at PF is seeing the changes and improvements from week to week with all members and kids as they learn new movements and increase their strength. I have also been teaching rowing techniques to those at SPARTAFIT and its rewarding to share my knowledge with others, watch them learn something new and thrive at the challenge.“

During this time, I have learned how to perform and teach new skills and strategies to clients and have gained first-hand experience applying the skills I learned at university and started to discover and improve my coaching style.
If you join the internship with a strong work ethic and a desire to learn and apply everything you have learned through hard work, you’ll emerge as a more valuable member of the industry. Doing the internship program at SPARTAFIT does not only just teach you about fitness and coaching it also makes you more disciplined and more self-aware which are very important traits to have.
After finishing my placement at SPARTAFIT I have gained not only coaching experience but have gained discipline, Self-awareness and better people skills which are all important traits to have especially in the fitness industry. If you are looking at becoming the best version of yourself I highly recommend joining the SPARTAFIT internship programme.“
