CF-L1 Internship: Program Overview
The environment created by a CrossFit gym places unique demands on an instructor, and we expect that all of our trainers have the ability to adapt and place their athletes in a position to progress and succeed both mentally and physically. To ensure the highest level of attention is given to our athletes, F3 Athletics requires an extensive Internship Program before we agree to let an individual lead a class.
At F3 Athletics, we identify a qualified coach as someone who can demonstrate adequate knowledge pertaining to the 9 foundational movements of CrossFit and all of the CrossFit methodology. A qualified coach should be able to teach, see and correct movements with a relentless attitude, at the same time as being caring and understanding of client’s needs.
To be accepted into the CF-L1 Internship program, potential applicants must write a letter or submit a video addressed to the Director of Operations/Head Coach describing their background in sports, what CrossFit means to them and why they would like to work atF3 Athletics will evaluate and respond to the applicant in a timely manner.
The focus of this program is to give the potential coach the tools and knowledge necessary to excel as a CrossFit Level-1 Trainer, and will allow us to evaluate the potential coach’s performance and knowledge, and understanding of the CrossFit culture.
The CF-L1 Internship is broken into five phases:

- 10 hours of assistant coaching CrossFit classes
- 10 hours of coaching classes under direct supervision of the Head Coach
After each phase the Potential Coach will have an assessment meeting with the Director of Operations/Head Coach to review their performance, and will be given valuable feedback on how to improve for the next session. We expect the potential coach to take all advice seriously and to demonstrate constant improvement from session to session.
The Head Coach will have the following three options moving forward:
