Are you interested in becoming a San Francisco CrossFit coach? Do you want to spend some time at San Francisco CrossFit to learn from Kelly Starrett and our team of world-class coaches? San Francisco CrossFit offers an intensive coaching internship program where you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the best.

Please note that priority for positions in the program is given to coaches who want to become part of our San Francisco CrossFit staff.

Overview:

The coach training program at SFCF is a rigorous course designed to get you dialed up and ready to coach our group classes on your own. Our training program generally lasts 3-4 months if you shadow part-time, and 2 months if you shadow full-time.

We do have a cut-off of 4 months to complete your hours. Anyone who does not finish those hours in the allotted time will not be eligible for employment at SFCF unless otherwise organized with the head coach during the interview process. We are looking for people who are passionate and committed to the San Francisco CrossFit community and ready to get to work!

Please note, we are unable to provide CEU’s or class credits for the internship.

Required Shadowing/Assistant Coaching Hours: 160 Hours

This will primarily involve shadowing group classes, 1-on-1s, and Basics Classes. Trainees are required to keep detailed records of their hours (which classes and which coaches they shadowed) and balance their time between the different coaches. Weekly in-person check-ins with your training group and the head coach are required. We seek out individuals who can take initiative, are excited, and are ready to learn.

During the time that you are a trainee, you will continue to pay for an unlimited membership (of your choosing).
