Fit At Work Hiring! Full Time (Internship) Strength - Conditioning Coach in Pulau Pinang - Ricebowl

️ STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH INTERN

Fit At Work x JX Fundamentals

Location: Penang Island, Malaysia

Company: JX Fundamentals & Fit At Work

This is an apprenticeship-style internship designed for individuals serious about becoming strength & conditioning coaches.

ABOUT JX FUNDAMENTALS & FIT AT WORK

Founded in 2020, JX Fundamentals is a Penang-based boutique gym focused on helping people move, train, and live pain-free. We work with everyday adults, athletes, and recreational movers through personal training, group classes, sports and massage therapy, and nutrition support.

Fit At Work is our corporate wellness arm that delivers structured strength training, movement education, and long-term health programs to companies across Malaysia.

We work with everyday people, athletes, and corporate teams who want to get stronger, move better, and stay active for life. If you believe training should be a lifestyle improvement and not an Instagram aesthetic, you’ll fit right in.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Strength & Conditioning Coach Intern who’s curious, coachable, and serious about learning the craft of coaching.

This is a hands-on internship. You’ll be on the gym floor observing sessions, shadowing coaches, and gradually learning how to coach individuals and groups safely and effectively.

You will be trained in:

• Movement fundamentals

• Strength training principles

• Group class coaching

• Client communication and coaching cues

As a Strength & Conditioning Coach Intern, you will:

• Assist and shadow coaches during sessions (personal training, group classes, and corporate fitness sessions)

• Learn to coach movement: squats, hinges, pushes, pulls, carries, and basic conditioning work

• Support class setup and breakdown, including equipment preparation and safety checks

• Observe and reflect on how experienced coaches cue, regress/progress movements, and manage groups

• Contribute to a positive gym culture through professionalism, punctuality, and care for members

This role is ideal if you’re considering a future in coaching, sports performance, rehab, or health and fitness education.

WHO YOU ARE

• Penang-based and able to attend in-person sessions when scheduled (shadowing, assisting, or events)

• Currently studying or recently graduated in Sports Science, Sports Nutrition, Exercise Science, Health Science, OR a non-science major with a genuine passion for training and coaching

• Have basic knowledge of gym movements (you don’t need to be an expert, just not clueless)

• Comfortable being corrected, coached, and challenged

• Reliable, observant, and willing to start from the fundamentals

Bonus if you:

• Train regularly yourself

• Enjoy learning why things work, not just copying workouts

• Are curious about coaching as a long-term path (not just free gym access)

TRAINING & MENTORSHIP

• Structured on-the-job training

• Exposure to real-world coaching (not textbook theory)

• Shadowing experienced strength & conditioning coaches

• Clear pathway to higher responsibility based on competence and professionalism

No prior coaching experience required. Training is provided.

COMPENSATION & PROGRESSION

• This is an unpaid internship focused on structured learning and real-world coaching exposure

• Interns will be paid for attending in-person events, workshops, or corporate campaigns they support

• As competence and trust are demonstrated, interns may progress to paid coaching sessions when coaching independently

• Clear expectations and progression benchmarks will be communicated from the start

PERKS & BENEFITS

• Remote-first, hybrid setup. In-person attendance is required only when shadowing coaches, assisting sessions, or supporting events

• ️ Gym access and participation in training sessions

• Real coaching experience (not coffee-fetching intern work)

• Structured mentorship and coaching development opportunities

• Clear progression pathway to paid sessions and potential part-time or full-time coaching roles based on performance

INCLUSIVE EMPLOYER STATEMENT
