At 3 Peaks CrossFit, we are passionate about mentoring individuals who desire to partner with us in our mission. Our Internship Program provides the opportunity we need to find like minded individuals. Our primary focus is to grow health and wellness, as a team, in our surrounding communities. We desire to change lives, and make a major impact. Our mission is to “be diligent in providing a positive culture, delivering the highest level of coaching and expertise to our members.”
As a team, we will have a positive professional attitude, strive to influence others in an impactful way, and passionately spread the importance of health and wellness to our community. As we grow our coaching staff, we are looking for the right fit. Individuals that hold the same passion and values for helping others, and growing the mission of 3 Peaks.
We are picky, and want only the best fit for our members and community. Not every athlete will make a great coach. Our Internship serves as a great opportunity for us to truly find the right fit. Our Internship process allows the right candidates to learn more about what it means to be a coach at 3 Peaks. It is not a guaranteed opportunity for further employment by 3 Peaks CrossFit, and requires dedication to self development, a learning heart, and positive attitude.
What We Are Looking For?
- People who see coaching as an opportunity to serve and help others, to make others successful above themselves. Not every athlete will be a good coach.
- Individuals who truly care about others and show it in their attitude and actions to others.
- People with a selfless mentality in regards to helping clients, the Team & 3 Peaks CrossFit.
- People with a positive attitude, takes direction, criticism & feedback well
- Commitment to the 3 Peaks Community with a desire to learn more about working at the gym as a coach.

Interns are referred to as Interns (not Coaches). We take the word Coach very serious here at 3 Peaks. Anyone can go and get a CrossFit Level 1 Cert. We are looking for Interns that care about growing as an individual and a potential coach, partnering with the overall mission of the company.
We are looking for Interns that will be an asset to our community.
