Student Internships

Addie’s Personal Training Studio works with the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and San Diego State University (SDSU) to provide an internship program as part of their extended studies programs. UCSD’s program works closely with the American Council on Exercise (ACE) to prepare students for the field of personal training. SDSU’s offers it’s own Professional Certificate in Personal Fitness Training. The Addie’s Personal Training Studio internship program is designed to expose students to fitness professionals and the personal training they provide in a “real-world” environment.

We require our interns to spend at least 10 hours per week in the facility. They are provided with an educational checklist composed of various topics related to personal training (exercises, philosophies, fitness testing and evaluation, etc.). All interns must also complete a final examination prior to the conclusion of their internship. Our goal is to educate students as much as possible during their time with us.

If you are interested in our internship program, please send us your resume along with any additional questions you may have. Resumes may be sent as email-text, email-attachment (ASCII text or Word document), by using Addie's resume form or by U.S. mail.

April F., UCSD program


"Addie's Studio has provided me a great opportunity to learn about personal training and program design. I was able to shadow a variety of clientele, some with and others without limitations. The environment at Addie's is very friendly and hands-on and I appreciate every ones support as I have developed my skills as a personal trainer."

Ashley S., UCSD program


"My Addie’s internship experience greatly exceeded my expectations. The owners and staff were both very friendly and helpful. The education handouts were useful and the mock training sessions invaluable. Because of Addies’ internship program, I gained enough “real life” experience to begin a career as a personal trainer. Best of all, I was offered a job by Addie and Tyler shortly after completing my internship and so I got to begin my career here!"

Erica P., UCSD program


"I really enjoyed and recommend Addie's Studio for an internship program. Not only is it a fun and educational environment, but the studio is built on the foundation of being a non-intimidating establishment while providing interns with cutting edge fitness skills and knowledge.

During my internship I was able to shadow and train a variety of clientele from different age groups and with differing physical limitations. This helped me apply my book knowledge on actual people and also get a feel for the areas of population I'd most like to train. Each day was a new learning experience, and, as a bonus, my internship transferred into a full time position at Addie's Studio!"
