Crunch Fitness has a new military-based fellowship and employment placement initiative designed for service members who are completing their active-duty commitment and wish to pursue a career as a personal trainer at the company.
Strengthened by Heroes fellows will have the opportunity to work three to five months with Crunch, with access to free education and certifications from sponsors including the National Academy of Sports Medicine, TRX, My Steady Mind, and dotFit. Participants will receive ultimate placement into a permanent role following the end of their service date.
“At Crunch, we recognize the sacrifice that military members make to join the armed forces and when asked to risk their lives to protect our freedom and country,” said Marine Corps veteran and CEO of Crunch Worldwide Jim Rowey.
Crunch has partnered with Transition Overwatch and the Department of Defense SkillBridge to tie the program into every Department of Defense facility and service academy.
‘Strengthened by Heroes’ fellows will receive gratis access to a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer Course (or other equivalent certification based on the current qualifications of the individual), TRX Digital Suspension Training Course, TRX Digicamo TRX Pro 4 Suspension Trainer, dotFIT Certified Trainer Course, dotFIT “Heroes” Nutritional Support product bundle, and a Cognitive Fitness Training Course from My Steady Mind, altogether retailing for over $2,000.
Crunch is known for its innovative group fitness programming and offers a wide range of activities across its gyms.
Active-duty military and soon-to-be veterans are eligible to apply here.
