All required shadowing, training, preparation, meetings, and assigned work are paid. The weekly schedule will be agreed before you start. Week 1: Learn Anchor's coaching standards, client experience, session preparation, equipment setup, and safety procedures. Observe coached sessions and debrief with your mentor. Week 2: Assist with session preparation, exercise setup, warm-ups, and coaching cues under direct supervision. Practice accurate session notes and client communication.
