Who we are

A premium personal training practice for adults who value expertise, attention, accountability, and a smarter long-term approach.

What we believe

Your body is a lifelong project. Training should help you build strength and capacity for everything you want to do outside the gym.

What makes us different

We do not sell access to equipment. We deliver coaching, structure, and progression tailored to the person in front of us.

Personal training & coaching

Training built around you — not around a class schedule.

Whether you want private personal training or a small semi-private setting, the standard is the same: thoughtful programming, attentive coaching, and steady progress.

01

Private 1-on-1 Personal Training

Individual coaching for clients who want the highest level of attention. Your program is built around your goals, training history, schedule, movement needs, and current capacity.

02

Semi-Private Personal Training

Small-group coaching for 3–6 people. You get the energy and community of training with others while still receiving individualized coaching and purposeful progression.

03

Strength & Longevity Training

Build strength, muscle, mobility, balance, conditioning, and confidence so your training supports a capable life now — and years from now.

04

Post-Rehab Return-to-Training

For people who have completed rehabilitation or have been cleared to exercise and need a thoughtful bridge back to strength training, confidence, and normal activity.

Why The Training Project

People don’t come here to use a gym. They come here to be coached.

Great personal training is more than counting reps. It is knowing what to do, why you are doing it, when to push, when to adjust, and how to keep progressing through the realities of work, family, travel, stress, old injuries, and changing goals.

  • Individualized programming instead of random workouts
  • High-touch coaching in a private, professional setting
  • Progressions and modifications based on how you actually move
  • Training designed to improve life outside the four walls of the gym
  • Experienced coaches who care about the details and the relationship
Train for life. The gym is a means to an end: more strength, confidence, freedom, and capacity for the life you want to live.

Who we coach

Serious coaching for real life.

You do not have to be an athlete to train like your health matters. We work best with adults who want expert guidance and a sustainable plan rather than another short-term fitness kick.

Busy professionals

Efficient, purposeful training with a coach who handles the planning so your limited training time actually counts.

Adults training for longevity

Strength and movement work designed to help you stay active, resilient, and physically capable as you get older.

Former athletes & active adults

Structured training that respects your history while helping you perform better in golf, tennis, running, travel, recreation, and everyday life.

Returning after injury or rehab

A gradual return to strength and confidence after medical rehabilitation or once you have been cleared by your healthcare provider to exercise.

How it works

A coaching process built around progress.

You do not need to know exactly what you need before reaching out. We start with a conversation and build from there.

Step 01

Start with a conversation

We learn what you want to accomplish, what you have tried before, what is getting in the way, and what a realistic training schedule looks like.

Step 02

Assess & build your plan

We look at your training history, movement, needs, and goals, then decide whether private or semi-private coaching is the right fit.

Step 03

Train with a coach

Your coach manages the details: exercise selection, technique, loading, progression, modifications, and the day-to-day decisions that matter.

Step 04

Keep building

Training evolves as you do. We keep adjusting the project so your program continues to fit your body, goals, and life.

Experience matters

Founded by coach and educator Joe Drake.

Joe has spent roughly two decades coaching clients and educating personal trainers. His work has centered on one principle: the best training is not the flashiest — it is the training that is expertly coached, appropriately progressed, and sustainable enough to improve someone’s life for years.

As a NASM Master Instructor and longtime fitness educator, Joe brings an educator’s eye to every part of The Training Project: assessment, programming, coaching standards, and the development of the coaches who work under the brand.

The goal is bigger than a great workout. It is to build a team of coaches people in Boca Raton can trust with their strength, health, and physical capability for the long term.

Personal training FAQs

Good to know before you start.

Is The Training Project an open gym membership?

No. The Training Project is a coaching business. There is no membership where people simply come in and use equipment on their own. Training is coach-led and by appointment.

What is the difference between private and semi-private personal training?

Private training is 1-on-1 with your coach. Semi-private training typically includes 3–6 people training at the same time, with coaching and programming still tailored to each person rather than everyone doing the exact same class workout.

Do you work with beginners or people who have not trained in years?

Yes. Good coaching starts where you are. We adjust exercise selection, volume, load, and pace to your current ability and build from there.

Do you offer post-rehab personal training?

Yes, for appropriate clients who have completed rehabilitation or have been cleared by their healthcare provider to return to exercise. Training is not a substitute for physical therapy or medical care.

Is this only for athletes?

No. The Training Project is primarily built for adults who want to be stronger, healthier, more capable, and better prepared for the demands of real life.

Where do you train clients?

The Training Project is based in Boca Raton, Florida and training is by appointment. Reach out and we will walk you through the current training setup and best option for you.
