Danielle started teaching group fitness more than 12 years ago and fell in love with teaching LesMills, step, Zumba, you name it. She was your typical group fitness and cardio junkie until she found real strength training at the age of 26. Less than a year later she stepped on stage and went Pro - only to still feel unhappy with herself and her body.

Fast forward to today and Danielle works with clients both online and in-person to not only achieve the body of their dreams, but the mindset and mental muscle needed to make exercise and healthy eating a lifelong pursuit.

In this episode of The Training Project Podcast, Joe Drake sits down with Pete Holman — Physical Therapist, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, published author, former U.S. National TaeKwon-Do champion & team captain, and 2022 IDEA Fitness Leader of the Year.

Pete has invented some of the most influential tools in modern fitness, including the TRX Rip Trainer, Nautilus Glute Drive, Escape Barrow, GolfForever Swing Trainer, and his latest creation, the Glute Slide. He’s also been featured on national shows like The Dr’s, Steve Harvey, The Golf Channel, and QVC, and is the #1 rated trainer on the GolfForever app.

In this conversation, Pete shares his journey from physical therapy and martial arts to global product innovation, the story of how the TRX Rip Trainer was born from a snowmobile racer’s needs, and why glute training is more than just a trend — it’s the powerhouse of athletic performance and longevity. Pete also discusses the future of fitness innovation, lessons for trainers and entrepreneurs, and why the long game of health and durability matters more than chasing extremes.

  • How Pete invented the TRX Rip Trainer from a closet rod and resistance band

  • Why rotational training is essential for athletes and everyday movers

  • The science of the glutes as the powerhouse of the core

  • How the Glute Drive and Glute Slide simplify hip and glute training for gyms and home users

  • Training insights for pro athletes vs. general population clients — and what actually carries over

  • Why focusing on longevity, durability, and performance beats chasing extremes

  • Pete’s best advice for trainers, coaches, and entrepreneurs building their careers

In this episode of The Training Project Podcast, Joe Drake sits down with Clif Harski — fitness educator, movement coach, and Director of Education for the Pain-Free Performance Training System (PPSC) — to break down what it takes to stay strong, athletic, and pain-free for decades.

With over 15 years of experience teaching certifications around the world for brands like PPSC, FitWall, MovNat, and Kettlebell Athletics, Clif has personally certified thousands of coaches and helped reshape how the industry thinks about functional training.

Clif and Joe dive into what separates good training from great training, why you don’t need “perfect” periodization to get results, and how simple consistency and smart movement can keep you performing for the long game.

  • Why Clif may have taught more fitness certifications than anyone in the industry

  • His journey from college athlete → Trader Joe’s employee → international educator

  • The “Be Able & Be Athletic” framework for programming

  • How to balance 70 % consistency + 30 % variety for long-term results

  • Why most people don’t need rigid periodization to get stronger

  • How to safely add eccentric & isometric training for power and resilience

  • Training tweaks that keep you athletic in your 40s and 50s

  • The truth about kettlebells vs. barbells and dumbbells (and what most people get wrong)

  • The most overrated and underrated exercises in fitness

  • How the Pain-Free Performance Training System helps coaches bridge the gap between performance & longevity


Clif Harski is a performance coach, educator, and fitness industry veteran known for blending athletic training with movement quality and humor. He’s worked with leading organizations including Pain-Free Performance (PPSC), FitWall, MovNat, and Kettlebell Athletics, and has personally taught 500+ certifications worldwide.

Alex has built an incredible career spanning TV, entrepreneurship, and personal training, and his philosophy flips the script on what fitness really means.

They dive deep into why “fat loss isn’t the goal,” how empathy and communication shape coaching success, and why strength training is at the heart of longevity. From pre- and postnatal training to creating global fitness travel experiences with Surf Yoga Beer, Alex shares a refreshingly real take on what it means to help people live stronger, fuller lives.

  • Why “fat loss” misses the point — and what the real goal should be

  • How to coach with empathy and build a lasting career in fitness

  • The trap of exercise “entertainment” vs. real skill development

  • The rise of strength training for women and breaking the “skinny” mindset

  • The power of teaching clients self-sufficiency instead of dependence

  • Why in-person coaching still beats digital — and always will

  • Building confidence through strength and the ripple effect beyond the gym

  • The story behind Alex’s work with new moms and pre/postnatal fitness

  • Fitness as connection: how Surf Yoga Beer is redefining wellness travel

  • The “Turn Left” philosophy — choosing growth over comfort

“Fat loss is a great sales point — but real progress starts when we build strength, not just chase smaller numbers.”

“Empathy and accountability outlast every trend in fitness.”

“There’s no substitute for human interaction — coaching in person is irreplaceable.”

“Turn left. That’s where growth happens.”

Tony is what we would call an "OG" and has been in the fitness industry since the early 2000's. As one of the original partners and founders of Cressey Performance, Tony has worked with everyone from high level athletes to the everyday person who wants to learn how to crush barbell training.

When he’s not picking things up and putting them down himself, he trains people at his studio, CORE, located in Boston, MA. He also contributes to the top fitness magazines and websites around, and sets up a camera in his garage to record his lightsaber skills.

He lives in Boston. With his wife, Lisa, and son, Julian. And cat, Dagny. Despite his massive level of experience and knowledge - Tony has a knack for keeping things simple. So whether you are a brand new coach or someone with years of experience you are going to take something great away from this conversation with Tony. Tune in and let us know what you think!

🔥 Prepare to be Inspired! 🔥


In this podcast episode I sat down with none other than Jay, the co-founder of GRND House, a high-end group training, online, and wearable technology brand based in the heart of London.

From idolizing professional footballers and NBA stars to becoming a leading force in the fitness world, Jay's journey is one of passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Growing up with a deep admiration for athletic legends, Jay gravitated towards gymnastics as his chosen sport. But little did he know that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary adventure. Fueled by the belief that mediocrity was simply not an option, Jay set his sights on an even greater challenge - joining the prestigious Royal Marines Commandos.

Jay's transition into fitness wasn't a smooth one and we got to talk about some of his major failures and lessons along the way - including how his brand was born out of the pandemic and being let go from his job. Fast forward to today, and Jay stands as a true force to be reckoned with in the fitness industry.

With a remarkable track record that boasts an impressive array of clients, including celebrities and everyday fitness enthusiasts (yes, even his own mom!), Jay brings an infectious positive energy that will leave you motivated and ready to conquer your goals. In this exclusive interview, Jay spills the beans on his secrets to success, the driving philosophy behind Grnd House, and how he empowers individuals to rise above challenges, both physically and mentally.

Rob has built an amazing community and brand locally here in South Florida, but it didn't come easy or fast. Robert shares some of his struggles and successes getting started as a personal trainer in a big box gym, how he got involved with Ellen during the birth of Orange Theory Fitness, and what he looks for in new trainers looking to break into the industry. We also got to hang out with the PIT mascot, Robs's furry friend Delilah, so for those who check out the video version of the podcast here on Spotify or over on YouTube let me know if you spot her shining moment (ha!). People like Rob and his team are what make the fitness industry so great - am excited for you to connect and learn from him more in this episode.
