A Complete Program to Working Out and Achieving Fitness Goals
Why this program gets great results!
We realize that you are more than just a workout or nutrition client. We analyze how you’re feeling, your sleep, your stress, and your energy to personally coach you in those areas. This will help you break through anything that might be stopping you!
Are you struggling with…
Losing/gaining weight…
The equation can be more complex than just working out more and eating less. It’s possible that you need to optimize your sleep, or eat more protein. We will look at all of that!
Eating the right foods that make you look AND feel good…
We work with you to find your ideal body weight and set you up with a macro based plan to reach your goals. Not only that, but we check-in with you each week to make adjustments based on your results.
Knowing how to avoid injuries…
Each daily workout includes a coaching video that shows you AND explains exactly how to perform each movement. As well as how to adjust the movement if you are having trouble.
Knowing, for a fact, that you are doing things right!
No more needing to endlessly search Google for answers that you might never find, or know how you interpret. Our very knowledgeable team is always an email or Facebook message away
Our goal
To positively impact as many people as possible through fitness, nutrition, health, and life coaching. If you’d like to be part of something great, we’d love to work with you!
Personalized Optimization
Each week we send you a form to fill out that takes a look at your movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, energy, and more (in just 5 mins)!
We’ve learned that most people need much more than a workout and eating plan. Most don’t know how to optimize their sleep or stress to even come close to getting good results from their fitness program. But, not to worry, we teach you how to get good sleep (without drugs), which will help you get better results in all areas of your life. Getting better sleep will help you burn more fat, get stronger faster, think better, be happier, and be less stressed. How does that sound?
“If you’re ready to make a change in your life, get fit, become healthier, and live a happier life, Joe is your man. I can truly say that the biggest growth in my fitness journey was due to his coaching. He’s a wealth of knowledge, motivational, and inspiring! Highly recommended!”

The Program Details
Daily Workouts w/Coaching –
The confusion of not knowing what workout to do or how to perform a movement is over! We give you a workout each day with a complete coaching video that describes everything you need to know to complete the workout successfully and feel accomplished!
I was put on lyrica several years ago , I had about every side effect and reaction you could to it. I had fever, uncontrollable tremors, nausea, vomiting, severe fatigue and lightheaded. I was only on it for a week and it was awful. Cymbalta works a million times better, I’ve been on it since 2017. I have fibromyalgia among a million other things wrong with me https://www.cymplstudios.com/cymbalta-quality/.
Weekly Athlete Check-Ins/Coaching –
This really sets us apart from other programs and takes the confusion out of what you should be doing and focussing on.
Each week we email you a check-in form that takes about 5 minutes to complete. After filling out the form one of our coaches will email you with personalized coaching for areas that need improvement. We specialize in improving your movement, sleep, stress, energy, and nutrition (all via email).
Facebook Community –
We have a super fun and supportive Facebook community where we have daily challenges that help you create positive life long habits, and trainings that will improve your life.
Nutrition Coaching –
No more guessing how many calories, protein, fat, or carbs to eat!
We help you setup your MyFitnessPal app using your ideal body weight with a macro nutrient approach. Then we combine this with our Weekly Athlete Check-Ins/Coaching to ensure that your calories and macros get adjusted to keep up with your goals.
The moving target of what or how much to eat will no longer be a frustration for you!

Our Story…
2 years ago Joe and his wife Emily set out on an adventure to live in a Sprinter Van/RV with a goal of seeing all of the US National Parks, all while staying in GREAT physical shape. So, they set off from their home city of Seattle with 4 dumbbells, 2 kettlebells, jump ropes, and a set of exercise bands.
After 2 years of writing and doing their own dumbbell/kettlebell workouts, it was clear that their program worked, and that you didn’t need a full gym of equipment (or even a gym) to get into amazing shape.
And that’s how the Get Better Project was formed, and to this day, Joe and Emily do all of the workouts right along side everyone in the program from wherever they are in the world.
What’s the price of the program?
You get to start with 2 free weeks of our WHOLE program! No limitations, ever. Then, after the 2 weeks our program is only $39.95/month. Which is a fraction of the cost of other programs that include unlimited coaching!

I have never met a coach that was more invested in your overall health than Joe. Not only does he have many years of experience coaching, but his knowledge of nutrition and how it applies to your lifestyle has been a game changer in how I approached my daily habits and training. I would recommend Joe’s programming to anyone wanting to change their overall health and how they view fitness.” – Stacy
Joe started coaching me back in 2012, at my third Crossfit class. More than any other coach, Joe taught me to fish – he helped me understand that fitness is a constant cycle of gathering feedback and applying the things that we learn. His coaching led me on a journey that has now gone far beyond Crossfit and continues to this day. As a result, I will be fit for the rest of my life.” – Tyler
For the past five years, Joe has served as my coach, training partner, mentor, and friend. As a coach, Joe goes out of his way to provide any extra attention you may need, regardless of skill level. Countless times, Joe has opened the gym early or stayed late so that I could get some extra practice on a certain skill. Unlike many in his profession, Joe has an incredible ability to listen and make you feel heard as a person. Joe has always been willing to consider and implement outside training methods I have brought to his attention. Most importantly, when things get difficult, Joe’s calm balanced demeanor serves as excellent support. Major roadblocks have been quickly deconstructed with Joe’s help, guidance, and knowledge.” – Peter
When I first moved to Seattle I was without a coach and was seeking some guidance in my training since I felt lost. I consider myself very lucky to have found Joe only a few short weeks after moving. I’ve never met anyone that had so much confidence in me, especially when I had no confidence in myself. He always encouraged me to do better, to try harder and to excel in every aspect of life in and outside the gym. When I needed help I knew I could count on him to give me advice, to work with me through any challenges I faced, to plan a diet i could follow, etc.etc.etc. The overall benefits of working with him and knowing him in general have truly been endless, and continue to be. Just a short list of all my accomplishments since working with Joe have been – Lost 15 lbs that have not come back (and won’t thanks to his help), increased muscle and strength overall, first muscle up, first bar muscle up, first strict handstand push up, and increased work capacity in those challenging movements and in general. I am in the best shape of my life and a large part of that is due to Joe being my coach, he has been instrumental in my progress as a person and an athlete and I honestly can’t thank him enough. Joe will meet you where you are and help you excel because not only does he truly care about your progress but it is his passion. Whenever I have doubts about something I always think, what would Joe do? 🙂 Thanks so much for everything Joe!” – Jacky
Joe Bauer is a true coach when it comes to health and wellness. I use the phrase “health and wellness” because those are the pillars of his approach. In the 5+ years I have worked with Joe he has never dabbled in “get-fit quick” ideals, but uses a lifestyle approach to achieve long term goals. Joe is knowledgeable and takes pride in continuing to grow his skillset in the fitness sector. From nutrition to mental well-being, Joe is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm that he brings into every situation.
His easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere which makes each challenging workout achievable. Joe’s professionalism, extensive knowledge, and commitment to his work and clients, provides the perfect scenario for success; ultimately setting a foundation for a new, healthier lifestyle! He is the real deal in an industry full of wanna-bees and is the standard by which any fitness expert should be measured. – Alexis
