Mission Statement
The Mentor Project was created as a legacy to honor the teachings and vision of Richard Diaz, founder of Diaz Human Performance LLC. With a lifetime dedicated to empowering athletes, Richard recognized the need to equip coaches and trainers with the knowledge and tools to build lasting, successful careers in the fitness industry.
At its heart, The Mentor Project aims to bridge the gap between passion and professional success for aspiring fitness professionals. “The fitness industry is driven by passion,” Richard often says, “but too many fitness enthusiasts fall short when it comes to building a sustainable career and achieving financial success.” Our mission is to offer the education, mentorship, and certification needed to help individuals rise above the competition and create lasting careers.
While we cater primarily to coaches and athletes in the fast-growing Hybrid Fitness space, our programs are designed to be flexible and recession-proof. They prepare fitness professionals to adapt and thrive through industry shifts and trends. Fitness may be built on fads, but our graduates will be ready to navigate change and emerge as leaders.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are over 350,000 fitness trainers and instructors in the U.S. alone. Additional markets are growing in Europe, including 26,000 personal trainers in the United Kingdom. The Mentor Project is committed to supporting this vibrant community with a high standard of education, mentorship, and a path to career advancement.
Our goal is simple: empower coaches to “Become a Great Coach, Not Just Another One.” We do this by providing education, certification, and ongoing mentorship that helps our members build credibility, expand their client base, and grow their businesses. The Mentor Project is not just a certification program—it’s a lifelong partnership in professional development.
