About Our Gym

Our Story

Welcome to Travers Full Power Fitness—where strength is built with purpose and training is personal. This isn't a crowded, big-box gym. This is a focused, semi-private training environment designed for real results.

Built on the mindset of a former Division 1 athlete, Travers was created around one principle: you don't need to live in the gym to get your strength and energy back. With the right structure and intent, you can achieve the results of training 5–6 days a week—in a fraction of the time.

This is for the driven professional who's balancing a full schedule—long workdays, family responsibilities, and everything in between—yet still wants to feel strong, capable, and in control of their body again. The ones who are tired of feeling run down, tight, or drained… but still show up every day and get it done.

With expert coaching, a tight-knit atmosphere, and a culture rooted in discipline and accountability, every session here has purpose. No distractions. No ego. Just focused work that fits your life—and actually moves you forward.

At Travers, you're not just getting access—you're getting a system that helps you rebuild your strength, increase your energy, and take back your physical independence without sacrificing your time.

I'm Erik Travers, founder and head coach at TFPF. My passion for fitness and performance was shaped through years of competing as a high school and collegiate athlete. I served as captain of my high school football team, leading us to a championship, and earned recognition as a four-time All-State and four-time All-New England wrestler—ranked among the top 30 in the country. I also became a national powerlifting champion before continuing on to wrestle Division I in college.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and my Master's in Kinesiology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Throughout my athletic career, I struggled with injuries that taught me the importance of training smart, maintaining balance, and caring for both body and mind.

Over time, I've built on my athletic background and education to refine how I help people beyond the world of competitive sports. My focus now is on helping busy professionals and everyday individuals reclaim their confidence, energy, and strength—mentally, physically, and emotionally—without adding extra stress or time to their day.

I believe in using challenges and daily pressures as fuel for positive change, turning stress into momentum for growth. My goal is to make fitness and health life-transformative, empowering people to perform at their best not just in the gym, but in every aspect of their lives.

Trainer • Bachelors/Master of Kinesiology

Hi, I'm Adam Barboza, a trainer here at TFPF. My goal is to help people unlock their full potential—whether that means getting stronger, improving performance, or just feeling better every day.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from the University of Rhode Island and am currently pursuing my Master's. My love for fitness started back in high school sports and has only grown since then. I wrestled in both high school and college and also played football and lacrosse.

Coaching allows me to share my passion for movement and the discipline I learned through years of athletics. I love seeing people realize what they're capable of and develop confidence through consistency and hard work. Helping others find that same sense of strength and growth is what drives me every day as a coach.
