Built around how you train
Powerlifting, conditioning, rehab work, and a family that shares the space all want different rooms. We start with the training, not the catalog.
Home gym design · Boynton Beach & Palm Beach County
Designed by
a coach.
Not a decorator.
A decorator knows how a room should look. I know how much space a press needs overhead, where a sled run has to go, and how a person actually moves through a session. Give me your space and your budget, and I'll design a gym you'll still be using in five years.
What you get
A plan.
Not a Pinterest board.
A measured layout
Every piece placed with the clearance real movements need — overhead, behind the bar, and around the rack.
A sourcing list
Specific equipment, specific prices, specific links. Where it matters, options at three budget levels.
The unglamorous parts
Flooring, ceiling height, outlets, ventilation, and noise. The things that ruin a gym if nobody thinks about them first.
A phasing plan
If you're building over a year instead of a weekend, we sequence it so every stage is usable on its own.
The problem we solve
Most home gyms
get abandoned.
Not because people stop caring. Because the bar hits the ceiling, the rack sits where the car door opens, the flooring was wrong for the weight, or the room simply never fit the way the person actually trains. Those are design failures, and they all happen before anyone lifts anything.
Nothing bought twice
The most expensive equipment is the piece you replace in eight months. Measuring first is cheaper than guessing.
Honest about budget
A well-planned $4,000 garage beats a badly planned $20,000 one, and I'd rather say that up front than sell you a rack you don't need.
You know how to use it
When the room is finished, I'll walk you through it — setup, progressions, and how to make the space earn its footprint.

Coaching.
The design work grew out of fifteen years of coaching, and the coaching hasn't gone anywhere.

The mark
Two symbols.
One standard.
Our monogram isn't decoration. The A is an arrow. The Q is a power button. Together they describe what a good room does to the person standing in it.
The arrow — progress
Physical growth you can measure, and a mindset that keeps climbing after the obstacle.
The power button — activation
The first rep of the first session. Motivation, determination, and energy switched on.

The semester
Four units,
in order.
Each unit builds on the one before it. Students who join mid-semester get caught up individually — nobody gets dropped into work they aren't ready for. This is the curriculum classes will run when they begin.
01
Movement Fundamentals
Running mechanics, jumping and landing, balance, coordination, and body control. This is the base everything else sits on, and it's the unit most kids have never actually been taught.
02
Fitness & Conditioning
Age-appropriate strength, endurance, and mobility. Students learn what effort actually feels like, how to pace themselves, and how to train without getting hurt.
03
Sport Skills & Game Play
Throwing, catching, striking, dribbling, and the rules and strategy behind them. Games are where teamwork, fair play, and losing gracefully get practiced for real.
04
Habits for Life
Sleep, nutrition, hydration, and recovery — taught as decisions students make themselves rather than rules from an adult. The goal is a kid who keeps moving after the semester ends.
How it runs
The practical details.
Ages 6 to 18
Grouped by age and ability, not lumped together. Younger students focus on fundamentals and play; older students move toward strength, conditioning, and sport.
Weekly, by semester
Classes run on a consistent weekday schedule so P.E. lands in your routine like any other subject. Semester-length commitment, with sibling rates available.
Boynton Beach or yours
Classes run locally in Boynton Beach. For co-ops and groups with their own space — a park, a field, a facility — we come to you anywhere in Palm Beach County.
Small on purpose
Big enough for real games and real competition. Small enough that every student gets corrected by name in every session.
For your records
Documentation,
handled.
You're already keeping records for the year. P.E. shouldn't be the subject with nothing to show for it.
Attendance records
Dated session logs for every class your student attends.
Progress reports
What was covered each unit and how your student developed across it.
Portfolio-ready format
Written to file alongside the rest of your year's work without extra effort from you.

Questions parents ask
Before you enroll.
My kid isn't athletic
Most of them aren't, and that's the point. This is physical education, not tryouts. Students are measured against where they started, never against each other.
Is it safe for younger kids?
Everything is scaled to training age and supervised directly. Younger students spend their time on movement skills and games — no heavy loading, no adult programming pushed onto growing bodies.
What about socialization?
It's built in. Students train in groups, compete on teams, and work through winning and losing together. For a lot of families this ends up being the part their kid looks forward to most.
Can our co-op book a group?
Yes. Group and co-op bookings run at your location on your schedule. Tell us how many students and what ages, and we'll build the class around it.

Home gym design · Palm Beach County
Designed by a coach.
Not a decorator.
A decorator knows how a room should look. I know how much space a press needs overhead, where a sled run has to go, and how a person actually moves through a session. Give me your space and your budget, and I'll design a gym you'll still be using in five years.
How it works
Four steps.
01
Walkthrough
I come to your space, measure it properly, and we talk through how you actually train — or how you want to. Ceiling height, door swings, outlets, and what the room has to do besides hold equipment.
02
Design
A measured layout showing exactly what goes where, with the clearances real movements need. Not a mood board — a plan you could hand to a contractor.
03
Sourcing
A specific equipment list with pricing, built to your budget. Where it makes sense I'll give you options at three price points so you can decide what's worth the money and what isn't.
04
Build
Flooring, electrical, and mounting go to licensed trades — I coordinate rather than install. When it's done, I'll walk you through using the space properly.
Packages
Good to know
Before you book.
What I design
Private residential spaces — garages, spare rooms, basements, bonus rooms, and outdoor setups. Shared gyms in condo or HOA buildings fall under different rules and I'll refer you to someone registered for those.
What I don't do
I design and coordinate; I don't build. Flooring, electrical, framing, and wall mounting go to licensed contractors. I'll tell you exactly what to ask them for.
Equipment pricing
Where I can get dealer pricing, I'll pass it on and tell you plainly that I'm getting it. You're never obligated to buy anything through me — the equipment list is yours either way.
Budgets
Bring me a number and I'll design to it. A well-planned $4,000 garage beats a badly planned $20,000 one, and I'd rather tell you that up front than sell you equipment you won't use.
Palm Beach County

Build it right.
Tell me about your space and your budget, and we'll start with a walkthrough.
Residential spaces · Palm Beach County
Every room
has a catch.
Garages run hot and the door eats a wall. Spare rooms have ceilings that end a press. Basements flood and bonus rooms sit over someone's bedroom. Knowing the catch before you buy anything is most of the job.
What I design
Five kinds of room.
01
The garage
The most common and the most workable. The real constraints are heat, the door track overhead, the slope of the slab toward the door, and whether you're keeping a car in there. Flooring choice matters more here than anywhere else — dropped weight on bare concrete cracks it, and the wrong mat turns a garage into a sauna.
02
The spare bedroom
Usually eight-foot ceilings, which rules out some overhead work and standing presses for taller people. Also the room most likely to be above another room, so noise and floor load drive the equipment list. Done well, it holds a serious setup in a small footprint.
03
The bonus room or loft
Space is rarely the problem; floor structure and sound are. Plate-loaded equipment and dropped weight over a living area need planning, and sometimes need a different plan entirely. I'll tell you when that's the case.
04
Outdoor and covered patio
Florida-specific and often the best option here. Salt air, humidity, and sun destroy the wrong finishes fast, so equipment selection changes completely. Shade, drainage, and where the sun sits at your training hour all get designed for.
05
A corner of something else
A section of a garage still holding two cars, a strip of a home office, the end of a family room. Constrained spaces need the most design, not the least — and they're often the projects that get used most, because the gym is where the person already is.
Before anything gets bought
What gets checked.
Ceiling height
Measured at the lowest point, not the highest. Openers, ductwork, and light fixtures decide more layouts than square footage does.
Floor and subfloor
What's under you sets the weight you can drop, the flooring that makes sense, and whether the room stays quiet.
Power and light
Outlet placement for fans, a treadmill, or sound. Lighting that doesn't leave you pressing into a glare.
Air
In this climate, ventilation is the difference between a gym you use in August and a very expensive storage room.
Access
Door widths and turns decide what can physically get into the room. This is where surprises are most expensive.
How you actually train
The most important measurement in the room, and the one nobody else asks about.
Palm Beach County
Send me a photo
and a rough measurement.
That's usually enough for me to tell you what's realistic before you spend anything.
Questions
Before you
book anything.
The questions that come up most. If yours isn't here, ask it directly — the answer is usually one message long.
Do you build the gym, or just design it?
Design and coordinate. Flooring, electrical, framing, and wall mounting go to licensed contractors — I'll tell you exactly what to ask them for and work alongside them, but I don't perform that work myself.
Do I have to buy equipment through you?
No. The equipment list is yours regardless, with links and pricing, and you're free to shop it however you like. Where I can get dealer pricing I'll pass it on and tell you plainly that I'm getting it.
What if my budget is small?
Then we design to it. Small budgets need more design, not less, because every choice has to earn its place. I'd rather plan a sharp $3,000 garage than oversell you a room you use twice.
How long does a project take?
The design itself usually lands within one to two weeks of the walkthrough. What happens after depends on lead times for equipment and how quickly trades can get scheduled — that varies, and I'll give you a realistic picture rather than an optimistic one.
Do you work on condo or HOA gyms?
No. Shared gyms in condo and HOA buildings aren't residential spaces and fall under different rules in Florida. I'll refer you to someone registered for that work.
I'm renting. Is this worth it?
Often yes, with a different plan. Renters get designs built around free-standing equipment, removable flooring, and nothing that requires drilling into a wall you don't own. Say so up front and the whole approach changes.
How far do you travel?
Palm Beach County is covered in the package price. Beyond that, travel is billed at $2 per mile. If you're outside the area and want to talk anyway, ask — some projects are worth the drive.
What happens at the walkthrough?
Ninety minutes on site. I measure the space properly, we talk through how you train and what you want out of the room, and you get verbal recommendations and honest limits before any money goes toward equipment. The fee is credited toward any design package booked within thirty days.
What if I want changes after the design is delivered?
Each package includes revisions — one round for Single Space, two for Full Design. Beyond that, additional revisions are $150. The cap exists so projects finish rather than drift.
Can you help me use the space once it's built?
Yes. A post-install coaching session in your new gym is $125, and it's the step people skip most. A room you know how to use is worth considerably more than a room that looks good.

Pricing
Pricing
Flat fees, published up front. Design packages are priced by the size of the space, not a percentage of what you spend on equipment — so nothing about my fee nudges you toward buying more than you need.

High school athletes
Built for more.
Prepared for life.
Stronger athletes, better futures. We train the qualities that carry past the final season: durability, composure, and a work ethic that doesn't need supervision.
How a training block runs
Four phases,
in order.
01
Assess
Movement screen, strength baselines, speed and change-of-direction testing, and a conversation about the sport calendar. Nothing gets programmed before this.
02
Build
Foundational strength and tissue resilience. This is where injury prevention actually happens — hips, hamstrings, ankles, shoulders, and the trunk that ties them together.
03
Express
Turning strength into speed. Sprint mechanics, acceleration, deceleration, jumping and landing, and reactive work under fatigue.
04
Sustain
In-season maintenance that keeps gains without stealing legs from game day, plus recovery and sleep habits the athlete owns themselves.
For parents
What you're
paying for.
Recruiting attention is the by-product. The point is an athlete who finishes the season healthy, handles pressure, and keeps the habits when the coach isn't in the room.
Ages 13–18
Programming scaled to training age, not just calendar age.
Coached, never supervised
Every session has a plan, and every rep has a standard.
Teams welcome
Group blocks for rosters and training partners, on site or at your facility.

American Quality Wellness is a Boynton Beach training practice built on a simple idea: the work you do in here should make the rest of your life easier.
Add coach portrait
Your coach
AJ Quinones
Fifteen years on the gym floor teaches you something a certification can't: every body walks in with a history.
AJ has spent that time coaching across the full range of human performance — professional athletes, high school players, homeschool students, and everyday adults who want to feel capable again. He holds degrees in kinesiology and liberal arts.
But the athletes are only part of the work. His focus is preparing them for the life that comes after the sport, or alongside it — building work ethic, holding people accountable, and teaching them to keep going when things get hard. Organization on an everyday scale. The willingness to take the harder road because of what's waiting on the other side.
That's the standard everyone gets, whether it's a first-timer or a sophomore chasing a starting spot: an honest assessment, a plan built for them, and a coach who watches every rep.
He founded American Quality Wellness in Boynton Beach on it.
Work with me →How we coach
Three commitments.
Honest assessment
We tell you where you actually are and what the timeline realistically looks like. No package gets sold before that conversation happens.
Coached, not counted
Anyone can count reps. We're watching your setup, your bracing, and your tenth rep — and adjusting the plan when your week doesn't go as planned.
Habits over hype
Sleep, food, and recovery get the same attention as the training block, because that's what makes results survive a busy month.
