there isn't even a period. other than that, it just doesn't make sense logically.

I would imagine the correct way to put it would be:

Training is the first 2 days of the week.

Yeah don't worry about the period at the end, although that was missing. My co worker says it makes senses, but I don't think so

You should fix yours too.

Yeah I don't reall\y care about grammer, I just wondered. What they are trying to say is that the training is during the day time for the first 2 weeks

Report your co-worker for smoking crack.

again, logically it doesn't make sense, but gramitically it does other than that period.

No, that first sentence does not logically result in that conclusion. It does not make any sense.

It would make sense if they said this, "Training is the first two weeks, during the day."

Well yes that could be if they wrote it incorrectly, but my coworker said it means during the day for 2 weeks, if you read it the way they wrote it.

Judging by the quotes in the OP's sig, I'd say he has some wires crossed up there or something. Lay off the acid bro.

It isn't the comma that I was interested in. It is switching the word "of" to the word "during" that is needed to make the sentence logically correct.

You wanted it to specifically say during the daytime and not during nighttime. Thus, "during" is needed at a minimum. Of course, you should also say "daytime" instead of just "day", but I wanted to make just a minimal change to your sentence. I guess you should just toss the whole thing out and write what you actually intend to write.
Training is during the daytime for the first 2 weeks.
