G’day legends! So you want to know more about what Your Pace Training is all about huh? Well you have come to the right place!
Your Pace Training is more than just another Boot Camp or group fitness class. Yes, that is the bread and butter of YPT, but we want to be more than just making you do squats and run laps. We are about educating everyone on WHY we squat, WHY we run, WHY we eat what we have to and HOW everything that you do affects your body both PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY. We will train you on making healthy a habit and to start reaching those health and fitness goals and never go back!
That is a bit about what Your Pace Training is about, but who am I and why would you trust me? Someone you’ve probably never met and know nothing about. Well let me get real with you for a minute and fill you in on how I got here.
My name is Jeremy. I have been involved in sport all my life, have done a degree in Sport and Exercise Science, and done a couple of those transformation challenges that tend to be more about selling supplements than it is about making you a better you. Despite being a sporty guy and someone interested in fitness, I have always struggled with my weight!
As a kid growing up, I was never exposed to proper information on nutrition, or physical exercise and how important that was for my mental and physical development growing up. I look back now and realise I wasn’t alone there. So along with many other Australians, I grew into an overweight and under-confident young adult. I hated myself for being the way I was, and hated myself more for not doing a damn thing about it for so long!
I was at my lowest point at the end of 2012 when splitting out of a relationship. My self-confidence had taken another hit and my self-perception became so negative that my mental health had slipped into a deep depression that would take at least a year to truly shake. The next phase of my life begins here…
To get out of this slump and depression, I needed to do something that would change the way I saw life and myself. My Uncle and Aunt (shoutout to Pete and Tanya!) had just decked there garage out to a nice little gym. I started training there with them as I came to the conclusion that I needed to start doing something about the way I was. Soon enough I got addicted to the endorphins from an intense sweat up on the weights. We then saw an online ad for the latest 12-week challenge! We knew straight away that we were going to have a crack at this. So we signed up, bought all the recommended supplements, and downloaded their meal plans and training schedules. Long story short there, I lost about 15kg in 12 weeks (totalling around 30kg lost that whole year). I was a new man!
Unfortunately I didn’t keep the weight off since as soon as the 12 weeks was up, I had lost the motivation (nothing to try and win) to keep eating the way I had to and keep the weight off. In all honesty, in this challenge and the next I tried, I came across the same issue, I couldn’t keep the weight off. I realised that this way of transforming your body did nothing to educate myself on how to keep up the hard work and keep the weight off. It turned my focus from a healthy mind and body to how easily can I look the best. It made me look at myself skin deep. I learned a lot of lessons from those few years of up and down results and training.
Now I have studied sport and exercise science, I understand the way the body reacts to food and exercise, and the psychology behind how to stay on track with my goals! This has brought me here today, wanting to share this knowledge, to be the sound mind in an industry full of loud noises and flashing lights promising ridiculous things!
I won’t promise you massive weight loss in 6 weeks, or that you will get your abs ready for summer in a jiffy! What I will promise is that I will work my imperfect backside off to assist you in feeling healthier, feeling happier, knowing how to stay that way, and have a crap load of fun along the way! I am still on my journey, let me help you with yours.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
