Newly married? Soon to be married? Want to compete with your sibling? Need extra motivation?


73.9% of newcomers when beginning their health and fitness journey drop-out within the first 4 months, yes, I just made that statistic up but from my experience that's what it seems like. People need an external motivator outside of themselves to push them, that could be a reason i.e. getting in shape for a mountain hike, or a professional such as a personal trainer whom will guide you through the process step-by-step, or another person in the same health and fitness space as yourself, who can push you and vice versa.


Why not tackle personal training as a twosome?


The most consistent clients I have are the ones who workout with a partner, there is something about friendly competition that drives someone beyond what they're capable of individually. Personal Training with myself, Jay Shreddinger, will make your workouts interactive, fun and effective, and the workouts are tailored to each person no matter how far apart the clients are in your capabilities, beyond paired encouragement, motivation and the expertise of a personal trainer, you're simply getting the best of both worlds!


The Spouses


The most common type of fitness enthusiasts, you'll have a million things to do in your life ranging from wedding preparations to children, to work commitments, and because of the strains of 'married/coupled life' people forget about their health and fitness, and end up growing dad or mum bods after many years.


We advocate a slow and steady approach, to counter the fast-pace nature of your coupled life, it won't stress your already crammed schedule and you will be taken through the process step by step without exhausting you.


The Unfriendly Siblings


The most competitive pair! There would be a nuclear-aftermath in a gym after a session with these two, you'll be motivated by decades of competitiveness from who got the higher grades at school, to who is the better driver, to who keeps their room cleaner. The gym is like a final showdown to who gets the bragging rights.


Likewise, these personal training  sessions are fun, interactive, effective and tailored to each person with more of a wild-west tint to it.


The Facts


Studies have shown that exercising with a friend increases burned calories by up to 25%, and makes people less likely to call it quits earlier in their journey. The motivation comes from having a partner that pushes us to go futher. The average workout with a partner lasts approximately 44 minutes in comparison to 38 minutes as a solo.


If weight loss, strength gain, fitness, muscle building, toning is your goal, then regular coupled personal training with Jay Shreddinger could see you hit your goal weight earlier than going solo!

My take on Health and Fitness

Is Breakfast Truly the Most Important Meal of the Day? Should you eat breakfast to achieve your fitness goals, or could skipping it be more beneficial? I aim to challenge conventional fitness advice when necessary to deliver the best results for my clients. My commitment to tailoring fitness solutions to individual needs is what sets me apart in the personal training industry. In a world dominated by one-size-fits-all approaches, it’s critical to remember that the most important person in any fitness journey is the client. Forcing a rigid mindset on someone often leads to frustration and failure, pushing them away from their goals. For many, breakfast has long been considered a non-negotiable meal. Decades of marketing by the breakfast cereal industry have ingrained the belief that starting the day with a bowl of sugary cereal is essential. For these individuals, switching to a healthier option—like grilled salmon and vegetables—can feel revolutionary. But what if you don’t enjoy breakfast? What if skipping it altogether makes you feel better? The Breakfast Myth: Science vs. Belief For years, health experts have drilled into us that skipping breakfast is a fast track to obesity and chronic disease. The phrase “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is so entrenched in society that questioning it seems almost heretical. Interestingly, a recent meta-analysis of breakfast-related studies found that the belief in breakfast’s benefits often outweighs the strength of scientific evidence. Researchers uncovered significant biases in how results were interpreted, leading to conflicting conclusions. Does this mean breakfast is bad? Absolutely not. Instead, it highlights the need for an open-minded approach to nutrition, prioritizing what works best for you. While nutrition debates can be divisive, achieving body composition goals ultimately boils down to three basics: creating a calorie deficit, eating nutritious foods, and sticking to the plan.

Through my experience as a Personal Trainer, I have observed the patterns, themes, and trends in a manner by people ive spoken to and worked with. A singular, unifying catalyst for successful weight-loss narratives exists: the moment of realization, an epiphany, the "Aha, I can’t continue this way." This is precisely why the 'healthy at every size' ideology is flawed. You are not healthy at every size. "But one can be ill and underweight too," they retort. Indeed, that is possible, yet it’s merely deflection. The focus here is not on anyone else. If one is overweight, the probability of death escalates. The greater the excess weight, the higher the propensity for illness and the decline in life quality. This is an irrefutable truth, regardless of how anyone attempts to spin it. The term ‘morbid obesity’ (morbid, implying death) exists for a reason.
