Hi everyone my name is Jeremy and I am the creator of the Fitness and Health Investment Initiative (FHII) that is (i.motivate.me). My journey is a worldly one, with many experiences that have brought me much to share and use for navigating life’s challenges. I’ve spent my entire life since the age of five as an athlete in multiple sports, always earning leadership roles through example, dedication, and the extra work when nobody was looking.
My adult professional career began with 9 years of military service in the United States Marine Corps. My experience and leadership was forged in extraordinary conditions by some of the most sharp-minded, hard working, dedicated, and brilliant individuals. Having endured and pondered the hardships that modern humans face in war, I foresaw a point of reconciliation for our past behaviors—and here we find ourselves today.
After honorable service I wanted to be a part of the health and fitness world, so I attended the University of Massachusetts Boston where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise and Health Sciences. The i.motivate.me idea was born during this time running along Columbia Point and learning from really incredible instructors who shared the same spirit of finding solutions for America’s health problems. Through many successes, many failures, and self-reflection, my path has led me to discovering a new blueprint of thinking which has made literally ANYTHING that I want to do possible. We identify resistance as that which stands in the way of taking action and accomplishing goals, and we confront it with introspection, reflection, and integration. These are crucial elements in both self-improvement, but also in the role of COACHING and MENTORSHIP.
I’ve worked as an exercise physiologist in an athletic fitness and research setting, guiding many individuals and groups along their way of higher fitness and health. I’ve been involved in researching the energy systems of the body, where our research team was published in the American Journal of Exercise Physiology (December 2019, Vol.22 Number 7) under the direction of one of my mentors, Dr. Wayne Westcott. I’ve also coached and guided hundreds of patients in cardiac rehabilitation, and even more individuals with 1:1 lifestyle coaching through FHII, where I’ve built a foundational ambassadorship for the program that I have officially brought to the public. So, here we are and the time for transformational changes is NOW; Let’s Go!
