The past six weeks of coaching by you have been invaluable.  I have found your life coaching to be exactly that.  It was a well rounded experience for my personal and business life as well.  As a busy entrepreneur, running the daily activities of my business is a full-time undertaking.   You helped me focus on goals for growth and development, which are key components for my business to become more successful. I realized I needed help when my lists were getting longer and most of my work time was spent feeling overwhelmed. Jeremy you have been instrumental in helping me move forward. You have given me the skill set to prioritize and accomplish tasks, as well as set reasonable deadlines. It's a series of small achievable steps but when I look back I realize that since we started working together, I've come a long way.   Thank you.

Making the decision to choose a life coach is not one to be taken lightly.  I chose to seek the guidance of one after a series of events in my life lead me to question myself in ways I’d never previously done before.  I contacted Jeremy, set up the mutual interview session and discussed items in that session that surprised, scared and reassured me that I’d both taken the right step for me, and found the right person to help me through my toils.  After working with Jeremy for three months I felt better able to understand myself better than ever before.  He opened my eyes to different aspects of my person.  He guided me through some difficult self-exploration.  There were times I felt triumphant, jubilant, terrified, angry, sad, fearful and joyous.  Jeremy was there for every step and every emotion and provided the sounding board, and insight I didn’t even know I needed. 

Though I feel stronger and more self aware after this initial session, I have in no way worked through all of my issues.  I will be continuing session with Jeremy to move me from the place that I am now to the place that I want to be, and become the person I know I can be.  I would recommend session with Jeremy to anyone looking to further themselves personally or professionally.  I would recommend Jeremy to anyone seeking a greater understanding of where they are as a person now, and wanting to take those unknown steps to get themselves to the person they want to be.  I would also recommend Jeremy to anyone that isn’t sure about their situation, how to get past certain things, or get out of the place they are at now so they can blossom into the person they are meant to be.  Jeremy is a great person to have in your corner!

When I joined Pinnacle Fitness Gym in Elmira and asked for a personal trainer what I envisioned in my mind of what a personal trainer does was totally different than what I got! I envisioned my personal trainer having a boot camp mentality to help me reach my goals! I found out very soon was not the case! Jeremy has a way of assessing a client and knowing what they need. As it turns out I did not need someone to kick my butt to work harder but someone who understood what my thought process was about my health and emotions. Jeremy had a way of making me take a hard look at what my goals and expectations were and where my negative thinking was taking me; which was no where!!! I learned to listen to my body and concentrate on how I was feeling rather than the number on the weigh scale!

As I have told many people over the past 6 months that Jeremy has worked with me, “Jeremy is my Life coach not just a Personal trainer)!! Not that a personal trainer is a bad thing it’s just that I needed more than that!

Having someone look you directly in the eye and ask you “What do you need today?” or “How are you feeling right now?” is a little un-nerving at first but it actually made me feel like I really mattered! This wasn’t just a 60 min. exercise workout session! Sometimes it was working through some emotional baggage and learning how to cope with it using Tai Chi and deep breathing to help calm myself and re-energize.

Had I not hired a personal trainer I would not be as far as I am today! I would probably still be using 5 lbs weights! Having arthritis I would have been to afraid to push myself but my favourite saying to Jeremy became “I continue to amaze myself everyday!” and I still do!!! I can’t believe the difference working out with free weights has done for my arthritis! I feel great! I have way more energy and am able to work at home in my flower beds, painting my house etc. Things I would have never done before because I would have been too sore to do it!

If you get a chance to work with Jeremy Tracey do it and you will also continue to amaze yourself everyday!
