Sunday Soul Search - Warrior Values I always talk Values at the first of the year with people. Not that they change from year to year - but this is the time to check in, reflect on the year that was, and recommit to the values that will guide you through 2021. Our values ground us - and can serve to guide us as we choose between different opportunities, games we play, and actions to take when a breakdown occurs in our life. Consider you don't "choose" your values, rather you "discover them". Today, take on getting in touch with your personal values: a) Look back at your personal and career life - when were you the happiest, most proud, fulfilled or satisfied? b) Take those experiences - and look for words in a Personal Values Word List that resonate for you. Look for 10 or so to start. c) Prioritize your tope values d) Reaffirm your top 3-4 values These will be the values that guide you throughout the year as you make choices and confront breakdowns in t...

Warrior's Why - Personal Values It's time to take a giant step back - to get grounded.  Today, take a few moments to reflect and consider your personal values.  We normally take this on in our personal yearly planning cycle in December - and if you haven't done it lately, now is a great time to get started!  Our values ground us - and can serve to guide as as we choose between different opportunities, games we play and actions to take when breakdowns occur.  It is said that we don't "select" our values - but rather that we "discover" them.  Take on reviewing the list of personal values and see what you discover around your own values.   We'll build more on them inside this series each week.   Download your Warrior Why Values List to get your juices flowing here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12DRjHw9oiEU8l3EqesGeDMS_KvBWVwdm/view?usp=sharing #HealthyLivingWarrior #GayPersonalTrainer #GayTrainer #PersonalTrainer #Trainer #PersonalTraining #T...

It is normal for us to collapse Healthy Living with Body Image. In fact, human beings are mentally and socially programmed to compare visual presentations to an ideal.   Mathematically, the brain is predisposed to find certain patterns & symmetries more pleasing to the eye.   We do it with everything - from fruit at the grocery store to bodies at the bar – comparing what’s in front of us to a mental picture of an “ideal”. The Vitruvian Man, by Leonardo da Vinci, depicts the “ideal human body proportions”, based on geometry described by an ancient (we’re taking 20-30 BC sort of ancient here) Roman architect – Vitruvius.   Vitruvian Theory states that an architect should focus on three central themes when preparing a design. Firmitas (strength)             Utilitas (functionality)            Venustas (beauty) Theory can be a great tool to help understand things – AND – we can get so c...

Hey there! I'm CJ Tremeer - a Healthy Living Warrior!  I'm a Gay Personal Trainer - and I help gay men struggling with body image, unhealthy habits, or self confidence to become mental and physical healthy living warriors through individualized exercise & nutrition programs! I spent my teens and 20s battling body image, self esteem, and emotional eating issues, and trying to work up enough strength and courage to come out. It was a long lonely process - and wildly unsuccessful for the most part. I tried diets - programs - books - you name it - and nothing worked... they all made sense in theory - but weren't workable for me in every day life.  ​ In a desperate attempt to break through (and "out") - I signed on with a Personal Trainer - determined to get results.  My confidence grew.  I came out EVERYWHERE, in a "with sparkles" kind of way.    ​ Things I discovered along the way: "I" will always be my own most limiting factor ...
