EAP 118: Quarantine Fit and Fine?! Shifting Your Fitness PACE During COVID-19




Early Accountability show

Summary: On this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast, Kimi is joined by Justin Ochoa, co-owner of Pace Fitness Academy in Indianapolis. Justin was an athlete in high school who discovered his love for coaching during college. A short time later, he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder which triggered him to start learning about nutrition, strength, and conditioning. This eventually led to him and his business partner, Eric Allen, opening Pace Fitness Academy to coach and train athletes and anyone else who is looking for a top-notch training experience. With gyms across the country being closed, Pace has shifted a lot of their services online, from online training sessions for their paying clients to free resources available to anyone on their website. Justin has noticed that the main challenges for people during this time of coronavirus quarantine are the lack of structure and lack of motivation. Because our routines have been thrown off and we are not able to leave our houses, people are struggling to set aside the time to consistently work out. Justin recommends that you (1) start where you are, (2) use what you have, and (3) do what you can. Your workouts will not look the same as “normal” right now, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t exist at all. He emphasizes the importance of mindset in setting consistent habits and accomplishing goals, reaching deep within yourself to retrieve the motivation to accomplish more than expected. If you are looking for online resources, workout plans, or some extra accountability during this time or in the future, reach out to Justin and Eric at Pace Fitness Academy to see if they might be a good fit for you.
