UpNorthAthletics With Jereymi Longpre

Summer is closer than you think — and you don’t need a crazy plan to get results.In this episode, we break down exactly what the next 8–10 weeks should look like if you want to feel stronger, leaner, and more confident going into summer.No extremes. No shortcuts. Just a clear, structured approach to training, nutrition, movement, and recovery that actually works.We focus on the fundamentals most people overlook — and how small, consistent habits can create visible change in a short period of time.If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start, this is it.

This episode is personal.We’re breaking down Jeremy’s birthday scholarship — why we decided to do it, who it’s meant for, and what we’re actually looking for in the right person.Coaching isn’t just about losing weight or building muscle. It’s about changing habits, building confidence, and creating a long-term shift in how someone lives their life.We talk about the impact of guidance, accountability, and structure — and why removing financial barriers can open the door for someone who’s ready but hasn’t had the opportunity.If you’ve been thinking about taking your health seriously, this episode might be the push you need.

A lot of women hit a point where fat loss feels impossible even when they’re trying harder than ever.In this episode, we break down why fat loss changes after 35, especially for busy moms balancing work, kids, stress, and lack of sleep. It’s not about effort — it’s about how physiology, hormones, recovery, and lifestyle all shift over time.We cover what’s actually happening in the body, why old strategies stop working, and what approach leads to sustainable results without burnout.If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like your body isn’t responding the way it used to, this episode will give you clarity and direction.

We’re officially opening a new Fitness Lab location but this isn’t just about a bigger space.In this episode, we break down why the environment plays a massive role in your results, consistency, and mindset. Most people think progress comes down to motivation or programs, but your surroundings shape your habits more than you realize.We talk about what makes a training space actually effective, who this new space is designed for, and why community and structure matter more than fancy equipment.If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent or felt out of place in a gym, this episode will change how you think about where you train.Follow Jer on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/upnorthathletics/and Ekam too: https://www.instagram.com/jstekam_/TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Introduction & big announcement0:48 - Why the move happened now1:39 - Location benefits & housing development2:51 - Better access & parking3:26 - High Rocks setup & equipment4:03 - Room for coaches & clients to grow5:32 - Why black turf?6:57 - Summer vibes & garage doors8:52 - One membership, two locations10:02 - Scheduling & space challenges solved11:35 - New squat racks & cable machines12:58 - Community events & future plans14:09 - Two free classes offer15:22 - The mission stays the same16:00 - Jeremy's 9-year journey17:07 - Podcast studio announcement17:27 - Outro

Welcome to episode 50 of the Northstar podcast - our big milestone episode! We're taking a step back to reflect on the journey so far. Jeremy shares the story of how the podcast started with three episodes in 2023, then a year-long break, before coming back strong with 47 episodes in the past year. We talk about the evolution from mobile podcasting to finding our groove, the challenges of coordinating guests, and why we love having raw, unscripted conversations. Jeremy opens up about how podcasting has become his favorite investment even though it's not financially profitable, and we discuss our transition to weekly episodes with shorter, more frequent content. We share what's coming next - more branding, a permanent studio space, and mixing guest episodes with just the two of us nerding out. Most importantly, we talk about the real reward: the impact on listeners and those moments when someone tells us they learned something valuable. Here's to the next 50 episodes!

We discuss the investment mindset needed for longevity peptides and why you might not see immediate results. But the real conversation centers around what longevity actually means - it's not about extreme dieting or crushing workouts, but quality sleep, great relationships, time outside, and reducing stress. We talk about the blue zones and how true longevity looks different than what North American culture promotes. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just maintain what you've built and enjoy the journey.

For this special collaboration, I had the pleasure of interviewing Joe and Owen, the creators of the Jungle Hockey Podcast. Our conversation provided a fascinating look into the world of sports podcasting and the passion these young hosts have for hockey. We discussed the growth of their show, including their recent partnerships and sponsorships. It was interesting to hear about their strategies for securing guests and gradually working their way up to interviewing higher-profile players.
