Hello, I'm Jai Bazevski.

I've always loved playing sport and going to the gym, but I struggled to stay motivated with healthy habits and my diet. Everything changed when I realised that I needed to adjust my lifestyle and habits, and that's when I created a daily routine that transformed me.

Jai's Story

...

After a 13-year career in the Information Technology industry, I realized that it wasn’t my passion.

Doing something I wasn’t enjoying everyday really brought down my energy, my health and my happiness.

The stress and unhealthy lifestyle led to me having a cardiac arrest at age 27, and everything changed for me after that.

From that experience, I realized there are too many people living unhealthy, and winding up in hospitals dealing with lifestyle induced health conditions that could be avoidable. Including myself.

At that moment, I knew I could help people avoid an unhealthy future. I knew that with regular exercise and a healthy diet and lifestyle, we can all avoid sickness and complications with aging.

That’s when I become a personal trainer and health coach, and started sharing my story and my voice to inspire people, and create my own healthy lifestyle at the same time.

It was a tough decision to give up my previous career in the I.T world for the complete unknown, and starting from zero in an industry where I have no experience was scary.

But I learned a great lesson from the cardiac arrest I experienced, and that was to make the most of my life. Coming so close to losing my life made me realize how important it is to get the most out of it.

So I took the leap and started my fitness business (SQ1 Fitness), and during that time I met Kate, who shortly after our meeting in 2010, became my girlfriend, and today my wife of 13 years, and co-owner of SQ1 Fitness.

In 2014 we went from training in the outdoors to opening a private studio/gym in Sydney, which we ran right up till the end of 2021.

Over that 11.5 years, we ran 15 group classes per week and over 150 personal training sessions each week for our SQ1 FAM!

During that time we had the most amazing experiences, met the most amazing people, and were lucky enough to have a thriving gym for many years which enabled us to help lots of people with their health, fitness, and overall lives.

Today, as of 2024, we are living in the beach town of Casuarina, on the north coast of NSW, where we run our business online, offering fitness coaching and transformation challenges, leveraging technologies such as zoom and our private fitness app to deliver coaching all over the world.

And we're also outdoor Personal Trainers in our local community.

We love what we do, and our SQ1 community. And we hope to work with you in the future.

Hello, I'm Kate Bazevski.

Like Jai, I've always loved to play sports and be active but I didn't have a great diet (and drank too much) and that held me back from having the health I wanted and looking and feeling the way I knew I could. Everything changed when I realised that I could still have a fun social life and practice healthy habits as well. Once I stuck with them I saw amazing changes!

Kate's Story

...

When I was 19 I moved to England for 2 years and was lucky enough to travel around Europe and see amazing parts of the world. I also drank and ate way too much during this time which after returning continued for a few years and put me at the heaviest I've ever been.

A few years after returning I secured work in the finance industry working in risk management and analytics.

Doing the desk job life was great for the first few years, but eventually I wanted something different. I was always organising sporting events at work and getting everyone together to go to the gym.

When I met Jai I was running a free outdoor bootcamp each week for my friends and my soccer team.

I come from a sporting family and enjoyed soccer, boot camps and going to the gym at that time.

While I was at the bank and Jai was running SQ1 Fitness we decided we were much better off working together as a passionate team. I left the bank and Jai and I started working together running outdoor group boot camps, which eventually led to us running our gym in Sydney for almost a decade.

Today we love working with our clients online, helping them overcome their health and fitness challenges with our private coaching and group challenges. I also really enjoy one on one personal training with our clients in Casuarina.

I particularly love diving deep into women's hormones and using specific methods to track fertility and get better management of your health overall. A long history of migraines has sent me down a path of education on both the hormonal side and just health in general. I'm the queen of workarounds if you're injured and need an understanding coach and really love diving deep into what's happening in the body.
