Meet Perrin and Jeff Riendeau
Founders of Paired and Powered Up
Hey, we’re Perrin and Jeff — a husband and wife team who turned our living room into a powerhouse home gym and never looked back.
Paired and Powered Up started as our personal experiment in staying consistent—balancing real life, careers, marriage, and long-term health. What began as a corner of our living room turned into a fully built-out smart + traditional home gym and, more importantly, a story worth sharing.
We don’t just post reviews—we take you inside the journey. The trial-and-error, the mindset shifts, the recovery days, and the adjustments we make as we train smarter and age well. Through real-life storytelling, we show what fitness actually looks like in the rhythm of everyday life.
What You’ll Find Here
Smart tech reviews and tutorials based on real use
Gear comparisons and upgrades that balance value and performance
Creative home gym hacks to maximize space and function
Candid advice from two people lifting (and living) side-by-side
Motivation and mindset tips to help you stay consistent
Whether you're new to home workouts or already deep in your own setup, we’ve got your back with insights, ideas, and honest feedback from our own fitness lifestyle.
Why We Started
Like many, we were juggling busy schedules, limited space, and a desire to stay strong, healthy, and connected. When we discovered how smart tech could elevate our training — without needing a full commercial gym — we leaned in, experimented, and optimized. What started as a personal setup turned into a passion project and a platform to share what works, what doesn’t, and what’s worth your time and money.
Powered by Passion. Paired for Progress.
We’re not trainers, influencers, or gear junkies — just two people who believe that with the right tools, mindset, and partnership, you can show up strong every day. Thanks for being part of this community.
Let’s lift smarter. Stay consistent. And keep leveling up — together.
– Perrin & Jeff
