Ethan Savage: All-Strong Strength & Performance

The Nature of Motivation is Changing, But What Can We Do About It?

new episode of the podcast is a bit of a hot take. Try it out and see how it resonates.

(I Think) The Nature of Motivation is Changing, But What Can We Do About It? by The All-Strong Podcast The world has changed a lot in recent years, but we've had no help to deal with it. This year especially, we're seeing record lows in motivation levels across the board. I think I have some ideas on where it's come from and how we can deal with it moving forwards. If you want to hear the episode I t...

Have you heard the most recent episode of the yet? It's taken from a presentation that I did for a WI group on the misconceptions and truths surrounding strength training, and how it's really something everyone should try.

Both personally and professionally I've found that this month has listed a bit for a lot of people. It's been a weird ride, with lots of us finding it hard to remember why we're even awake et alone up and about.

Aside from tonight's mindset seminar on goal-setting in March, one thing you can do to try and reassess where you are is to set your intentions.

Sit down with yourself and try to physically write out what it is that makes you want to do what you do. Draft it a few times until you come up with something that really gets you going.

Once you've got it, see what you need to do to take steps to get on track and align yourself with it.

Are you struggling to keep up the motivation for your new year goals now that we're a quarter of the way down? If so, you won't want to miss tomorrow's seminar on managing the March slump!

I'd highly recommend this session to anyone who has trouble keeping their motivation levels up at any time of year, let alone now - just head to the website to book.

From SK Chayka to Ballymena United Youth Academy! UKRAINIAN teenager Jenya Petrov is enjoying his football with Ballymena United Under-15s. When Russia invaded his country just over a year ago Jenya and his mother Karyna were forced to flee and now live in the townland of Killyless outside Cullybackey.

Strength Solves Everything: True Barbell Therapy

What do you think of the title for a portfolio project I'm putting together?

I've been thinking fairly hard about what to do for this, but after a weekend of deliberation, I decided to settle on one of my oldest brand slogans.

All being well, I'd like to interview some present and past clients to talk to them about how the simple origins of their personal programs has impacted their wider lifestyles. Looking over the notes I've taken since many people started, I've noticed a lot of fascinating details about how people's attitudes and behaviours have changed, and I'm very excited to explore that in depth.

not only will the whole project act as a great testimonial - I'm hoping it'll also inspire some doubters to pick up a barbell and see what it does for them!

The latest episode of the dropped yesterday! Have you heard it yet? It's all about how to handle things when they don't turn out the way you planned.

Thanks to for featuring!

Workshops are really hitting stride!

Had an absolute blast last week at the team workshop. @ , our resident HIIT expert, gave us a fantastic presentation on the differences between HIIT and MetCon before taking us through a class in the new V1BE studio. What an afternoon!

Not every session is going to be as hands-on, but they'll each be rewarding in their own way and I'm excited to see where they lead us in 2023.

Not sure what to do getting started? has an option on the class booking system to let you book one-on-one time with me (and other members of staff) as part of your membership to help you talk about your goals and how you can get started on track towards meeting them!

Just out! The latest episode of the with ! We talk about common fitness myths, how to avoid and debunk them, as well as how not to let them trap you when starting out on your fitness journey.

Come and join in the conversation here: https://anchor.fm/all-strong/episodes/Jordan-Pattison-Getting-Started-with-Your-Training--Debunking-Fitness-Myths-e1t5ccp

Remember that you can submit questions for future episodes too!

Taking "lead by example" a step further

Workshops are going strong in 2023 - last week saw a few of us get together with Tim Hawksworth so that he could show us how to analyse running gait.

Unfortunately, since suggested the topic I ended up also being the one guinea pigging on the treadmill.

Thankfully, my gait wasn't as awful as I was anticipating!

Looking forward to how we can continue to share ideas and expertise as 2023 continues.

Say hello to the man with all the V1BES.

Massive congratulations to on being appointed our new co-ordinator.

Anyone who has participated in any of Kurtis’ classes knows why he is the perfect person for this roll.

Congratulations from all the team.

Strength is for Everyone!

Had a fantastic time last night presenting to the Randalstown branch of the WI. Hopefully opened a lot of eyes to the benefits of training to be strong, especially as the body ages.

Possibly the most rewarding part of the evening was seeing people react to various regressions of common bodyweight exercises - most people turn away from things before they get a chance to try them, but by introducing easier alternatives, things become more accessible to everyone!

All being well, I'll be publishing the audio and presentation portion of the evening as a podcast episode in March.

Things are looking good for the All-Strong podcast so far! 5 episodes are ready to go and there are more in the pipes to be recorded and released every other Friday!
