Strength Chat

In this week's Strength Chat I was joined by the creator of Autism Fitness, Eric Chessen.   We all know the physical and mental benefits the gym can have on people, however, there are still some populations where the gym environment isn’t able to meet their needs. This is where Eric has worked hard to create and adapt gym spaces for people with Autism.  In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered:  How Eric created Autism Fitness  The common mistakes he sees from other gyms and coaches when working with people with Autism  Programming and communication when working with someone with Autism  Follow Eric via the following links:   👉 @theautismfitness  👉 https://www.autismfitness.com/Home   Follow Coach Cuthbert via the following links:  👉@coach_cuthbert  👉@strength_chat  👉 Strength Chat Podcast

It was an absolute pleasure to have this guy as a guest on Strength Chat. This week I was joined by a Bodybuilder, Personal Trainer and Online Coach who has finished in the top 3 in his last 10 shows, Andrew Briggs.  With a lot of people talking about following the bodybuilding lifestyle, it’s very different to actually doing it. Andrew has been there and kept doing it. It was a great chat, going beyond what people see on social media and what it actually takes to be a bodybuilder.   In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered:  Life balance as a bodybuilder  The challenges that come with being a bodybuilder  Lessons learnt from competing in bodybuilder  Follow Andrew via the following links:   👉 @the_action_man_pt  Follow Coach Cuthbert via the following links:  👉@coach_cuthbert  👉@strength_chat  👉 Strength Chat Podcast

It was an absolute pleasure to be joined in this week's Strength Chat by a powerlifting legend and coach, Isabella von Weissenberg.  Isabella has competed at the very top of powerlifting where she broke records and won titles. However, she also took time away from powerlifting which can be difficult for a sport that can demand so much.  It was great to chat with Isabella about her mindset and her journey in and out of powerlifting.  In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered:  Stepping away from powerlifting and her change in mindset  Lessons learned from competing at the elite level of powerlifting  How her training has changed now she is looking to compete again  Follow Isabella via the following links:   👉 @isabellavonweissenberg  Follow Coach Cuthbert via the following links:  👉@coach_cuthbert  👉@strength_chat  👉 Strength Chat Podcast 

In this week's Strength it was another special episode as I joined by my very first co-host, Tom Hill of Steel Habitat.   We had the pleasure of chatting with CrossFit coach and athlete, as well as a coach of coaches, Christopher Lavelle.   As both myself and Tom have gravitated to training the team of coaches we work with, the content and information that Christopher produces has filled us with confidence that we are on the right path.
