Ian Anderen | The Maxout Podcast

Kinesiology student at Samford University Ian Andersen (@the_lift_doctor on IG/TikTok) sat down with Will to discuss his interesting and inspirational story with fitness. They share the benefits of the barbell on mental health and wellness, as strength training brought them both out of mentally bad places in their lives. They also talk about the transition many lifters make from general fitness into powerlifting and/or Olympic lifting and the benefits of that.

Talk Lift Heal X Big Bend Strength Conditioning

Talk Lift Heal X Big Bend Strength Conditioning

We are excited to be partnering up with Talk Lift Heal, to provide a new service in Tallahassee that combines strength training with talk therapy!

Talk Lift Heal was founded by Adrienne Capeless, MSW, with the mission of helping teens strengthen mind and body, by helping  overcome anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and eating disorders.

We’ve believed for a long time that mental and physical health are intertwined, and have seen the positive mental benefits of strength training first hand. That’s why we thought, what better way to continue to serve our community than by working with those who need strength training most!

This new service includes weekly Talk & Lift sessions with Coach Adrienne, and includes 5 other days of personalized strength coaching, designed to help lifters feel more confident, capable, and strong.

Pricing starts at

$120 for In-Person or Tele-Health On-Board Session, then $70/each for recurring sessions.

You can book your session or learn more about these services at the link in our bio, or go to www.talkliftheal.com!
