share

STRONG Life Podcast ep 254 with Alan Thrall.

This was a LOG overdue podcast with Alan. I've been following Alan's training and online presence for a while now and it's been awesome to watch him and his business grow.

Alan is the owner of Untamed Strength in Sacramento, Ca. His gym caters to powerlifting, strongman and all around strength training. He is the sole owner / operator and has NO employees. He edits his own videos, runs his gym and is about to expand his gym for the 3rd time.

  • The influence of being in the Marines
  • What inspired Alan to start his training business, Untamed Strength
  • What effect covid had on his business, especially in California which has been brutal for gym owners

  • The ins and outs of running his gym which is a 24 hr gym
  • My $3K business lunch with Gary Vaynerchuk
  • Why your gym should NOT be everyone & Saying "No" to the wrong people who don't fit your vision
  • The "balance" of business & fatherhood
  • How covid impacted Alan's gym and how he adjusted to keep his business going strong

What a BEAST this interview was, loaded with wisdom from training, life and business.
