Saul Payne from the Student Life team steps in as host being joined by Aneeka Tariq for East London Sport for a grounded, energising conversation on motivation, habits, and the inspirations that sustain both fitness journeys and wider life goals.

Together, Saul Payne and Aneeka Tariq explore why motivation often fades after the January highs of resolutions and “new year, new me” thinking. They unpack the emotional and practical reasons we lose momentum, and focus on the systems, routines, and mindset shifts that help reduce disappointment and keep progress consistent long after initial motivation runs out.
