✨ Guest Yoga Teacher This Saturday ✨

We are lucky enough to have a special guest teacher joining us this Saturday at 10:00am.

Rachel, a friend of Hannah from Alchemy Yoga, trained at House of Om in Bali in 2025 and teaches a multidisciplinary style of yoga including both Hatha and Vinyasa.

A long-time yoga practitioner herself, Rachel originally found yoga as a way to complement her weight training. She quickly fell in love with the different kind of strength yoga develops — connecting the mind to every inch of the body. Her classes are dynamic, fun and focused on building strength, balance and confidence.

To be honest, we think that’s a perfect fit for our TAF members.

There are currently just 6 spaces left in Saturday’s 10:00am class, so if you’ve been thinking about trying yoga, this is your sign.

Show your support for TAF, Hannah and Rachel by coming along and giving it a go.

And remember…

Nobody cares if you’re good at yoga.

We care that you show up.
We care that you try.
We care that you invest an hour in yourself.

Members can book as normal.

Non-members are very welcome too, and your first class is completely FREE using code TAFIT1.

STRENGTH TRAINING ISN’T A GIMMICK.

Somewhere along the way, “strength training” became a buzzword.

A few light dumbbells.
A mat.
A sweaty 30-minute workout.

And whilst those sessions absolutely have their place, especially for home workouts or when time is tight, let’s not confuse them with actually building strength.

At Target Active Fitness, we believe training should have intention.

If the goal is strength, then the equipment, programming and coaching should reflect that goal.

Strength isn’t built through random exercises thrown together to make you sweat.

It’s built through progressive overload.
It’s built through learning movement patterns.
It’s built through consistency.
It’s built through lifting a little more, moving a little better, and becoming a little stronger week after week.

That’s why you’ll find squat racks, barbells, cable machines, kettlebells, dumbbells and conditioning equipment in our classes.

Because if we’re asking you to get stronger, we should provide the tools to make that happen.

No gimmicks.
No magic shortcuts.
No endless “arms and abs” classes pretending to be strength training.

Just purposeful training, delivered by coaches who understand the process.

Because strength takes time.

And anything worth building deserves to be respected.

WHY LIFTING WEIGHTS WON’T MAKE YOU BULKY

One of the biggest myths we still hear from women is:

“I don’t want to lift weights because I don’t want to get bulky.”

The reality?

For most women, lifting weights doesn’t create a bulky physique. It creates a stronger, leaner, healthier body.

✅ More muscle tone
✅ Increased strength
✅ Better posture and balance
✅ Stronger bones and joints
✅ Higher metabolism
✅ More confidence

Building significant muscle mass takes years of dedicated training, a calorie surplus, and often genetics that favour muscle growth.

What most women actually experience from strength training is:

✨ Feeling stronger
✨ Looking more toned
✨ Having more energy
✨ Improving body composition
✨ Being able to do more in everyday life

At Target Active Fitness, we don’t train women to become bodybuilders.

We train women to be strong, capable and confident for life.

If you’re over 40, strength training is one of the best investments you can make in your future health.

Strong is not bulky.

Strong is powerful.

Strong is freedom.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRAIN PERFECTLY.

You just need to keep showing up.

Too many people think one missed session means they’ve failed.

Missed Monday?
Train Tuesday.

Had a busy week?
Get back in next week.

Ate off plan at the weekend?
Make your next meal a good one.

The people who get results aren’t the people who are perfect.

They’re the people who stay consistent for months and years.

One missed session won’t stop your progress.

Quitting because you missed one session will.

At Target Active Fitness, we’re far more interested in what you do most of the time than what you do occasionally.

Keep moving.
Keep turning up.
Keep building momentum.

Because consistency beats extremes.
Every. Single. Time.

Cardio is great…

…but cardio alone isn’t enough as we get older.

Muscle mass matters.
Not just for “looking toned” — but for everyday life.

Strength training helps you:

• Support your joints
• Protect your bones
• Boost your metabolism
• Improve balance and stability
• Stay stronger as you age
• Keep doing the things you actually enjoy doing

And no… lifting weights doesn’t mean becoming a bodybuilder.

It means carrying shopping bags easier.
Getting up off the floor easier.
Feeling stronger.
Moving better.
Ageing well.

That’s exactly why classes like:

• Body Sculpt
• Strength & Conditioning
• Gym Based Circuits
• “What Dan Wants To Do” 👀

are such an important part of what we do at TAF.

No egos.
No pressure.
Just proper coaching, sensible progressions, and sessions designed for real people.

Most of our members are 40+.
Many started nervous about weights.
Now they wish they’d started sooner.

Ready to feel stronger?

Come and give it a go.

WHY STRENGTH TRAINING MATTERS MORE AFTER 40 💪

A lot changes as we get older…Muscle mass naturally decreases.Bones become weaker.Balance and mobility can start to decline.

But here’s the good news:Strength training helps fight back against all of it.

At Target Active Fitness, we don’t train to “look like influencers.”We train so life feels easier, stronger, and more enjoyable.

✔ Better jointsStrong muscles support and protect the joints around them.

✔ Better balanceStrength training improves stability, coordination, and confidence moving.

✔ More energyRegular training helps reduce fatigue and improves day-to-day energy levels.

✔ Stronger bonesLifting weights helps maintain bone density as we age.

✔ ConfidenceThere’s something powerful about feeling physically capable again.

And before anyone says:“No no… weights aren’t for me…”

Most of our members probably said the same thing once.

You do not need to be fit to start.You do not need experience.You just need to begin.

No egos.No pressure.Just proper coaching, good people, and training that actually works.
