This is your opportunity to start building strength from the comfort of your own home using resistance bands.

We’ll give you everything you need to get going. You’ll have access to a fully structured programme, either through our 25-page PDF or via our online app, with clear guidance on what to do, how to do it, and how to progress. The aim is simple… help you get stronger, move better, and improve your overall health and wellbeing.

We’ve had a lot of enquiries about our one-to-one and small group sessions recently. At the moment, those are running close to capacity or with a waiting list, so we wanted to create another way to support you in the meantime.

For a limited time, we’re offering our Resistance Training at Home programme at a reduced rate of £25 per month.

All you’ll need is a one-off purchase of some resistance bands, and you’re good to go. You can join for a month to learn the basics and build confidence, or stick with us longer for continued progression, new workouts, and extra support through our members’ emails.

If you’ve been thinking about getting started but weren’t sure where to begin, this is a pretty good place to start.

Drop us a message and we’ll get you set up.

Small group availability this week

We have a few spaces available in our small group training sessions this coming week.

If you’re already a member and missed a session recently because of holiday or time away, this could be a good chance to make up your missed session.

If you’re new to Active Living Fitness and have been thinking about starting, one of these spaces could also be a great opportunity to come along for a taster session.

Some of these spaces may become permanent, but not all of them, so we can chat through what might work for you.

All places must be booked in advance.

Interested? Give us a shout.

Just a reminder that there are no sessions tomorrow (Monday). We hope you all enjoy the long weekend!

We asked some of our members what they’d say to someone who’s thinking about joining us at Active Living Fitness…

Here’s what Cathy and David had to say.

“Give it a try, we can’t think of a better way to begin the journey to strength, fitness and future proofing your body”

It’s always nice for us to talk about what we do, but it means so much more coming from the people who actually walk through the door.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, but you’re not quite sure if it’s for you, you’re definitely not the only one. Most of the people you see in our sessions felt exactly the same before they began.

Get in touch if you’d like to have a chat or come and see what we’re all about.

We’ve had some interest in a Saturday morning small group… so we’re making it happen.

Starting this week
Saturday | 8:30am | with Yas

We’ve already got a couple of people booked in, which means there are just four spaces left.

Every session is coach-led, focused on building strength, improving confidence, and helping you move better for everyday life.
We keep things personal, with a maximum of six people, and everything is adaptable to suit where you’re currently at. Whether you’re completely new to training or looking to build on what you’ve already started, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

If Saturday mornings sound like your kind of thing, get in touch to book your place.

They don’t hang around for long…

A brilliant couple of days for Kayleigh this weekend, attending a two-day CIMSPA recognised Adaptive Training course with Pantheon in Plymouth.

This course focused on developing the skills to coach and support individuals who may need adaptations within their training, something that sits right at the heart of what we do.

Across the two days, there was a huge amount of learning, hands-on practice, and new ideas to bring into our sessions. It was also an absolute privilege to meet and learn from some incredible athletes, including Doaa Shayea, and Cai Vickers. Hearing their stories and seeing their performance up close was genuinely inspiring.

For us, this is about continuing to build an environment where training works for the individual. One that is supportive, adaptable, and focused on helping people move well, build strength, and feel confident.

This qualification means we can now offer even more tailored support to our members, safely and effectively, while continuing to make our sessions as inclusive as possible.

Looking forward to putting this into practice

Big moment this weekend

Huge congratulations to Demelza Short on making her debut for the Red Roses against Scotland today!

At just 19, Demelza will earn her first England cap in the Women’s Six Nations, an incredible achievement and a special moment in any player’s career. 

What makes this even more special for us is that Demelza started her rugby journey at Launceston Rugby Club, and she’s the granddaughter of two of our members, Jill and John, who will certainly be cheering her on.

We know just how proud you both are, and rightly so.

Kick-off is at 1:15pm if you’re watching along.

Wishing you all the very best, Demelza. What a moment. What a journey. And just the beginning

Movement highlight: Negative pull ups!

Over the last few months in our small group sessions, we’ve been working towards one of the most common goals we hear… getting a full pull up.

We’ve been building things up step by step.

Starting with lat pull downs on the cable machine to develop strength in the back and arms. That’s given people a really solid base to work from.

This month, we’ve moved onto negative pull ups.

A negative pull up focuses on the lowering part of the movement. You start at the top position and slowly lower yourself down under control. It might not look like much, but this is where a lot of the strength is built.

You are naturally stronger lowering than lifting, so it’s a great way to build strength in the right muscles without needing to do a full pull up yet. It also helps with control, technique and confidence on the bar.

In our groups, there’s always a way to make things work for everyone.

- Some are using bands for support
- Some are focusing on grip strength with dead hangs
- Others are working on scapular pull ups to build that initial pulling strength

Different starting points, same direction.

That’s how we keep sessions inclusive, supportive and progressive.

We’re growing… and we need your help!

Active Living Fitness is expanding.

Over the past 12 months, demand for our service has grown beyond what our current space can support. Rather than making our existing space bigger, we’re looking to replicate what we do best, a private, safe and supportive environment for people who often feel out of place in traditional gyms.

So, we’re on the lookout for an additional premises.

We’re ideally looking for:
• Around 100 square metres
• Parking outside
• Access to a toilet

It doesn’t need to be a traditional commercial unit. We’re open-minded. It also doesn’t need to be an a ready to go state, where happy to discuss works that may need completing.

It could be:
• An unused space on a farm
• A spare room within an existing business
• A sports facility, cricket club, school or care home
• A holiday park, medical centre or village hall
• Even part of an existing gym looking to expand

If you have space, or know someone who might, we’d love to have a conversation.

We can provide references, financial checks, and we’re always open to discussing how the space could work for you too.

If something comes to mind, please get in touch. We are aware of all properties listed locally with agents, our post is aimed at finding something a little different.

Drop us a message or email us directly info@activelivingfitness.co.uk

Our Stronger for Longer members enjoyed their session outdoors this evening, training as the sun went down.
We were able to listen to the birds, soak up some vitamin D, all whilst building muscles and stronger bones.

These sessions are fully funded by Active Cornwall.
We’ll be making the most of this great outdoor space throughout the good weather, with the benefit of using Liskerrett Hall when the weather turns bad.

This was the first week of our new block of exercises, and it was great to see everybody giving everything a go, even the Dead-bugs!!

We’re so lucky to have access to this space and to be able to provide this opportunity to people in the community free of charge.
