It’s always a good day for a ride here at TAF… 🚴‍♂️

Spin is one of our most popular sessions — and for good reason.
So we’ve made sure there are plenty of chances to get involved across the week.

Early bird? We’ve got you.
After work de-stress? Covered.
Fancy a sweat with a side of questionable music choices? You’re in the right place.

Here’s how it’s looking:

🔥 6:30am crew
Three early morning rides with Joey & Dan
(Strong coffee energy required… optional)

🔥 9:00am sessions
Three morning spins with Jodie & Joey
(Still counts as productive, promise)

🔥 Evening rides from 17:30
Five chances to ride with James, Dan & Joey
(Lights down, music up, end your day properly)

Every instructor brings their own vibe — some playlists better than others… we’ll let you decide 😏

The best part?
You control the intensity.
Beast it. Cruise it. Just get moving.

You work hard.
In the gym. At work. At home. Sometimes all three in one day.

So here’s your reminder…
👉 You also need to slow down.

Yoga at TAF isn’t about being the most flexible in the room.
It’s about giving your body a break, your mind some space, and walking out feeling better than when you walked in.

Breathe. Move. Reset.

Guided by our experienced instructors, these sessions are designed to help you switch off, loosen up, and recharge—so you can go again tomorrow.

Today | 10:00 | with Hannah

There’s still time to book in…
Don’t overthink it—just show up.

What are macros? And how do you work them out?

If you’ve ever wondered what “macros” actually are, here’s the simple version:

Macros = the nutrients your body uses for energy.

🥩 Protein (muscle repair & recovery) → 4 kcals per gram
🍞 Carbs (your main fuel source) → 4 kcals per gram
🥑 Fat (hormones, health & long-lasting energy) → 9 kcals per gram

How to work out calories?
Just multiply the grams by the numbers above.

That’s it.

No magic. No mystery. Just numbers.

Unless… you want to feel like a scientist 🧪

This weekend isn’t about being perfect — it’s about balance.
Move your body, get some fresh air, have a laugh… then absolutely demolish that Easter egg without guilt 😏

Because let’s be honest — one weekend won’t undo your progress…
…but skipping your movement, your routine, and your “feel good” habits might 👀

So here’s your plan:
✔️ Move a little
✔️ Rest a little
✔️ Recharge properly
✔️ Eat the chocolate anyway

We’ll be here ready to get you feeling your best all spring long 🌱

TAF — where balance > perfection. Always.

BODY SCULPT — Your Main Meal 🍽️💪

Monday & Friday | 18:00

If you’ve been with us a while… you’ll know this class has had a few glow-ups.

We’ve gone from
👉 45-minute full sessions
👉 to music-based workouts with some weights
👉 to now… a sharp, focused 30-minute weights class

And honestly? This is where it’s meant to be.

Because Body Sculpt now sits perfectly in your evening:

Starter: 17:30 Spin Express 🚴‍♂️
Main: 18:00 Body Sculpt 🍽️
Dessert: 18:30 Vinyasa Flow 🧘‍♀️

(Friday… you’re on the lunch menu only — no dessert for you 😂)



🍽️ The Main Event

This is your main meal — and it should be treated like one.

We break it into 3 sections:

1️⃣ Lower Body Focus
45s work / 15s rest × 8 rounds
Controlled, strong, and where we build the base.

2️⃣ Core + Engine
40s work / 20s rest × 6 rounds
Core work mixed with bodyweight / plyometric movements…
This is where it starts to get spicy 🌶️

3️⃣ Upper Body Focus
45s work / 15s rest × 8 rounds
Finishing strong, building strength where it shows.



💡 Why the change?

Simple.

➡️ Better coaching
➡️ More focus on how you move
➡️ And most importantly…
➡️ Getting you confident using more weight

Because that’s where the magic happens.



💪 Why weight training matters (especially if you’re still avoiding it…)

Let’s clear this up:
• You will not “bulk up” overnight
• You will get stronger, leaner, and more defined
• It helps boost metabolism (burn more even when you’re not training)
• Supports bone density (massive as we get older)
• Improves posture, confidence, and everyday strength
• And makes everything else feel easier… including your cardio



You can keep doing the same thing and hoping for change…

Or you can start picking things up that challenge you 👀

Body Sculpt. Monday & Friday. 18:00.
Your main meal is waiting. 🍽️ other weight based classes are available at target along with personal training if you really want to fast track your progress.

We run five yoga classes a week at Target Active Fitness:

Monday 9:30am & 6:30pm
Wednesday 6:30pm
Friday 9:30am
Saturday 10:00am )that is tomorrow you know!!)

You do not need to be a member to join us.
It’s just £6.50 per class.

But here’s where it gets interesting…

For £36.50 a month, you get 12 classes.
For £43.50 a month, you get unlimited classes.

That’s not just yoga.
That’s your entire week of training sorted.

Because we’re not a one-trick pony.

Alongside yoga, you’ve got:
Pilates. Strength & conditioning. Spin. Circuits. Gym access.

So instead of paying for multiple places, juggling memberships, or trying to piece together a routine…
you’ve got everything under one roof.

Our yoga alone covers Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Hatha, all taught by experienced instructors who bring their own energy to every class.

Meaning you can:
Move well.
Build strength.
Improve mobility.
And actually enjoy doing it.

All in one place.
For less than most people spend on a couple of coffees a week.

So the real question is…

why are you still thinking about it instead of booking in?

Try This Move 👇 Hex Bar Deadlift

Not all deadlifts are created equal…

If you’ve ever felt unsure about lifting from the floor, this is your move 👇

The Hex Bar Deadlift keeps the weight centred around you — meaning better posture, less strain on your back, and a much more natural lifting position.

👉 Easier to learn
👉 Safer on your back
👉 Builds full-body strength
👉 Great for confidence & progression

Whether you’re just starting out, coming back from injury, or looking to lift heavier with better form… this one ticks all the boxes.

Strong. Simple. Effective.

📍 We’ll coach you through it every step of the way at Target Active Fitness — so you can lift well, and keep progressing.

Give it a go next session 💪

STRONGER, NOT JUST OLDER 💪

A balanced approach to fitness will always matter…
cardio, mobility, rest — it all has its place.

But especially for women 40+… that’s right you
strength training becomes the foundation.

Here’s why 👇

As we age, especially around menopause 😳, hormone levels begin to change — particularly oestrogen.
This naturally leads to a loss of muscle mass and a reduction in bone density.

And that’s where weight training becomes so powerful.

✨ Builds & preserves muscle – helping you stay strong, capable, and injury-resistant
✨ Protects bone health – reducing the risk of osteoporosis
✨ Boosts metabolism – making it easier to manage body fat and energy levels
✨ Supports joints – stronger muscles = better stability for knees, hips & shoulders
✨ Improves confidence – not just how you look, but how you feel
✨ Future-proofs your body – so you can stay independent and active for years to come

This isn’t about getting bulky.
It’s about becoming strong, resilient, and hard to break.

The truth is — many women focus on cardio…
but strength training is often the missing piece.

And no, you don’t need to be “fit” to start.
You just need the right environment and the right coaching.

Our selection of weight based classes is built for exactly this 👇
✔️ Supportive
✔️ Coached
✔️ Scalable to all abilities
✔️ Designed to build real strength and confidence

👉 Book in. Show up. Get stronger.
