Strength training reduces risk of early death by 31%!!!

Sounds a bit morbid to throw that stat out there but it's true. For the majority of our members (and myself) lifting weights isn't about how we look. It's about how we perform and bulletproofing us for later life 💪

All it takes is as little as 2x30 minute sessions per week to see amazing results 💃🏼

Don't believe me (or the research 👀😂) then pop into a class and try it out for free for yourself! 🌟

How to start lifting with zero experience!

The first thing I recommend is getting along to one of our classes (obv 😂) but if you're wanting to head to the gym in the meantime then here's a few of things you can do to set you up for success:

1) Create a goal & make a plan!
What is it you want to achieve? This focus allows you to do a little bit of research and start to develop a mini plan of what you're going to do in the gym when you go. Once you know what your goal is, work backwards and find exercises that align with your goal.

2) Not comfortable using dumbbells or barbells yet? (Get along to our classes! Honestly, it's great 😂) You can try using the machines at your local gym. They are great for getting you up and running without the faff and they guide you through the movements.

3) Stick to this for at least 3 months. If you can manage 2x30 minute sessions per week for 3 months, you'll be amazed at your results.

& Again... If you're really not sure where to start then you are always welcome to come along and try one of our classes for FREE 🏋️‍♂️

1️⃣ Research Friday — Strength Training & Fat Loss

Did you know 🌟

Research consistently shows that resistance training preserves lean muscle during a calorie deficit, which keeps your metabolism higher.

Cardio burns calories during a workout BUT strength training burns calories during AND after, thanks to increased muscle repair.

Takeaway: Lift 2–3× per week minimum if fat loss is your goal 💪

And if you're at a loss... You can always come along to our beginner friendly weightlifting club 💪

New members get a free trial to test it out. Simply complete the form below and we will set you up for coming along:

Every Wednesday is now going to be "How To Wednesdays" where we share as much actionable advice around helping you make progress with your resistance training journey 💪

Starting with....

1️⃣ How To: Perfect Your Squat

Most squat problems come from one fix: better bracing.

Here’s the quick cue system:

1. Feet rooted (big toe, little toe, heel)
2. Big breath in
3. Brace like someone is about to poke your ribs
4. Sit between your hips, not forward
5. Drive up through your heels

Try this: Film your squat from the side today (if using a big gym make sure you're not recording anyone or have permission!). Compare your depth, torso angle, and knee tracking. Adjust one thing 💃🏼

Our awesome member Paul has signed up for the London Marathon next year!

He's raising money for Action on Pre-Eclampsia as part of his training so if you are in a position to spare a few quid, here's the link to support him:

https://2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/paul-kelly?utm_source=enthuse&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=f-LMnurture&utm_content=LMpageURL&utm_campaign=website&utm_medium=email&utm_source=enthuse

He's been smashing his programme over the last couple of months having not ran in over a decade to now hitting 18km runs so it's been a big push for him and we are buzzing to support him along the way 💪

P.S I'm sure he'd agree, he's not a runner... This is a big challenge and it's a great cause so every little helps 😊

All About Get Active Coaching CIC

Get Active Coaching was established in October 2019 as a sport and exercise business with one simple mission: help get more children and adults active through sport and physical activity. It was set up by me! My name is Martin, and I started this business as I love all things sport and exercise. I wanted to find a way that I could use my passion, experience and knowledge to benefit others.

I have been involved in sport all my life and reached a high level in my younger days in both rugby and football. I have been a Rugby Developmment Officer for Scottish Rugby, which is where I gained a huge amount about how to implement sport and exercise in the community. Except this time, its not just for rugby, it is for every sport you can think of. Since my time as a Rugby Development Officer, I have completed my BSC (Hons) in Sport, Fitness and Coaching, achieved numerous sport coaching qualifications, which has given me the foundation to start and build Get Active Coaching!

Now, back to business. Get Active Coaching has recently achieved a huge milestone: We are now a Community Interest Company! I have spent the last 6 months creating partnerships with local organisations to develop working relationships, business parnerships and even assemble a small coaching workforce to help me with my delivery. I can now begin to make a bigger impact in the community through sport and exercise and help people live a healthier lifestyle as a result.
