Lift Taunton

Have you always wanted to train under the supervision of a coach but found it too expensive?

Have you been going to the gym without following a program and are struggling to get results?

Keep reading as we have the answer!

Small group personal training allows you the best of both worlds when it comes to results-driven training that is more cost-effective. The popularity of small group personal training has grown mainly due to the fact that it is fun and is more affordable than the traditional one to one personal training service.

My small group sessions are unlike any others. Each member follows their own program which is adapted to them based on their ability and their goals.

When you become a member, you will train alongside a maximum of 7 other members. Each member follows their program for a period of 4 to 6 weeks and the programme will be changed if needed after regular reassessments.

Following a programme allows each member to train at a level which is safe yet challenging to them. Compared to group exercise classes where the workout changes every session and the workout might not be at a suitable level for each member. Every session you will be trained by myself to motivate you and ensure you are performing the exercises correctly.

🌞Sunday Meal Prep 🌞

Recently I have been preparing these bagels on a Sunday to save time during the week and stay on track to hitting my macros.

This is just over 650 calories, 50g of protein, 30g of carbs and 60g of carbs.

My overall calorie intake for the day is high and my maintenance calories are roughly 3,500. I tend to diet on 2500-3000. Most of the year I just eat around maintenance and try to recomposition over time (build muscle and lose fat).

Prepping on a Sunday makes it much easier to stay on track for the week, and I often recommend ‘calorie cycling’ (which is just having more calories on the weekend and less in the week) to balance your calories over the week to stay on track towards your goal, whether it’s building muscle or losing fat.

CLIENT PROGRESS 🙌🏼

Rich has lost 2.6kg in bodyweight and reduced his bodyfat percentage by 1.7% over the last 10 days

We’ve been focusing on creating a large calorie deficit each day (around 2,000 calories) to drop some weight quickly before a holiday

On top of this we have made sure protein intake is high and strength levels have not dropped to keep muscle mass

Whilst this approach is not sustainable for a long period of time it can get you down quick results over a short duration

Are you not sure what to do in the gym?
Are you feeling intimidated?
Do you have a lack of motivation?
Have you hit a plateau?

In a busy gym, it’s hard to get the help you need and personal trainers are expensive. Without expert guidance, it’s difficult to achieve your goals.

Our small group personal training sessions are designed to tackle these barriers, creating a supportive and effective training environment. We will provide the structure, support, and motivation you need to achieve your fitness goals.

These sessions are not like your typical group sessions. They are flexible, individualised and you go at your own pace. It is one to one personal training, in a group setting.

Contact me today to learn more and sign up for a trial session!

It was great to have Richard Capstick in the gym for a few sessions this week

The gym layout was modelled on world class strength and conditioning facilities from when I worked in sport so it was great to have a professional athlete come and make use of the facility!

If you are interested in starting your training or want to take your strength and fitness up a level we still have a weeks free trial on offer until the end of the month!

Congrats to Hamish who won both the 2km row with a time of 7mins 45 seconds and the trap bar deadlift challenge with 100 reps at our open day last weekend

If you want to become stronger, fitter and leaner don’t forget to take advantage of our free taster sessions and 20% off your first 4 weeks of training if you sign up before the end of the month!

It’s been an absolutely brilliant first week and I’m so pleased with the response I’ve had since the opening!!

The open day was a great success, and this week has been full of busy trial sessions, new faces and membership signups! We even had a little feature in the 👀 did anyone spot it?!

I’m really enjoying meeting everyone and I love finding out what you’re all looking to achieve or even just helping you to get started on your lifting journey!!

If you’re considering a new gym class or you’re looking to get started with some strength training then drop me a message and we can get you booked in for a free taster session 🙌✨🏋🏻‍♂️

The last finishing touches to the gym completed before our open morning tomorrow and before we start our brand new classes from next week!!

I would love for you all to come and see it and take a look around, so please pop along between 9 and 12 Saturday 1st June. We’re offering free body composition assessments and strength and conditioning challenges where you can win free classes!!!

This has been a far harder (and longer!) process than I thought it would be, but in 9 months I’ve gone from personal training in my parent’s garage with 0 clients to opening up my very own strength and conditioning gym and I can’t wait to share it with you all and take you all on the next steps of the journey!



If you would like more information on the training we do at Lift or would like to come along for a trial session, drop me a message or book in through the website.

Only 6 days to go until the launch!! We’re having an open day to celebrate and we would love to see you all there this Saturday 1 June 2024 between 9.30 and 11.30am 🗓️
Come along and say hi! Take a look around the gym and take part in our challenges for the chance to win some prizes! 🍾✨🏋🏻‍♂️

Exciting news!!! To celebrate the launch of the new gym I’m offering 20% off your first 4 weeks of small group personal training for all current and new clients, use code EARLYBIRD20 at checkout to redeem this offer.

The small group personal training sessions are for anyone looking to get stronger, fitter, leaner and healthier. They’re a combination of strength and conditioning in a one hour session.

This offer is valid between now and 1st June 2024.
This offer is not valid on 1-2-1 pt sessions.

It’s not all about lifting at LIFT! 🏋️‍♀️

One of the new additions we’ve introduced to the space is a cardio area. Whilst we firmly believe the foundation of any good training program is strength training we don’t neglect other components of training that improve health, wellbeing and body composition.

The small group pt programme is primarily strength training on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with Wednesday and Saturday having a greater emphasis on cardio and calorie burn!!

Drop me a message if you’re interested in joining or want some more information! Spaces on this programme are limited! 🙌

A lot of progress made and some big changes over the weekend at the new location!! We’re getting closer now to the official opening and I’m excited to share it with you all. Lots of new equipment now installed including the astro track and sleds which I can’t wait to start incorporating into some of the more functional group sessions. It would be great to get some new faces in the small group personal training sessions, if you’re looking to get into lifting or after a new group training programme send me a message!

LIFT Taunton just got bigger!!! I’m very excited to announce that LIFT will be expanding into a bigger space from June.
The last 10 months have been the hardest of my career to date, I genuinely can’t believe I’m in a position where I’m able to do this now and I can’t wait to see how the next year unfolds.

The new space is designed with a focus on elite strength and conditioning to enable me to deliver the best small group personal training in Taunton.

If you’re interested in finding out more information about what I offer, send me a message or join us for our opening day on 1st June!

Amazing progress! Just getting started :)

If you had told me in July by christmas i would lose 5lbs i wouldn’t of believed you.

I started PT sessions once a week to lose weight, which if you know me, was not going to happen because i love McDonalds & we had a US trip planned!
After a few sessions i realised how much i enjoyed going to so weight loss didn’t bother because & i had more energy… 6.30am starts 😴 wowwwww!

I now do 3 sessions a week thanks to my lovely wife 😂🥵 (i didn’t get much of a choice 😂) and I absolutely bloody love it!!!! My bank also loves the lack of McDonald’s!

I weighed myself this evening, because my clothes are better fitting, measurements are different & WOOOOHOOOO 🥳🥳🥳 16lbs since July!
I never weigh myself so i won’t be disheartened when it changes but this is all because of , the amazing sessions & encouragement he gives me!

If you are unsure about PT sessions please please check him out because Tom is an incredible coach, i can’t praise him enough!

His gym is also perfect & he has some REALLY affordable group sessions! ❤️

Here’s 3 things I see a lot of people doing, that after about 1-2 months of doing it they’re probably getting no benefit from it

Also the amount of people I have trained that have a ‘strong’ core from Pilates or yoga and struggle to do things like ab rollouts or reverse crunches

If you want to start progressing your training the first thing I suggest doing is writing out a program and tracking your training

Are you fed up of not seeing the results you want in the gym?

If you’re ready to start taking control of your training and nutrition and finally get the results you’ve always wanted send me a DM with the word ‘ready’ and I will arrange a consultation call with you

Win a month of free training with me in the lead up to Christmas!

I ensure my clients’ unique goals are achieved with a tailored approach. Whatever the goal, I deliver a real return on investment that surpasses anything that could be accomplished working in a regular gym with a regular trainer.
