Lift Taunton

These are some of the things that we hear day in and day out when people discuss their approaches to try and get in better shape and improve their body composition.
You could do all of these things and it will have zero effect on changing how you look, if you don’t address the underlying principle of achieving a calorie deficit through controlling your nutrition.
Some studies have actually shown that individuals have gained fat as a result of doing cardio as it increases appetite and they end up in a net calorie surplus. Similarly eating ‘clean’ can have the same effect as a lot of these foods are calorie dense such as nuts and avocados. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t eat these foods as they also contain healthy fats which is essential for hormone function but the quantity needs to be controlled if your goal is fat loss.

The March member of the month is 👏🏼🎉🏆

Hannah started coming to LIFT back in 2024, and has been a consistent member ever since. Hannah first joined LIFT because she already did a lot of high intensity training in her current programme and wanted to add in some structured strength training.

Over the past 18 months Hannah has competed in several HYROX Sims, her first ever official HYROX competition in London and completed Taunton Half marathon, all whilst working on her goal of building her strength and improving her endurance alongside it.
One thing that we’re really proud of Hannah for, in this whole journey is that whilst completing all of these events, Hannah has been managing a number of different injuries and other significant life stresses which would have made it very easy to quit, but her resilience is what has shown through every single time.

Often when injuries occur it can lead to a lack of motivation and derail progress, but Hannah sets a perfect example of how you can still continue to train around an injury, progress towards a goal and not give up.

Hannah is a brilliant Lift member, she’s kind, supportive, empathetic and often puts others before herself to support them in their training and with their own goals.

Thank you Hannah for being such a great member, you thoroughly deserve this and we absolutely love having you as part of LIFT 👏🏼✨🫶🏼

How much training do you actually need to be fit and healthy? 👀

Based on current guidelines and the best available evidence, you can cover the essentials in under 3 hours per week.

That said — this is a minimum effective dose.
If your goal is to build a great physique, boost performance, or reach a higher level of fitness, you’ll need to go beyond this.

Start with the baseline. Then build from there.

If you want help getting started — drop us a message and come along.

Every week of training is specifically programmed with a mixture of LIFT sessions, HYROX sessions and BURN sessions.

Welcome to LIFT Taunton.

LIFT Taunton is based in Galmington Trading Estate, just off Wellington Road. There is plenty of parking available outside — we are just 6 minutes from the town centre and 4 minutes from Musgrove Park Hospital.

Our facility is purpose-built for Strength and Conditioning.

We specialise in resistance training to build strength, increase muscle mass, and improve body composition — delivered through our signature LIFT sessions.

We pride ourselves on teaching people how to lift weights properly. That means correct form, excellent technique, and building the kind of confidence that carries over into every session. Our coaches are approachable, supportive, and focused on helping you progress safely and effectively.

If you want to lift weights but feel like you need guidance, accountability, or a place where you’re not ‘just another member’, our small group strength training environment is built for you. You’ll get the attention you need, the structure to stay consistent and the coaching to keep improving week after week.

If you’re ready to feel stronger, move better, and train with purpose — this is your place and we can’t wait to meet you!
