My name’s Tara and my goal is to make exercise accessible and, more importantly, fun for everyone.
I run a range of exercise classes around the Crayford, Belvedere and Aylesford areas and I make a point of catering to people of all different abilities, ages and fitness levels. Have you ever been to a class or gym and felt totally overwhelmed? You worry that everyone else is fitter than you, that they know the class better or that the instructor won’t take your level and needs into account so you hide away at the back of the room and vow never to go again…
I want to challenge those experiences; to create classes where people can come along and have a great time, whether they’re a lifelong fitness fanatic or a total newbie. I’ve worked as a fitness instructor for the past Fifteen years and before that I played International Football so I’ve met all sorts of people with all sorts of goals and abilities, and I can tell you for certain that there’s an exercise to suit you: all you need is the right instructor. So take a look at my list of classes, find me on Facebook and join in the Fearless revolution!
Monday night Core & Tone is at St Mary Of The Crays Church Hall, Old Road, Crayford at 6.30pm.
Kettlebell classes are at All Saints Church Hall in Belvedere on Tuesday’s at 6.30pm and Saturday’s at 10am. These classes will also be live via Zoom for those that can’t make the classes in person.
My Thursday Shadow Boxing class starts at 6.30pm and is only on Zoom.
For Zoom classes, please get in touch for details.
Please see the timetable below for up to date info.
Classes
Core & Tone
The main focus of the Core & Tone class is to increase overall body strength by using a variety of equipment and our own bodyweight. The main focus will be on improving core strength as this can help with better balance, movement, posture and injury prevention. Core & Tone, just like all my classes, are suitable for all abilities so you’ll never feel left behind! A 10 minute stretching session concludes the class and helps with flexibility in the hamstrings, hip flexors, groins and back.
What my Clients say…
I came to Tara’s class purely by chance. The first session took me days to get over but I loved every minute. I went home and told the old man, who played a very good standard of sport in his youth, that Tara’s class was exceptional and that he should try it. He didn’t! For months! Exercise classes were not for him. Months later I got him there and now he’s addicted. We both find Tara so motivating and have both changed shape. The classes are as hard or as easy as you want and every fitness level is catered for in every class. Neither of us can believe that Tara has not been nabbed by some England set up for her talents. Her enthusiasm is inspiring and we all regularly stand there open mouthed at her ability and fitness.

Kettlebells
Kettlebells have been around for years and there is a reason for that, they’re one of the most effective pieces of fitness equipment you will ever come across. They are great for improving strength, flexibility and posture and they work a whole range of muscle groups, which results in higher levels of fat burning.
What my Clients say…
Tara’s classes are just fabulous. The people are really friendly and everyone has fun. Tara is really positive and a great motivator and she encourages everyone to try their best and you can see the improvements in fitness and strength both in yourself and in others. I love Kettlebells, Core & Tone and the Zoom Shadow Boxing Class – the classes are always different and I really enjoy not knowing what each class will involve until I am there! Tara’s classes are simply the best!

Zoom Shadow Boxing Class
This class is great for fat burning as we will do a variety of easy to follow Boxing combinations as well as core, abs and cardio exercises which work multiple muscle groups. It is a whole body workout, focusing on improving overall muscular strength, cardio fitness and core strength. For beginners there are always easier options and you can go at your own pace.
What my Clients say…
“Having been a member of the gym for ages and not really loving it, my Mum suggested I joined her for Tara’s Core & Tone class. Safe to say I was addicted straight away and wanted to try all the other classes too! Tara is so personal, she motivates everyone and changes up exercises to suit all levels. The people in her classes are all so friendly and make you feel really comfortable. I’ve come so far on my fitness journey this year and it’s all thanks to Tara!”

Prices
Crayford, Belvedere and Aylesford classes are all £6 per adult and £4 for under 16’s, which is to be paid either in advance or on the day, before the class commences. Payment can be made in cash or by bank transfer, if the latter, please contact me for my bank details.
All classes are suitable for people of all ages and abilities. You can pop along to a class whenever you like, or contact me for more info. I’d ask that you aim to arrive ten minutes before your first class so that I can get to know you and your requirements before we start and for you to fill out a health questionnaire.
Club Fitness
As well as running fitness classes, I also run sport specific fitness sessions for sports clubs, after school boxing and circuit workouts for school staff and boxing and circuit workouts for small groups of family and friends who wish to train together.
I have previously done pre-season training for a men’s and women’s football team and Bexleyheath and Belvedere ladies hockey team. I am currently doing after school fitness training with two schools.
I also do workouts for local companies who wish to keep their staff fit and healthy and who want to build comradery, so if you are interested please get in touch.
