A new chapter for training at TAC

Starting Monday 14 September 2026, we’re introducing new strength programming, extra class times and refreshed classes at Teneriffe Athletic Club.

You can look forward to a clearer training structure, more flexibility to fit sessions into your week and new tools to help you track your progress. Whether you’re a class regular or looking to get started, there’ll be options to suit your experience and goals.

We’re excited to announce that Chris Chan will be leading our Strength and Conditioning programs. Some of you already know Chris from his PT sessions around the club.

An Exercise Scientist with almost a decade of experience across strength and conditioning, allied health and athletic performance, he brings a thoughtful approach to helping people move well and get stronger.

More opportunities to build strength

Our Strength program will follow an Upper, Lower and Full Body split, with new 7am sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus a Saturday morning class.

• Tuesday: Upper Body at 5am, 6am and new 7am.

• Thursday: Lower Body at 5am, 6am and new 7am.

• Saturday: Full Body at 6am, a new class.
  

Saturday’s Full Body session will run in the back functional area, giving us space for more dynamic movements and giving you another opportunity to fit in a second strength session when weekdays get busy.

Chris has mapped out the next six months of programming to keep you challenged and progressing, with clear training phases built around three- to four-week blocks. Main lifts stay consistent through each phase so you can build momentum, while supporting exercises change between blocks to keep things fresh.

Expect options to suit different abilities, plus short videos from Chris explaining each block’s focus and what you’re working towards.

ESD becomes Conditioning

Our Monday, Wednesday and Friday ESD classes will become Conditioning Classes, with each day taking a different focus across the week:

• Aerobic: Longer intervals and active recovery to build endurance.

• Anaerobic: Shorter, sharper efforts at a higher intensity.

• Mixed modal: Dumbbells and functional movements combined with cardio machines.

New class caps

Class caps help us provide quality coaching, individual attention and a more organised space for all members to train. Booking every class in the TAC member app is essential.

• Strength: 20 members per class.

• Conditioning & HYROX: 16 members per class.
  

Book your classes through the TAC App, then "check-in" at the door as you enter the gym. Your attendance will be recorded automatically for your booked class.

A note on bookings

Please book with intention and cancel promptly if your plans change, so everyone can make the most of our class timetable.
