Programs and Courses
We provide the skills, support, motivation and opportunities for people to gain courage and achieve their dreams.
Work Places
Zoom drinks and trivia nights are fun but itโs time to change it up a bit. Itโs more important than ever to find ways to connect and interact with your team- fostering the cohesion, creativity and morale that can sometimes be lacking working from home.
Organising a team building activity is a great way to say โthank youโ to your team, by having a day where they will bond with each other, and realise how appreciated all their hard work is.

Success Stories
I was in despair about everything, especially the loss of my valued yoga and pilates classes. I was sitting there and wondering what I was going to, when suddenly a FB message popped from TSA about PT sessions. I was so grateful that I was immediately able to get Molly as my trainer, and I started to feel instantly motivated. Molly is an absolute delight!!! I had so many enjoyable sessions with Molly. These sessions were an absolute highlight of my week, I really valued the opportunity. Not only did these sessions help motivate me and keep up my fitness, but it was a great opportunity to have some personal contact with someone. I spent more time with Molly than my family and friends! Molly has been encouraging and has continually tailored the sessions to suit my needs.
So, a huge thank you to TSA for replying to my initial request so quickly. And a massive thanks to Molly for being such a delightful person and a great trainer.
Thanks. Jodi

We keep our numbers capped to allow for a more personal experience where we can all interact. Prefer to go it alone in your own time or canโt make it to the live webinar? The self-paced option is for you. Pick it up whenever suits and fit it around your schedule while still getting a comprehensive & thorough tutorial.

Scratching the Itch You Canโt Name
Thereโs this itch. A vague, low hum under the surface. You canโt name it, and maybe youโve never even tried. But you know itโs there. It reminds me of that U2 song, I Still Havenโt Found What Iโm Looking For. That lyric has stuck with me for decades. Because honestly, havenโt we all felt it?…

Stop Saying “Rest”. Do This Instead.
Letโs talk about rest. Because sometimes, itโs doing more harm than good. When we tell someone to โjust restโ, what do we really mean? For many people, โrestโ looks like collapsing on the couch, scrolling their phone, or binge-watching Netflix. But the problem is when the body is still, but the brain keeps spinning. Anxiety…

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Use These Tips
You might be wondering why thereโs a picture of a golfer here in an adventure blog โ especially since we donโt exactly run golf trips. Unless, of course, you count swinging a hiking pole on a mountaintop! But stick with me, because thereโs a point to it.

The Hiking Boot Myth We All Believe
Ask a new hiker why they wear boots and chances are theyโll say, โI need them for ankle support.โ Itโs a long-standing belief that boots are the safest, smartest way to hike, especially for beginners. But as someone whoโs led thousands of people through wild terrain and up mountains, I can tell you something surprising:…

Your Kids Need to See You Uncomfortable
We all know the saying: monkey see, monkey do. And when it comes to parenting, nothing could be truer. Our children are watching. Constantly. Not just listening to what we say, but absorbing how we live. And when it comes to wellbeing, thatโs either a gift or a ticking time bomb.

Positivity is Not the Answer to Uncertainty
Letโs be honest, things feel a bit wobbly right now. Even if youโre not glued to the news, youโve probably felt the rising tension. The economy, the climate, the general sense of not knowing whatโs nextโฆ it all builds up. It filters into our workplaces, our families, and our sense of personal stability. And while…

Why We Need Challenge to Thrive: Rethinking Adult Wellbeing
In a world of growing burnout, constant connectivity, and increasingly commercialised wellbeing strategies, itโs time to pause and ask: what actually helps people thrive? Slowing down, taking breaks, and practising self-care are important. But the wellbeing conversation has become overly focused on comfort. Whatโs missing is the transformative power of discomfort, of challenge. Because the…

Why Not Being Sick Doesnโt Mean Youโre Well
Thereโs a mood many of us know but canโt always name. Not depression, not burnout, justโฆ blah. A kind of foggy, flat, unmotivated middle space where things arenโt falling apart, but theyโre definitely not lighting you up. Itโs that sense of aimlessness, of going through the motions, especially in the depths of winter when light…

The Beauty of Going the Long Way Round in the UK
Thereโs something about walking along the edge of a country that brings clarity, with the sea waving at you from one side and the ancient landscapes supporting you on the other. This June, I had the absolute joy of guiding more small groups along one of the most breathtaking stretches of the UK: the South…

When Adventure Doesnโt Go To Plan, Get Resilient
We talk a lot about resilience in workshops, wellbeing plans, and leadership programs, but what does it actually look like when things go wrong? Well, as we all know, the highs and lows are the parts of life we recall the most, because they make the strongest emotions and memories. A lot of these memories…

Growth Looks Like This (And Itโs Not Always Pretty)
I used to think wellbeing was about balance. Eat well, move often, sleep more, breathe deeper. You know, the usual prescriptions. And for a while, those things were enough. But over the years, especially since starting a hiking and adventure company, Iโve realised that wellbeing isnโt just about managing stress or feeling calm. Itโs about…

Nature is Freeโฆ So Why Do We Charge for Hiking Tours?
This is a question I hear from time to time, not so much from the people out on the trail because they clearly already know the benefits, but from social media commenters who may not have ever experienced a paid hike before. But honestly, I get it. The trails are open to everyone, and yes,…
WHY CHOOSE
TAKE SHAPE ADVENTURES
FRIENDSHIP
Most of the people that come on our tours come by themselves. Our community is built on friendships that have been made on our trips, experiencing something life changing together, the shared memories and also goals to do more in the future! We encourage people not to be anxious about coming on these trips by yourself as we promise you will leave with some like minded friends and be really glad you made the decision to get out of your comfort zone and join in.
BELONG
Our community is our backbone. We have had so many people start with no hiking experience, basic fitness and not knowing anyone on our trips. These same people have gone on to do some incredible multi day hiking trips with us and their friends they have met in our community. Witnessing the development of their fitness, confidence, experience, friendships and happiness is why we do what we do. Come join us and let us help you get from the couch to the top of the mountain!
ADVENTURE
Experiences, not things. The moments that take your breath away. The feeling of accomplishment and the realisation that you are capable of so much more than what you thought. The views that blow your mind and the ticking off of bucket list items. We take all the hard work out of it for you. We organise the lot so you can just turn up and get the best of your experience without all the headaches of organising/logistics. We make it easy for you to do all the thing you want to do โ you just need to turn up and be ready to jump into life!
