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 it’s time to change it up a bit. It’s 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 ‘thank you’ 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

Why Water isn’t Enough for Hiking Hydration
When it comes to hiking, staying hydrated is one of the most crucial factors in maintaining energy, endurance, and generally feeling good along the trail. But there’s more to hydration than simply drinking water. In fact, water alone can sometimes be counterproductive, particularly when you’re exerting yourself on a long and challenging hike.

It’s Okay to Say No, but are You Saying Yes to What Really Matters?
Every day we’re reminded more and more often, especially as women, to take back our power and to “just say no”. Whether it’s refusing extra work tasks that will lead to burnout, rejecting unrealistic beauty standards, pushing back against societal pressures… I love it all! I love that we’re encouraged to set boundaries, live authentically,…

The Uncomfortable Truth About Happiness
Coming from a background in health and fitness, I spent years writing diets and fitness plans based on “shoulds”—should hit this weight, should maintain this heart rate, should look or feel a certain way. For a long time, I believed that ultimate happiness came from comfort and calm. A peaceful, stress-free life seemed like the…

What Kayakers Can Teach Us About Living Well
Some plunge down waterfalls while others fish from their vessels, but kayakers have one thing in common: They all know a thing or two about leading a healthy lifestyle. Bobbing around on a kayak offers a lot more than a relaxing way to spend a sunny afternoon. Here’s what kayakers can teach the rest of…

Does Weight Loss Make You Healthier and Happier?
At first glance, you might think, “Of course losing weight makes you healthier and happier!” But the truth is much more complicated, and the answer is probably no. In fact, promoting weight loss as the key to health and happiness may be doing more harm than good. Here’s why.

The Power of Finding Your People During Menopause
When it comes to health and happiness during and beyond the menopause transition, we hear a lot about hormone therapy, proper nutrition, exercise, adaptogens, sleep…the list goes on. All of that is important, for sure. But one of the most powerful predictors of how we feel—and how well we age—is community, our relationships, and a…

Why Spending Just Two Hours a Week in Nature Is Good for You
Original article linked below. Anyone who’s watched a child run free in a forest or play in a stream doesn’t need a research study to tell them that spending time in nature is good for kids’ health. “It’s something that most parents know intuitively. When kids have the chance to play free in nature, they’re…

The Best Ways to Experience the Pristine Ningaloo Reef

The world’s closest fringing reef has a lot…

How Outdoor Exercise and Adventure Boosts Mental Health
All activity is good, but outdoor exercise is better. The choice between indoor and outdoor exercise is a no-brainer, scientists say. A new study determined, while all exercise is known to improve cognitive function, activity conducted in an outdoor environment produces more benefit to the brain than the same exercise indoors.
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 – you just need to turn up and be ready to jump into life!
