Be fit for life
Your body develops to meet expectations. With exercise machines, that means a fixed resistance and rigidly controlled movements. With free weights, it still means narrowly defined actions. Even with your own body, it means a certain weight, balance and habitual patterns. But start working with another writhing, pushing and pulling body, and things change. Angles, timing and centre of gravity shift. Concentric and eccentric demands are in free flow. Movements and impact forces are never quite the same.
Your body starts preparing for the unexpected.
It’s how animals get fit in the wild – through power play with their siblings and parents. And the reason is simple: it’s the recipe for survival.
This is primal strength, and you will feel it.

Stay motivated
Humans are hardwired to do things together; that’s why we’ve come so far. Tauff taps right into this drive. Call it what you like – connection, bonding, oxytocin; a Tauff session leaves you feeling exquisitely tired and happy. You’ll come back for more.

Keep it simple
Tauff exercises are easy to learn and can be done at home, in class and outdoors; there’s no need for special equipment; and you can train with just about anyone – your better half, friend, colleague or family member. You keep it simple. You keep it fun. You keep it going.

Expect results
Created by a former Olympian and a personal trainer with a collective experience of some 63 years, Tauff brings together key components from many different disciplines, including wrestling, high-intensity training, MMA, CrossFit, kettlebells, TRX and track and field. It’s a holistic fitness system for both torso and legs that is taken yet further by your training partner. Because when you work out with someone else, you push yourself harder.
Tauff might feel like playtime. But you can expect serious results.

Join the movement
Licenced Tauff instructors and personal trainers offer a range of conceptual group sessions and customised fitness programmes, targeting everything from stamina and explosiveness to strength and flexibility. Anyone can participate – it’s just as intense as you want it to be. Regardless of your level of fitness, you’ll get to experience the special energy created. Usual comments include: “I stayed fully present”, “time virtually disappeared”, and “I feel grounded, strong – and happy!”
We can’t wait to hear what you’ll say.
