 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zara has been a great PT for the 2 months I had her. She was patient and knowledgeable and pushed me but not too much that it would cause injury.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoy Zara’s Boxfit class every Friday. The sessions are always fun, enjoyable, and relaxed, ensuring a friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, regardless of fitness level. Zara is a fantastic instructor who is encouraging, approachable, and great at keeping the class engaging. She provides gloves and pads for anyone who needs them, although you’re welcome to bring your own. The class is held in a large room with plenty of space to move around comfortably and safely. It’s a great workout and a brilliant way to finish the week.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been attending Zara’s boxfit classes for a little while now and can honestly say Zara is fantastic. She is friendly but stern when needed and takes time to get to know you. She knows when you need pushing to get the best out of you but also when you need to slow down. I look forward to my Friday evenings at boxfit and leave knowing I’ve had a proper workout. I would highly recommend Zara as a PT especially if like me you are a little more self conscious of exercising as she really does make you feel comfortable with what you can do and manages to get you improving without realising it.

Zara is brilliant at keeping everyone motivated and making sure you get the most out of every class. She also provides boxing gloves for anyone who doesn’t have their own, so there are no excuses not to get involved. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get fit in a friendly and supportive environment
