About Me
‘Health and fitness isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way of life!’
Fed up of working endless hours for a corporate finance machine I needed something which would ignite passion within me and give me a real purpose again.
I embarked on my career as a full-time personal trainer at the beginning of 2014 and this has provided me with all the job satisfaction that I craved. I enjoy meeting and listening to people and take a special interest in the consultation process. This provides an insight into the individual which makes developing tailored training and lifestyle packages more effective. Witnessing clients surpass their goals holds a real intrinsic value which few other jobs can replicate.
Although I come from a rugby and triathlon background I possess many different qualifications enabling me to help a variety of people regardless of fitness levels. So, whether you are looking to tone up, lose weight, gain muscle mass, increase speed, improve core stability or just looking for that weekly fitness blitz then sign up to Zen Boot Camps and get the results you desire.

About Me
Hi! My name is SJ and I joined Zen in 2016 after the birth of my daughter and just before getting married.
My husband also joined and is still a bootcamper. I’ve loved sport and exercise my entire life.

I’ve been helping Alan with client admin for two years, regularly partake in bootcamps and finally now am able to take bootcamp sessions. I’m keen on sporting challenges and have completed a number of half marathons, Triathlons, 10ks, the London Marathon in 2021 and the London Prudential 100 mile cycle event multiple times.

About Me
Having completed the ZEN 6 week challenge myself in early 2020, when I achieved amazing results for both my body and mind, I joined the ZEN Team.
In my early years, I was a competitive swimmer and I have always enjoyed sport and being active. This continued through my 20’s when I studied Sports Science at University, was a member of and Social Security of the Uni Swim Team and was always up for a sporting challenge. After Uni, I continued to swim regularly, was a member of the gym and during a period of my life where I lived in Australia got into bootcamps. When I returned to the UK I tried various bootcamp groups in London but found them in personal and boring, that was until I found ZEN!
After having children, I qualified as a swimming teacher, whilst also working as a HR Consultant. Now, working as a swimming teaching, an HR Consultant and supporting ZEN Training as Social and Events Coordinator provides me the perfect balance of fitness and people!
