Why one-to-one
Training that fits your life.
A gym gives you equipment. It does not give you a plan, and it does not notice when your technique slips or your progress stalls. Coaching is the difference between exercising and actually training.
Individual plans
Your programme is written for your goals, history and schedule — never lifted from a template.
Proper technique
Every rep coached, so you train with confidence rather than hoping you're doing it right.
Accountability
A fixed session in the diary and honest feedback that keeps you going when motivation dips.
Progression
Load and volume increase as you adapt, so results keep arriving instead of stalling.
Confidence
Know your way around the gym floor and the equipment — no more standing around unsure.
Sustainable results
Habits and strength you keep, built without punishing sessions or crash diets.

How much does personal training cost?
Pricing depends on the type of training, session length and frequency. Zara will confirm exact costs during your free 20-minute consultation, so you know precisely what you're committing to before you start. BoxFit classes are £5 per class.
Where does Zara offer personal training?
Training is based in Reading, Berkshire, with clients travelling in from Caversham, Shinfield, Lower Earley, Winnersh, Woodley and Wokingham. Online coaching is available anywhere.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. Every new client starts with a free 20-minute consultation covering your goals, training history, lifestyle and any challenges, plus an initial conversation about your posture and movement.
Do I need to already be fit?
No. Most clients start because they are not where they want to be. Your programme begins from your current level and progresses from there.
Can beginners work with Zara?
Absolutely. Beginners are a large part of Zara's work, and every movement is taught step by step before load is added.
Do I need a gym membership?
It depends on the venue and format of your training. This is confirmed with you before your first session so there are no surprises.
Do you offer women's strength training?
Yes — it is a core specialism, covering beginners, women returning to training, busy mums and women training through peri-menopause.
Do you offer Reformer Pilates?
Yes, as private one-to-one sessions focused on core strength, mobility, balance and control.
