What is Zest?

Zest Bootcamp was set up in 2009 by highly experienced personal trainer, Zita Alves, to help women just like you, to feel great through structured exercise in a supportive community.

Our award winning outdoor classes in Bath have already helped hundreds of people discover the benefits of group exercise outdoors in the fresh-air.

Our OUTDOOR classes in Bath are thriving  (after successfully keeping our members fit online during lockdown) and we have continued with some ONLINE classes to enable more people to enjoy the Zest experience and feel great!

Do you offer online classes?

Yes! Our group classes have also moved into the virtual world and the feedback has been amazing! We are continuing to offer online classes in the evening alongside morning outdoor classes. Everyone has noticed the benefits to their physical and mental wellbeing during this unusual situation.

Am I too unfit to join?

Everyone is welcome to join us and after you complete your registration we will give you a call to make sure you are ready to join us for a trial.

Am I too old to join?

Our oldest member is over 70 and as a highly experienced personal trainer of over 23 years, Zita has created a programme that suits all levels with small adaptations.

Do you offer a trial?

Yes! Try us outdoors or online on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Get to know us and begin your fitness journey!

How do I get started?

Get in touch if you have anymore questions but the best way to start your active lifestyle is to book a trial week.

About Zita

Zita was a former couch potato who has changed her life… that’s why she is super passionate about helping more people to discover the benefits of being fit and healthy.

Aged 52, she knows how hard it can be to make exercise a regular part of your life, and she wants to help more people to make it an important part of their lifestyle.

In her late 20’s Zita made a career change from an overweight, asthmatic, non-exercising, stressed out marketing executive to become a personal trainer and hasn’t looked back. She has worked with hundreds of people over the last 20 + years through 1-1 personal training, group classes at Zest Bootcamp, online and via retreats in the UK and abroad.

Zita created her own fitness equipment, the Ztrainer, in 2010 as well as cookbooks and for several years Zita wrote a weekly feature in the Bath Weekend Magazine that comes with the Bath Chronicle. She has also been on the judging panel of the Nourish Awards that celebrate healthy and innovative “free from” food and drinks in the UK, as well as a Jamie Oliver Food Revolution ambassador.

AWARDS
In 2011 Zest Bootcamp, which Zita set up in Bath in 2009, was highly commended at The prestigious Bath Life Awards, and 2015 Zita won the Independent Business Award for best fitness business in Bath.

Zestie Testimonials

When you join you’ll get access to our private, members-only Facebook group where we offer lots more healthy lifestyle support as well as regular social events that have in the past included country walks, pub lunches, cooking classes, belly dancing, quiz nights, chocolate making and lots more.

But don’t take our word for it… here are some members of our community sharing their stories.

Zest Bootcamp is just brilliant.

I would highly recommend it, in or out of lockdown.

Our outdoor sessions in the park have, for the moment, been replaced by live virtual sessions. All you really need to keep fit, it seems, is a bit of floor space, a towel and some (heavy) books in a bag – who knew?

And Zita may not be with us in person, but she can still check on our technique and make sure we keep going!

But Zest Bootcamp is so much more than a fitness session – it is about community, friendship and support – which we all need now more than ever.

Thank you Zita and my fellow Zesties for helping to keep me mentally, as well as physically strong during these crazy times.

I joined zest about 8 months ago and have not looked back since.

My overall fitness has improved plus strength and muscle definition. I am also much more supple.

Since lockdown Zita had continued classes on Zoom which has been amazing. She has worked very hard to keep us all going.

April 2020 marks 3 amazing years I’ve been a member of Zest Bootcamp, I’m a “Zestie” I joined originally to get fitter and didn’t fancy the idea of an indoor gym or anything pretentious.

The setting in Alexandra Park is stunning, we see seasons change and look out over stunning Bath but more than this, I have met a wonderful group of people, we support each other, train together and have a lovely social network.

My fitness is no longer a chore, I look forward to each session and Zita offers support, guidance and a 100% positive outlook. I am stronger, healthier and fitter both physically and mentally and have a great bunch of friends I can always call upon. Right now, not to be defeated by COVID-19, we are all training & socializing together live via Zoom.

I highly recommend you come and join us, it has changed my life positively and can do the same for you…

Wow, what can I say, I have never been the kind of girl to do any exercise. But joining zest bootcamp has been the best thing I have ever done. Zita is amazing. She has so much knowledge and wisdom and shares so much. I joined zest bootcamp just over a year ago now. I am so much stronger and fitter. The ladies who do bootcamp with zita are awesome. So friendly and funny. A great community. I have also recently joined zitas nutritional program and I can not be happier. It is a 12 week program and I have lost a stone plus dropped nearly 2 dress sizes. I have more education on the right foods to eat for my health and feel fantastic. I can really recommend zest bootcamp as zita is lovely, funny, and a great motivator. 💕

Bootcamp is a great way to increase and maintain fitness. Zita's classes are always fun and varied, and can be tailored to your own needs. Outside and online classes are equally challenging. And the weekly stretch class is a great way to unwind.

I joined Zest bootcamp to get fitter and lose some weight and I have achieved both in just a couple of months. I didn’t expect to get the benefit of a lovely community of like minded women. It’s a happy start to the day to see all the friendly faces and have a good laugh. I always leave class raring to go, with a big smile on my face. Zita is great at making the classes fun and effective with a great level of challenge and lots of variety. The membership is great value for money - so much better than a gym membership because you stay motivated. Thanks to Zest bootcamp I am fitter, slimmer, healthier and above all happier and more confident than I have been in years. Thank you Zita!
