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

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Our outdoor sessions in the park have, for the moment, been replaced by live virtual sessions.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…
