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 53, 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.

I really highly recommend Zest Bootcamp. I attend early morning outdoor classes and it’s so great to exercise outside with such a lovely supportive group of women. I’ve never really stuck at exercise before, but this really works for me.Zita is a fantastic and committed trainer. She’s passionate about helping women develop strength and wellbeing and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and supported. I’m so glad I found it.

I've been at Zest Bootcamp for coming up to 7 years. Exercise no longer feels like a chore as I am with like minded people, a fabulous, friendly community who spur each other on. Being outdoors gives you the best start to your day and I always come away feeling alive. Sometimes, due to work pressures, I cannot attend which is why having the option for evening online classes is a huge benefit and often a little tougher!! Online still allows Zita to coach and you end your busy day on a big high.

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. 💕
