About Chris...
I’ve experienced a lot in the 22 years I’ve been involved in the fitness industry. From my background in martial arts, boxing, bodybuilding then power lifting, my interests now lie in a holistic approach to overall body conditioning.
I’m currently studying to become a fully-certified classical Pilates instructor, and am completing my Diplomas in Fitness and Sports Conditioning. I bring my passion for teaching to everything I do. The next step will be gaining my scuba-dive instructor qualification, and pursuing my dream of diving around the world.

Her philosophy is that correct technique, variety and relaxation are the keys to total health and fitness. Over the years she has loved the discipline, health benefits and artistic expression of being a professional dancer, but today more commonly enjoys yoga, Pilates, running, strength training, or anything that either gets a smile on her face or her heart rate up. If you’re finding it hard to get motivated, are lacking exercise knowledge, or simply want to work harder, then Zara’s the trainer for you.
