Hi, my name is Zak I am 20 years old from Reading Berkshire.
With a love for fitness and a passion for improving mental and physical health in kids, teens, and adults I knew exactly what I wanted to do!
Since I was 14 I struggled with mental health due to grief and a knee injury leading to excessive weight gain, poor self-esteem, and dark thoughts. I had extremely low attendance in school, shut myself in my room having zero social interactions with friends and some family. I was 22 stone 4 pounds at my lowest, I couldn't walk up the stairs without being breathless, I would comfort eat around 8000 calories a day to get away from my problems, I didn't see a way back to happiness and it was scary. I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression at 14 which allowed me to get therapy and extra support which didn't help, not because of the support but because I didn't want to help myself I would do anything to get away from help.
This continued for around a year and I truly thought this was just my life now until I discovered boxing and fitness, I started my fitness journey by hanging a boxing bag from a tree and a treadmill in my living room, I would do a 30-minute walk followed by a 20-minute boxing workout. At first, it was once a week as I wouldn't say I liked it but I started to see progress and that sparked motivation through seeing my confidence, and self-esteem grow and weight loss started to happen and that lit a fire in me to keep going and the rest is history, I've now lost 6 stone, My confidence is back and my self-esteem is restored. I still have my battles with anxiety and sometimes depression I'm a huge overthinker/ worrier which is always a daily battle but day by day I'm getting 1% better and putting myself in a position to feel better!
This is why I started my Personal training journey, my goal is to help kids, teens, and adults not feel the way I did, Not feel there's no way back, not to feel there's no one out there who can help or to feel like they're alone in their battles.
I create my service/ sessions tailored to each individual. I offer a Safe, Welcoming, Effective, Supportive, and Fun environment for you to work towards your fitness goals in my private home garage studio gym or the comfort of your own home where me and you can work towards a more confident, healthier, and most importantly happier you.
