Hi, my name is Zak I am 21 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 coaching journey, my goal is to help men and women 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 the journey 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 where me and you can work towards a more confident, healthier, and most importantly happier you.
No matter the goal, big or small I am here for the journey to guide you to a more confident, Healthier, and happier you! don't hesitate to message me for a non-obligation chat.
