The ZAR Team

Every coach at ZAR is on the floor for one reason: they're qualified to be.

Exercise physiologists, exercise scientists, physiotherapists, and coaches working under direct EP supervision, each one with their own focus, all working to the same programming standards.

The room runs on their judgment. Read their bios below, then come in and meet them.

Coach standards

Every coach on the floor at ZAR:

  • Holds a degree in exercise science, physiology, or a related discipline

  • Maintains current CPR and first aid certification

  • Programmes under the supervision of the ZAR exercise physiology team

  • Is deeply invested in every member and their training, and continually looks for ways to make that training as individualised as possible.

Many also hold post-graduate qualifications, sport-specific coaching credentials, and registered practitioner status with ESSA.

I hired everyone in this room because I’d want them programming my own training. That’s the filter. Every coach here is someone whose judgement I trust on a session-by-session basis and someone I’d send my own family to train with. That’s why the team looks the way it does.
