Zen Speed Fitness - London

I have had great results training in small groups at Zen. After a long period of illness when I lost fitness and confidence, I embarked on the 6 week challenge. With in depth nutritional advice I have changed my eating habits, reduced my weight, toned and gained muscle strength. The sessions are good fun - Alan the coach tailors everything to your level and is a fantastic motivator and a great personality. There is a friendly vibe and you get lots of encouragement from everyone. What's not to like? Needless to say I have signed up to stay on with Zen and look forward to further positive results.

I’ve trained with Zen for 3 years and it’s been very good for me in many ways. Not only physical fitness but also mental and overall wellbeing. I regularly do 2 6am session per week. The sessions are fun, varied and social. Following an injury I hadn’t been able to properly run for 15 years but since building up strength and improving my overall fitness I have now completed 3 10k events in the last year. Each time I’ve managed a personal best! Really grateful to the whole Zen team for all the encouragement, support and dedicated coaching every week.

I've just completed the 6 week small group challenge with Zen Training and what a breathe of fresh air! I learnt more about technique in 6 weeks from Alan than from all the years I've spent in any of the gyms I was a member of! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Zen Training - Alan is brilliant!

I have just completed the six week challenge with Zen Training. I really needed to find a program that could encourage and motivate me to restart my fitness. The sessions are unique, motivating and always packed with variety at every session. I just love the outdoor training in Bushy Park. I can honestly say the fitness trainers are incredible - no session is ever the same and they really give you support and encouragement whilst setting various challenges along the way! My overall body results, energy and fitness levels have truly improved. I’m delighted I chose to sign with Zen - the team are full of knowledge and professionalism. The camaraderie in the group really makes every session enjoyable and fun. If you’re thinking about joining Zen please don’t hesitate as I would highly recommend.

I came to Zen having spent 56 years on the planet without ever going to a gym – and now I regret not starting sooner. I wasn’t unfit when I started – I’ve played sport to a high level throughout my life – but I needed to counteract the combined effects of an increasingly sedentary lifestyle – spending more time working from home post-Covid – and ageing. Having put it off for a while, I finally signed up for the six-week trial at the beginning of 2025 and immediately felt at home. The training was hard, of course, but the atmosphere at Zen is tremendously supportive and welcoming, as are Alan himself and my fellow trainees. It really feels like a community here, and the sessions are very tailored. Alan’s experience and knowledge mean he is supremely able to take into account your particular goals – and the occasional niggle/injury that we all get from time to time. The difference in me within that short initial period was clear to see – and feel. I lost weight, gained muscle, became more flexible and stronger, and simply felt better. I had no hesitation signing up for a further year, and I’m delighted to say the improvements have continued ever since – regularly setting personal bests, giving me a real sense of achievement. Best of all, I’ve also achieved things I’ve never previously managed in my sport. I play a game called Fives (essentially squash with your hands) and in May 2025, I won my first ever singles title. It’s no coincidence that this happened within six months of me starting with Zen. If you’re thinking of training, I recommend Zen wholeheartedly. Just don’t do what I did and put off taking the plunge. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll see and feel the benefits – as well as making plenty of new friends along the way.
