ZAR Athletica

Best gym in Brisbane! Svet and the other trainers are dedicated to your progress and approach exercise in a holistic way. It’s not cheap but the education and progress I received was worth every cent. Iv never been to a gym that comes close to ZAR.

I have always found that independent gyms are a step above but when my doctor suggested seeing an exercise physiologist and I met Svet and the team at ZAR I was blown away by the difference their vast knowledge and collegiate environment provide.The trainers know your specific goals and any health challenges you might have and do a great job of respecting your journey while also pushing you to be better than you thought possible.I began training here in 2020 and after a recent brief hiatus (doctor advised) I couldn't wait to get back into this gym - it's like I never left and I feel grateful to be working with this team again!

Before I started at ZAR I hadn't performed compound lifts for a couple of years due to a disc prolapse, sciatica and patella tendonitis. I was in daily pain and found it hard to even play with my kids on most days. The neurosurgeons had recommended surgery but I was keen to avoid this at all costs.I was recommended ZAR by a friend and they have been amazing. Arief has helped me so much. He's an absolute legend. I've only been training here for 2 months but my pain and function are both miles better. I'm back to doing deadlifts, squats etc and I've learned heaps of new exercises that are helping me get back to my old self. I'm just honestly really happy to be back doing what I love and it's all thanks to Arief, Wendy, Svet and the rest of the team at ZAR. Can't recommend them enough!

So thankful my GP referred me to Zar, this is by far the best place to train if your looking to recover from a injury. I started training one on one with Arief and couldn't belive how quickly I was making progress. After a few weeks I transitioned into the group classes and with the help of Svet, Wendy and Mitch I'm stronger and more confident in my form and ability than I have ever been.

I have the incredible fortune of working with the fantastic exercise physiologists at ZAR who are supporting my recovery from injury. Their expertise, personalised approach, and support have created an environment where my progress is expedited. With their guidance, I regained strength in key affected areas and their holistic approach, encompassing both physical and mental well-being, is ensuring a comprehensive recovery. Though the ZAR exercise physiologist practitioner's impact is extending far beyond my injury recovery and is providing me with lifelong tools for a healthier and more active lifestyle. If you're seeking an outstanding team of professionals to guide you through injury recovery, I wholeheartedly recommend this practitioner for their expertise, compassion, and commitment to your well-being.Oh, and let me not forget that the coffee is great and the Barista is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

After being off from the gym for a little while ZAR has motivated me to get my fitness back. Great classes focusing on strength and great support.

ZAR has been so welcoming! I’ve never really stepped foot into a gym before, so I was pretty nervous before coming in. I couldn’t have felt more supported and comfortable! Great coaches, and great community of people! I’m excited to head back there everyday!

I signed up with ZAR after looking for a gym that could help me train with taking consideration to my injuries. What ZAR offers is great for my case as it focuses on target training with clear progression plans. Great as well for one-to-one time with the coaches.The gym offers a diverse set of training exercises and equipment.two things that really makes it stand out:- No booking required for the classes, so there is no fear of missing out on some sessions. Very flexible- Fits in different types of goals and individual targets. No one size fits all.Highly recommend it especially as it offers a 7 day trial for free.

I’ve been training at ZAR for over a year and this is one of the hands down best gym experiences I’ve ever had. The community is amazing and I’m easily the fittest I’ve ever been in my life despite being a uni athlete. I’ve never felt more supported through injuries, travel and all the other stuff that makes consistency hard. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t lift the weight for you, but they make every other part so easy that no matter what other busy stuff you’ve got going on, you can still get your gym time in. The programs are great but the coaches all have amazing advice on modifications if you need them. And the staff is regularly helping you with technique so you’re never alone, helping you get to the next level safely and confidently. Truly worth the five star rating for me!
