Tabata and Pilates! Brilliant combination! Saleha is excellent as she motivates us. So glad I signed up!
I had the most incredible experience with Zainab and her sister on our hiking trip to Wales. As a beginner, climbing Mount Snowdon in the snow, rain and wind was one of the greatest challenges of my life, but their encouragement and support made all the difference. Not only did I step outside my comfort zone, but I also gained a real sense of confidence in myself. Meeting such inspiring women from all walks of life made the experience even more meaningful. A huge thank you to Zainab, as well as( Steve, Emma and Dawn mountain hikers )for their guidance and motivation throughout. Zainab, you are a true inspiration to the community – please keep up the amazing
Attended many fitness classes like self defence, Tabata HIT workout, dance + pilates arranged by Zainab over the past 2 years + even went on my first daytime hike too a couple months ago but this time I booked on to the residential trip to Cumbria where we went on a scenic walk around a beautiful reservoir, did outdoor yoga outside for the first time, enjoyed a jacobs joint Friday evening which felt like one big family dining together, we hiked up a mountain the next day followed by more yoga, the views being so close to clouds was breath taking. Many workshops and inspirational talks and genuine conversations of connection took place too, great if you want to experience growth. Lots of fun girly activities in evening too which were a nice surprise as I didn’t expect that. I’d never of imagined in my entire life that I would go up a mountain but Zainab has brought a lot to our local area, encouraging and motivating other women to get out, be active and live a more grounded life being in the outdoors. It’s also really nice when someone else plans trips with transport included so you don’t have to plan if that’s what you’re used to doing. Really grateful for what she’s bringing to our community. Will definitely try to sign up to more trips!
I just got back from my residential 3day 2night trip. Z planned and organised everything out so well. I enjoyed the walks,yoga,activities. Met new people who were so lovely. Z is a beautiful caring soul. Her team is also so lovely, Thankyou for an amazing time away from day to day life. Just switched off. Once again hats off to Z, for being so brave handling so many people in a group to take away for a break.
Once again another awesome weekend retreat in Cumbria organised by Zs Defence Accademy and team..everything was perfect and well organised. We were all well looked after. Met some amazing souls. Thank you Zainab 🍀☘️

Posted 2 years agoJust got back from my very first ladies-only glamping trip with Zs Defence Academy and what an amazing experience! The trip was packed with fun activities, zip line, nature walks, yoga, and camp fires, most of which I have never tried before!! Got to meet some amazing women and share life experiences, health advice, careers advice and really got to reflect on ways to empower myself as an individual and as a woman! Zee is a lovely warm person who engages with everyone in the team and gets everybody involved. In terms of professionalism activities and transport were planned and carried out efficiently. Z and her team of volunteers were really helpful, informative and supportive throughout. This whole experience really helped me to step out of my comfort zone and venture out. So pleased I went and can't wait for the next adventure. A massive Thank you to Z and the Team!!!
The most amazing hike and residential I've ever had. Z and Sham did an excellent job with it all.. Refreshed my mind and made a lot of friends which felt like family, can't wait for the next activities ahead! ❤️
Posted 3 years agoJust went on a 2-day residential organised by Zs Defence Academy. Everyone had a brilliant time and were very well looked after by Z and the volunteers. Z went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for the group. The hiking was difficult, but Z kept everyone motivated to carry on going until we reached the destination (Bridestones). Z has a wonderful quality in that she genuinely cares about the people around her. She shares her knowledge about fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and is an inspiration to us all. Thank you so much Z and volunteers. You are all amazing! I will cherish the memories. I would recommend Zs Defence Academy to everyone. I can't wait to do more activities or another residential.
Posted 3 years agoThank you Zee and Sham and your team. Professional, friendly and great attention to detail. Amazing first experience of a hike, the support and confidence you gave to us newbie’s who were worried about being pushed too far. I felt unwell before I came and feel revived by this positive experience in just the most beautiful picturesque setting with great company and delicious food. What more can a woman want! Excellent value for money. I highly recommend this lady and would trust her to deliver over and above expectations. Thank you for all your hard work, it was much appreciated and as a result of your encouragement a group of us have already made some healthier choices 🙏🏼🌸
