Zara Hinns

Tell us something about yourself:

My name is Zara, and I am 23 years old. I am in the final year of my bachelor of Education; I love health and fitness and find a moment to add daily movement. I love playing netball and do that throughout the winter months. I also love travelling and have travelled to many places over the last few years.

How long have you been taking Pilates classes?

I have been teaching at Upstate for about three months now, but before that, I had my pilates qualification for about a year, so I have been taking lessons at netball clubs and a few schools before joining Carbon Gym on a Monday afternoon.

What’s your favourite thing about Pilates?

My favourite thing about Pilates is that it is a refreshing workout that improves my core strength and flexibility in a full-body activity; adding Pilates into my weekly routine creates variety in my fitness and adds benefits such as strength and balance.

Why did you get into the fitness industry?

I grew my love for fitness and Pilates during COVID-19, so I decided to do my qualification in Pilates to share my passion with others and allow them to find a love for Pilates.

What are some of your fitness-based goals?

One of my fitness goals is to become stronger in the gym. Also, an extensive fitness goal of mine is running. I enjoy running and recently completed the City to Surf in Sydney, so my next big fitness goal is achieving a half marathon.

I look forward to seeing you all on Mondays at 6pm for a Pilates session.
