Shaz Suleyman

From being an active, sporty child to experimenting with different training styles as a gym enthusiast, Shaz eventually left her corporate job to qualify as a personal trainer in 2019. She began her career in a commercial gym, where she discovered her passion for helping women reconnect with their bodies through strength training and mobility.

In April 2025, Shaz ran the London Marathon; an incredible milestone considering she had never run before beginning her training. This journey gave her a genuine understanding of what it feels like to be a beginner, and taught her the importance of consistency, patience, and steady progress in fitness.

Shaz believes fitness should be empowering, sustainable, enjoyable and never intimidating. Her coaching style is supportive yet motivating, creating a space where people feel comfortable, understood, and encouraged to challenge themselves. She takes the time to explain what her clients are doing and why, ensuring they feel confident and in control of their progress. By focusing on building strength from the ground up, she helps people achieve long-term results and lasting confidence.

Her mission is to guide clients through every stage of life, whether they are new to exercise or looking to take their training to the next level.  For Shaz, the best part of her job is watching her clients’ progress in the gym ripple into every area of their lives.

Shaz’s qualifications include:

  • Level 2 Fitness Instructor

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer
