INSPIRED BY MUSIC:
Soon after, Zola discovered that he had found something unique in the way that he was training inspired by the music that he loved. One day he was stop by someone who told him people loved what he was doing, that he should create a brand to teach others and buy a speaker so that people could hear his music.
Zola earned his Personal Training qualification and returned to Hyde Park with his speaker, he noticed that he was getting the attention of many new passers-by who seemed to be enjoying his way of training.

A year later, the attention that Zola’s training sessions gained began to grow, attracting huge crowds of children, parents, teenagers, tourists, all watching him and filming on their phones. One particular day he opened Instagram to find that Brazillian Footballer Ronaldo had filmed his training, he had posted the video on Instagram with the caption “There are many ways to exercise”. This gained attention from French press who were curious to find out who the man behind the orange jacket was. From here Zola became inspired to take Lazola Fitness further.
