Get consistently stronger
without rearranging your life to do it.
For those who are done letting training fall to the bottom of the list — and want a program written for them, in a gym that doesn't feel like a performance.
Sound familiar?
You know you need to train. The time just never seems to materialise.
You've started plenty of times. Work, kids, everything else keeps getting in the way before it becomes a habit.
You feel weaker than you used to, and less comfortable in your body — and you're aware that it's not going to fix itself.
You're not sure what you should actually be doing in the gym, so when you do make it in, it feels aimless.
You can probably commit to once a week right now. You just don't know if that's even worth starting.
Half the year has already gone and you're still exactly where you were in January.
Why it hasn't worked before
The problem isn't your commitment. It's that you've been given programmes that weren't built for you.
Group fitness is built for the average body. Online challenges are built for the people already doing the work. Neither accounts for your injury history, your schedule, or what you actually need to progress.
The problem with:
F45 / group classes
Everyone does the same thing. No one has read your intake form. You're just another rep count on the board.
The problem with:
Online challenges
Six weeks, high intensity, generic nutrition advice. Zero follow-through once it ends — because none of it was built to last.
The problem with:
Doing it alone
You don't know if your form is right, whether to go heavier, or how to progress. So you don't — or you get hurt.
What actually works
A program that's yours. In a gym that isn't trying to impress anyone.
01
Your program, not a shared one
Your training is written specifically for you — your goals, your injury history, your starting point. You're not working through someone else's plan and hoping for the best.
02
Progressive overload, properly applied
Strength comes from doing slightly more than last week, consistently over time. That's it. There's no shortcut, but there is a right way — and a wrong one. You'll learn the difference.
03
A calm environment, not a performance
Music in the background, no one shouting at you, no ego. You come in, do the work, and get on with your day. That's the whole point.
What's included
Semi-Private PT at ZD Coaching
A training program written specifically for you — your goals, your history, updated every 6 weeks as you progress
Supervised 45-minute sessions, multiple times per week — train at the frequency that works for your life, not an arbitrary schedule
Coached movement from the first session — you'll know what you're doing and why, not just hoping your form is right
Ongoing guidance on nutrition principles — not a diet, not a plan you'll abandon in week two, just the practical understanding that actually supports your training.
Spots are limited by design
Semi-private means small. When sessions are full, they're full.
What happens next
No guessing. Here's exactly what signing up looks like.
1.
You apply
Fill in a short form about your goals, training history, and any injuries or limitations. This is how I make sure the program I write is actually right for you.
2.
We get you started
Your first 1–3 sessions are about learning movements and getting the baseline right. No pressure, no performance. I assess how you move and write your program from there.
3.
You train
Show up, work through your program, and ask questions. I'm in the session with you. Every 6 weeks your program gets updated based on how you've progressed and for variety.
I was a sporty kid. Played social sport through my twenties. Then a career kicked in and I looked up one day in my thirties, 20kg heavier, wondering what had happened to me.
I started walking. Then jogging. Then a gym. Then a BodyPump class, which is where I fell in love with lifting. I got myself a PT to teach me free weights properly — because at the time, the weights floor was the men's section, and I knew that if I was going to be there, I had to know what I was doing.
I've been lifting consistently for over 15 years. I competed in bodybuilding and powerlifting. I became a powerlifting coach. I became the coach I was looking for — someone who could give other women the knowledge and confidence to walk into a gym and belong there.
I've been coaching full-time for over 10 years, in-person and online. I take courses specific to women's nutrition and health because my clients deserve coaching that's based on what the evidence actually says, not what sells.
Your coach
Why this matters to me
From clients
What people actually say
““Honest, direct and deeply supportive. Zoe’s approach is realistic and holistic, focusing on nutrition, mindful movement and strength for life — not quick fixes or perfection. She reminds you that showing up honestly matters more than doing it perfectly. I’m still a work in progress, but I’m stronger, more aware, and genuinely confident I’m on the right path because of her.””
“I started working with Zoe to build strength and ensure my technique was correct so that I didn’t injure myself. She’s been exactly what I needed.””
“I had reservations about coming back to training, but my goal was to increase strength — so I sought Zoe’s PT services, especially because she is a powerlifting coach. I was recommended by my dietician. Couldn’t have made a better decision.””
“I sought Zoe’s PT services when I was looking to improve my fitness and health after having baby number 2. She met me exactly where I was and built from there.”
“Zoe is easy to work with and loveable. My goal is to get stronger and toned, and together that is what we are doing.”

Questions
The things people ask before they apply
-
Yes. Consistency over frequency is how training actually works. Once a week, done properly and progressively over time, will do more for you than sporadic intense bursts whenever life allows. The goal is to build a habit that holds — not to schedule you into the ground.
-
No. The first few sessions are specifically for learning the foundational movements before your program is written. You won't be put in a session to fend for yourself from day one. Most people are surprised by how quickly they find their feet when someone is actually watching their form.
-
That's exactly why I ask. Your intake form covers injury history specifically, because a program that ignores what your body has been through is useless at best and counterproductive at worst. Modifications and alternatives are part of the process, not an afterthought.
-
Sessions run multiple times per week across different time slots. Tuesday 6:15am and 9am, Wednesday 6:15am and Thursday 9am.
It's worth applying and having that conversation if the times don’t suit and I can let you know of other coaching options.
-
You'll feel better quickly — better sleep, more energy, less of that general feeling of going soft. Changes to your physique take longer. Expect to notice real differences at around 12 weeks. That's not a slow timeline; that's how physiology works. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
-
A gym membership gives you access to equipment. This gives you a program, a coach watching your movement, and a structure that progresses over time. You're not guessing whether you should go heavier, questioning your form, or hoping you're doing the right thing. That's the whole difference.
-
Not when everything else is under control — that's never. The people who wait for the perfect window are the same people who look back and wish they'd started two years ago. You don't need to be consistent before you start. That comes after.
You already know you need to do this.
The question is whether you do it now.
Three months from now you could be stronger, moving better, and actually consistent — or you could still be waiting for the right time. One of those options has a clear answer.
