"Zoe was the best decision I made for my health - both physically and mentally. I started training with Zoe in June, with one or two in-person workouts per week. Zoe made me feel comfortable and confident, despite me not having had a consistent workout routine for the past 7 years. She is genuinely caring, motivating, and professional. For the past nine months I’ve been following Zoe’s recommendations for all of my workouts along with her nutrition advice, and I feel incredible results - I’m more energetic, stronger, and more clear-minded. Zoe’s knowledge of fitness and nutrition have made a big impact on the way I go about my days, and how I take care of myself overall. I have made working out a priority 5 days a week, and I would not be able to do it without Zoe’s planned programs for me. I continue to surprise myself, and I attribute it all to Zoe. A real 5-star experience!"

"Before working with Zoe, I’d been athletic most of my life — running, gymnastics, soccer — but I’d never been introduced to strength training. When I finally wanted to start, I felt stuck. I didn’t know what weights were appropriate, how to lift safely with a history of back issues, or how to structure workouts that made sense. Those unanswered questions kept me avoiding the weights area entirely and defaulting to the treadmill. What made Zoe different was her holistic approach. She doesn’t just program workouts — she looks at nutrition, rest, sleep, and habits, and how all of it fits into real life. Her energy and genuine commitment to seeing me grow made a huge difference. The weekly check-ins, in-person workshops, and practical tips — from easy recipes to time-management strategies — made the experience feel thoughtful and sustainable. The moment I realized the coaching was working was when I walked confidently into the weights area and started my routine without second-guessing myself. A few weeks later, someone even asked me for help adjusting a bench — something I never would have felt confident doing before. Now I feel confident not just in the gym, but in everyday life outside of it. Strength training no longer feels intimidating — it feels empowering."

"If you’re looking for an amazing fitness coach, look no further! Zoe is an exceptional coach and an incredible person in every way. I reached out to Zoe after having two kids in 2.5 years and desperately wanting to feel more like myself again. My goal was to get as close to my pre-pregnancy body as possible, but I also wanted a realistic, sustainable plan. I’ve never been someone who enjoys exercising, but I knew that fitness and nutrition were essential to achieving my goals. Before having kids, I had been naturally thin, so this was new territory for me. With two little ones and a busy schedule, I didn’t have hours to spend at the gym (nor did I have a gym membership). Even if I did, I wouldn’t have known where to start! Zoe took the time to understand my unique challenges and tailored a plan that worked perfectly for me. She designed exercises that I could do at home, and could realistically fit into my busy life. She made fitness feel approachable and even enjoyable—something I never thought I’d say! Zoe also helped me navigate nutrition in a way that didn’t feel restrictive or overwhelming but instead empowering and achievable. What sets Zoe apart is her genuine care and encouragement. She celebrates every small win with you, motivates you on tough days, and reminds you to give yourself grace when life gets hectic. Thanks to her guidance, I not only feel stronger physically but also more confident and energized as a mom. If you’re on the fence about working with a coach, I wholeheartedly recommend Zoe. She’s more than a fitness coach—she’s a partner in helping you reach your goals, no matter how big or small they may seem."
