Strength training for women on Phillip Island

Thoughtful coaching that breaks the cycle of frustration and replaces it with a clear, supportive approach to training so your body can adapt, progress, and stay well at every stage of life.

Get Started

You don't need to already be strong, fit or know your way around a gym.

You might be completely new to strength training, getting back into exercise after a long break, navigating changes through pregnancy, postpartum or menopause, or simply ready to feel stronger than you do now.

My approach combines strength training with an understanding of breath, mobility, pelvic floor health and how the whole body works together.

You'll learn what you're doing, why you're doing it and how to progress it.

I’m here to support you. Let’s get started.

Ways to train with me

SMALL GROUP STRENGTH

Small group strength and conditioning classes with plenty of individual coaching.

Classes are capped so I can actually coach you. You'll follow a structured program while still having exercises adapted to suit your body, experience and goals.

PERSONAL TRAINING

More individual support when you need it.

Private coaching is ideal if you're new to training, managing pain or injury, experiencing pelvic floor symptoms, returning after pregnancy, or simply want a program built specifically around you.

PELVIC FLOOR + PRE & POSTNATAL

Pelvic floor symptoms don't mean you need to stop lifting, running or doing the things you love.

My approach looks beyond the pelvic floor itself, including breathing, pressure management, strength, mobility and how your whole body is moving.

Pelvic Floor & Women's Health Coaching

Hey, I’m Zoe!

My coaching helps you build a body that lets you do the things you love:

Playing with your kids, surfing, jumping, running, lifting heavier, building strength, and moving with confidence and athleticism.

I take a whole-body approach to strength training, helping you build strength in a way that feels good in your body.

Bodies change. Training history, injuries, pregnancy, birth, pelvic floor symptoms, stress and simply getting older can all change how movement feels.

Rather than working around your body forever, I want to help you understand what's going on, build capacity and get back to doing more of the things you love. I would love to support you to find movement freedom again.

My coaching is for women who want to feel better in their bodies, not just look fit.

It’s for the women who want to understand how their body works, move with intention, and learn how to take ownership of their health.

    Absolutely could not recommend Zoe highly enough. I started with Zoe over 1 year ago and can't believe the difference in my body. Not only the very noticeable things like moving better, more flexible and toned but the little things that I have put up with since having kids, sore stiff hips, stuck pelvis and sneezing mishaps 🤭
    I can't remember the last time those things bothered me. Zoe is so patient and works with everyone's capabilities to do the best for your body. If I could give more then 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I would.

  • Katie

    It’s very hard to find someone who knows how to work with a Mumma’s body post babies. Zoe is very knowledgeable & I’m enjoying working on establishing connection between the breath & lower abs & pelvic floor. A slower paced, isolated focus is really helping me get to know my body & feel my muscles working properly.

  • Victoria

    I’ve really enjoy my movement sessions with Zoe.
    I used to hate exercise and would give up but somehow Zoe has managed to get me to actually enjoy my Wednesday work outs.

    I especially appreciate how Zoe has been helping me to properly activate my glutes, something I had struggled with before (I had actually been told I had 'lazy glutes'). Zoe showed me that I just needed taylored exercises and believe me when I say that I felt them activate!!
    I feel stronger and enjoy seeing the progress that I'm making.
    I highly recommend Zoe at Movement Lab!

  • Renee

    Zoe got to know how my body works and moves, as well as my aches and pains. And slowly but surely she has fixed my lower back ache. With breath work to correct my posture and helpful cues to keep good form throughout the workouts. I am thankful to have found a way to push myself and still feel good for it the next day.

  • Hen

    “I’ve enjoyed every minute of training with Zoe - her depth of knowledge is second to none. I come away from each training session feeling in-balance and more in tune with my body.”

  • Sabrina

    I have previously done one on one sessions with Zoe but I am loving the small group classes and the support from the other ladies there. The classes are just the right mix of challenging and fun. Every week I notice small improvements in my strength and movements.... Already looking forward to the next 6 week cycle!
