Personal Training & Chronic Conditions Coaching in Maidstone, Medway & Tonbridge
Hi, I’m Zoe.
My personal fitness journey began when my health conditions and weight became a huge problem for me. I was suffering from thyroid issues, ME/CFS, and weight problems. I was also learning how to cope with an ADHD diagnosis and other mental health conditions. I needed help to get out of bed most days.
After being told by Doctors that there wasn't anything they could do for me, I decided there had to be some ways I could help myself, and my research and recovery journey started there.
I wasn't confident enough to go to a gym so I found a PT who offered coaching in my house. The number of PTs qualified in Long Term Conditions is very low, so I was lucky.
During my first few sessions, I was using 500g dumbbells (weighing a little more than a tin of Baked Beans!) and I used my sofa to learn how to safely do squats. Then I progressed after a couple of months of confidence-building and trusting that I would not have a relapse, or if I did, that I could surrender to it and cope.
My strength, mobility, and confidence grew massively in the weeks and months following this. With the mix of an amazing coach, the correct nutrition advice, consistency, and patience, I lost weight and became a better and healthier version of myself. These changes truly contributed to my recovery from ME/CFS.
I was so inspired that I decided I wanted to help others in this way. I am now a qualified fitness professional, and my 'before' and 'after' photos show how transformative this journey can be.
I am a qualified, fully insured, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable personal trainer who can offer you a tailored and world-class service in an environment to suit you. I pride myself on being an empathetic and person-centred coach.
My mission is to support those who struggle with barriers that hold them back in improving their health and fitness.
These 'barriers' can make it difficult, or seem impossible to become fit and healthy overall.
I want everyone with a long-term condition to know that I know what it's like to feel powerless, and I also know what it's like to keep pushing through and making things worse. I also want to show that recovery from ME/CFS IS POSSIBLE.
If you are not able to visit a gym, you are too busy, too intimidated, not confident enough, or have limited mobility and are therefore not likely to be happy in a gym setting, I can bring the gym to you!
If you need a friendly and patient personal trainer to help you reach your health and fitness goals, please contact me to arrange a free consultation or find me in the gym!
