Zane has made a huge impact on how I now approach my strength and conditioning in the gym. After transitioning from the ADF with persistent pain, I was at a low point mentally, struggling to accept my substantial physical limitations and barely active. I suffered from horrible hip arthritis and found exercise very difficult. From day one, Zane allowed me no more excuses. He demonstrated his impressive depth of knowledge as he guided me through adapted positions and movements to complete a challenging session, and my body felt great! Zane is consistently expanding his professional growth and I highly recommend him as a passionate and supportive coach.

I started with Zane 12 months post ACL reconstruction and through my meniscus tear and surgery. Didn't know my meniscus was torn and was having a lot of fear around training due to my knee locking. Zane supported me through every episode and modified my training around this. My rehab had fallen down due to moving interstate. Zane got me on the right track and has helped me improve all of my patterning allowing me to train pain free and most importantly fear free. Zane has also helped me with nutrition and I managed to lose 10kg whilst gaining strength and powerlifting. One of my goals in the 6-7 years I've been powerlifting is to compete and I'm about to do my first comp in about a month! Zane has taught me so much and I wouldn't be ticking this goal off, if it wasn't for him!

I've been training with Zane for some time after initially contacting him due to significant pain in my shoulder blade, which prevented me from training. We began with a thorough assessment, and in just about two weeks, I noticed a considerable improvement that allowed me to train with minimal pain. Over a few months, the pain mostly subsided, and I regained normal movement. However, I then began experiencing neck pain, which became a new challenge for my training routine. Zane skilfully adjusted our sessions to accommodate this issue and recommended an excellent physiotherapist who helped me tackle the problem effectively. Thanks to this tailored approach, I am now training with significantly less pain, and we are on a path to fully resolve my neck and shoulder issues by the end of the 2024 year. Zane’s deep understanding of pain, stemming from his own past experiences, allows him to empathise and tailor his training methods effectively. This personal insight into pain management significantly enhances the support he provides. I highly recommend Zane to anyone dealing with injuries. He is not only great for those looking to return to their normal activities but also for those eager to train rigorously and safely.

I began training with Zane just over a year ago to address ongoing challenges related to an old shoulder injury impacting my ability to participate in fitness activities and it has been such a positive experience! During our initial sessions, Zane conducted a thorough assessment of my condition, identified areas of discomfort, and developed tailored exercises to strengthen my shoulder and improve mobility. Zane demonstrated a compassionate approach, acknowledging my pain and concerns about training, and made necessary adjustments to ensure a pain-free workout experience. What I really appreciate about Zane is how understanding he is. He never minimises or ignores my discomfort during training, and he's always willing to adjust things so that I can workout pain-free. As a result of Zane's guidance, I am now able to train without pain, with increased confidence and overall physical well-being. I also appreciate that Zane recognises the limits of his expertise and isn't afraid to refer me to other professionals when needed. He has connected me with dieticians and exercise physiologists to address issues outside of his scope of practice, which shows me that he truly cares about my well-being. His commitment to providing comprehensive support underscores his dedication to his clients' health and fitness goals. Additionally, Zane has helped me address gym anxiety and self-confidence issues, fostering a positive and empowering environment for personal growth. He has shown me that it's okay to make mistakes and that I should be proud of my achievements, both in the gym and in life. If you're hesitant about starting coaching with Zane, don't be! It's truly the best decision I've made for myself, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering taking their fitness journey to the next level.

Zane’s coaching has been awesome. At first I was worried if this was the right approach but for me. As an overweight person I often have felt judged as being lazy and shamed by health and fitness professionals. I did not experience this with Zane. I’ve struggled with chronic back pain for over 10 years - and with the coaching with Zane I am achieving goals and feeling the best I have in 10 years. Zane’s approach is so genuine and completely non judgemental. It’s been a journey of setting realistic goals, learning about easy ways to reduce chronic pain and build my strength, fitness and understanding nutrition.

I've trained with Zane's help and expertise for the last 12 months and have seen noticeable strength and fitness gains. I suffer from spina bifida and training can be very difficult for me. Zane helped me through this time managing various injuries from previous sports along with my own lifelong condition. Whenever something didn't work, he found a workaround for it. I highly recommend Zane to anyone with medical conditions and disabilities. He's always up for the challenge of helping clients achieve their goals.

I have been training with Zane for a little over 6 months and in that time I’ve gained so much confidence in my ability to train with a chronic back injury. Zane is so knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches and knows a heap of people in the industry to help you out on your journey. If you’re nursing an injury, I cannot recommend Zane highly enough to get you back to moving pain free.

For three challenging months, I struggled with an injury in my rhomboid/shoulder area. Despite visiting numerous physiotherapists, chiropractors and specialists, I was always left with prescriptions but no real progress towards getting back into the gym for heavy lifting. Everything change when I went for an initial session with Zane. In just one hour, he instilled in me the confidence that I could still pursue heavy weightlifting with the right techniques and tools. For months, I hadn’t experienced relief or the ability to relax my right arm, but Zane’s attentive listening and detailed understanding of my issue, coupled with his focus of my goals, provided me with a clear path forward. Zane not only addressed my concerns, but also tailored his approach to help me achieve my lifting goals while ensuring a safe recovery. Thanks to his guidance, I finally felt relief in the gym. Zane’s expertise and personalised strategy not only facilitated my recovery but also reignited my passion for heavy lifting. I am immensely grateful for Zane’s support, as it has been pivotal in my journey back to the gym and lifting weights wth confidence.
