Terms of Use
The ground rules for using this website and reading what is on it. Plain English, no surprises.
Last updated September 30, 2026.
This website is run by Fitness by Zoe ("FBZ", "I", "me"), the coaching practice of Zoe Schwartz, based in Brooklyn, New York. By using fitnessbyzoe.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Coaching is education, not medical advice
I am a certified personal trainer and coach. I am not a doctor, a registered dietitian or a mental health professional. Everything on this site, and the coaching I offer, is education and accountability. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace the care of your own healthcare providers.
Talk to your physician before you start any exercise or nutrition program, especially if you are pregnant or postpartum, have an injury or a health condition, or take medication. If something hurts or feels wrong while you are exercising, stop and get medical advice. Exercise carries a risk of injury, and you take part in any exercise you choose to do at your own risk.
Results are individual and not guaranteed
I do not promise or guarantee any result. What you get from training and nutrition depends on many things, including your starting point, your health, your consistency and your life outside the gym.
Testimonials
The client quotes on this site are real clients describing their own experience. They are individual experiences. They are not typical results and they are not a promise of what will happen for you. Where a client mentions a health outcome, that is her own account and not a medical claim from me.
Blog and free resources
Blog posts, the newsletter and free resources are general education. They are written for a general audience and do not take your personal circumstances into account. Where a post mentions research, the sources are listed so you can read them yourself. Do not rely on a blog post in place of advice from a professional who knows your situation.
Calls, coaching and workshops
Wellness Strategy Sessions are booked through Typeform and Calendly, and workshops through Calendly. Those services have their own terms. Booking a call does not commit you to coaching. If you become a coaching client, the terms you agree to when you sign up apply to that coaching alongside these terms.

You are welcome to read them, share a link and quote a short passage with credit and a link back. Please do not copy, resell or republish the content, or use it to train or sell a competing program, without my written permission.

This site links to other websites, including Typeform, Calendly, Instagram, LinkedIn and research sources. I do not control those sites and I am not responsible for their content or how they handle your information. This site is not a part of, or endorsed by, any social platform.
