We were lucky to catch up with Zoe Spodek recently and have shared our conversation below.

Zoe, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

The idea for Zoetaylorfit was influenced by my own upbringing. I grew up doing gymnastics, so movement and fitness were a big part of my life from a young age. My parents have always been my role models—they go to the gym every morning, and watching their dedication and discipline planted the seed for my own passion for health and fitness.

As I got older, I knew I wanted to build something of my own. During the summer of 2023, I interned at a golf fitness performance facility, and seeing the owner build his brand and achieve success with a company that carried his name really inspired me. It made me realize how impactful it can be to create something personal and meaningful. About a month left of my intern, I submitted my application to have Zoetaylorfit LLC.

I went to Florida Atlantic University where I obtained my bachelors degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion. I wanted a company that reflected my identity—something that was not only my passion but also my brand. Being my own boss, creating Zoetaylorfit LLC, allowed me to do just that. I wanted to make a lasting impact on people’s lives through personalized, accessible fitness coaching, whether online or in person. The idea of helping others transform their health, while building a business that carries my name and vision, was incredibly exciting and rewarding. I truly care for all my clients outside the fitness facility, which makes my brand unique.

By blending personal connection, accountability, and a focus on long-term health, I knew I could bring something different—and I’ve never looked back. Beyond fitness, I want to leave a lasting impression on my clients by truly understanding their individual goals and challenges. I want to empower them not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, ensuring they leave each session feeling accomplished and supported on their journey to a healthier, happier life.

Zoetaylorfit LLC isn’t just a personal training company, it’s a place of comfort, happiness, and self-discovery. It’s where you can feel at home while embracing your journey to becoming your best self.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi, I’m Zoe, the founder of Zoetaylorfit LLC. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I grew up with a strong background in fitness, having been a gymnast for much of my childhood. My parents were always dedicated to their own fitness routines, and seeing their commitment helped shape my passion for health and wellness. After obtaining my degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from Florida Atlantic University, I knew I wanted to create something that reflected both my identity and my love for fitness.

During the summer of 2023, I interned at a golf fitness performance facility, and that experience was transformative. I saw firsthand how the owner built a successful brand around his name, combining his expertise with his personal vision. This made a huge impact on me and motivated me to pursue my own brand, Zoetaylorfit LLC, where I could offer personalized fitness coaching to help people lead healthier lives.

At Zoetaylorfit, I provide both in-person and online personal training services. My goal is to make fitness accessible and tailored to each client’s unique goals and lifestyle, whether they’re looking to improve strength, enhance mobility, or develop a sustainable workout routine. What sets me apart is my personal approach—fitness isn’t just about physical transformation for me; it’s about creating long-term health, well-being, and a mindset shift for my clients. I work to empower people not just physically but mentally and emotionally, helping them feel more confident in their bodies and their abilities.

I take great pride in the personal connections I build with my clients. I’ve always believed that real, lasting results come from a blend of accountability, trust, and personalized guidance. What makes Zoetaylorfit different is that I care deeply about my clients’ progress inside and outside the gym. I’m not just their trainer, but a partner in their journey to better health.

I’m most proud of how I’ve been able to create a space where people can feel supported, motivated, and comfortable in their fitness journey. Zoetaylorfit LLC isn’t just a personal training company—it’s a place of growth, happiness, and self-discovery. I want potential clients to know that working with me means more than just achieving physical results; it’s about building confidence, health, and finding joy in movement.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing my clientele has been creating authentic relationships and community engagement. I focus on building trust with my clients by providing personalized support and consistently showing that I genuinely care about their progress and well-being.

Word-of-mouth referrals have also been valuable to the growth of my business. When clients feel supported and see results, they naturally want to share their experiences with friends and family. I encourage this by creating a positive environment where everyone feels welcome and motivated. Ultimately, it’s about creating connections that inspire trust and loyalty, leading to sustainable growth for my business.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

My reputation within the market has been built on a foundation of authenticity, consistency, and results. From the start, I focused on creating genuine connections with my clients, listening to their needs, and tailoring my approach to fit their unique goals. This personal touch fosters trust, which is essential in the fitness industry.

Additonaly, I prioritize delivering a high quality service with my degree by my side and my certification in personal training. When clients feel valued and empowered, they’re more likely to share their experiences, leading to organic growth through word-of-mouth referrals. Overall, my focus on genuine relationships, quality service, and community engagement has been key to building a strong reputation in my market.
