FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers. If something is not covered here, post it in the forum once you are a member — or email admin@zone6.com.au before you join.

Getting started
What exactly is Zone6?
+

Zone6 is a coaching membership, not a fitness app. You get direct access to two qualified coaches (Alexandra Milne and Matthew Hampton), a monthly live coaching call, a private forum with responses within 48 hours, 50+ expert education resources, and progressive training programs.

It sits in the space between a generic app and 1:1 coaching, giving you real coach access at a fraction of the price of private coaching.

How much does it cost?
+

$25 AUD per week, billed monthly. Cancel anytime. We are available globally with many members being international (all resources and text is in english)  

Alexandra charges $200+ AUD per week for 1:1 coaching. Matt charges $150+ AUD per week for 1:1 PED coaching and is at capacity. Zone6 gives you direct access to both coaches at a fraction of that price.

Which membership should I choose?
+

The memberships are two unique journeys. The female subscription is built around female hormones, issues and female specific programming. The males is built towards male programming, resources and education

Do I need a gym?
+

Our programs are largely built around you having access to a equipped gym. Matt has 1 home program which requires minimal equipment and Alexandra has a db only home program and a DB & Barbell only program. These programs are specifically written for access to only the specified equipment and to ensure you still get progressive overload and great results. We do not give home variations of every program as we pride ourselves of giving you real coaching programs vs just a inferior banded or db swap for an exercise, that will lead to less results for you. We want you to win and get the best results and thats why we built zone6 this way.

The coaching
Do the coaches actually answer the forum?
+

Yes. Alexandra answers the female forum. Matt answers the male forum. Not a team member, not AI, not a moderator, the coaches themselves, within 48 hours every day.

We built Zone6 to be an extension of us so we could help more people. We love coaching and we built this to still have that contact and coaching support with you. There is no one else that will answer in the forum but us.

Is the forum private?
+

The forum is completely private. If you would feel more comfortable you can easily change your name in the app to an alias so you feel more comfortable sharing.

What can I ask in the forum?
+

Anything relevant to your training and goals. Macro planning, cut or build strategy, training questions, hormones, supplementation, PEDs (male forum), how to interpret your data, what to do when something feels off. We are here to help, here to support and here to ensure you get results. You ask we answer.

What is the monthly call?
+

A live coaching call every month, one topic covered in depth, then open Q&A. Submit your question before the call and we work through as many as possible live. Anything not covered gets answered in the forum. Recordings are posted within 24 hours so you never miss a session.

Female and male calls run separately. Matt joins the female call for the Q&A segment for any supplementation questions.

Programs & training
Why are there no exercise swaps for all exercises?
+

We built these programs and chose exercises based on a specific stimulus and purpose to get the best results. Having a dropdown with options to choose from might sound great but it actually hinders your performance, not helps it.

From previous experience, when clients have an easier option they go with that one, versus an exercise that is in there to push them. When you change your exercises you are changing the whole program, and we never want to deliver a program we do not fully believe in and know will produce results.

What if I need a swap due to equipment or a limitation?
+

Generic swaps do not work, what does is a custom one for your situation. If you genuinely need a substitution due to missing equipment or a physical limitation, post in the forum with your program name, the exercise you cannot do, and why. We will personally give you the best swap for your situation, one that benefits rather than hinders you ( within reason ).

Why no meal plans?
+

Meal plans sound great but they do not work long term. It is not sustainable to eat the same things every day, have nothing off plan, or stick to a rigid structure for your entire journey. What happens when you did not get to meal prep that week? What happens when you go out for dinner?

Meal plans are a poor band-aid fix. They sound easier but they actually cause more stress and frustration long term and hinder results in practical use. Zone6 teaches you to understand your nutrition so you can adapt to any situation, not follow a rigid plan until it breaks.

Why no multiple day options for each program?
+

When programs are written they are not just balanced for that day but for the entire weekly workload. What most apps do is build a 5-day program and subtract days,  which is not how the program was written for you to see results.

We are here to ensure you get top-tier programming. That is why every program is written for a specific frequency to ensure you are getting the right workload. We have programs suited for 3, 4, and 5 days and are always taking on your feedback about which ones you want next.

Can I get a custom training program?
+

No. Zone6 programs are coach-written for specific goals, not individually designed. There are multiple programs covering different goals and equipment setups. If your schedule or goal changes, post in the forum and your coach will direct you to the right program for your situation. We are always adding programs to the membership, we prioritise the ones you are loving or what the community wants to focus on, looking for something, let us know and we might be able to build one for everyone.
