About

Independent coaching. Built for future ADF candidates.

Defence Ready is an independent Australian fitness coaching business helping applicants build the strength, confidence and preparedness needed before beginning their Australian Defence Force journey.

The Co-Founders

Michael Agosti & Zell Rust

Defence Ready was founded by Michael Agosti and Zell Rust to give applicants the structure, accountability and physical preparation they need before walking into their first day of recruit training.

We coach the work that actually matters — push-ups, sit-ups, running, pack conditioning, nutrition and mindset — programmed against the kind of standards applicants will be measured against.

"Most applicants aim to pass. We prepare you to perform."

Defence Ready is an independent fitness coaching business and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the Australian Defence Force or the Department of Defence.
