Exercise works like a medication: the right dose helps, the wrong dose does nothing or hurts. An Accredited Exercise Physiologist works out your dose, supervises it, and changes it as you improve.
NDIS, Medicare care plans, DVA, workers compensation and private health all accepted.
Exercise physiology is for people managing something ongoing, or rebuilding after something significant. It is not a gym membership with a nicer name.
If pain is the main barrier rather than capacity, we may start you with physiotherapy and hand across once you are comfortable. Same building, same notes.
We work with plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants. Exercise physiology commonly sits under Improved Daily Living or Improved Health and Wellbeing, and we can write the reports your plan review needs. Bring your plan details to the first appointment and reception will sort out the paperwork with you.

Greta has worked as an exercise physiologist for more than four years. She designs exercise programs for people managing a chronic condition, coming back from injury or working toward NDIS goals, and runs them with you in the rehabilitation gym on site.
Meet the teamAn Accredited Exercise Physiologist holds a four-year university degree and is qualified to prescribe exercise as treatment for medical conditions — diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoarthritis, chronic pain. That also means their services can attract Medicare, DVA, NDIS and private health funding, which personal training cannot.
Not to book. You will need one from your GP if you want a Medicare rebate under a chronic disease management plan, or if you are a DVA client. For NDIS we just need your plan details.
Especially. Nearly everyone we see starts well below where they expect to. The whole point of graded exercise is that it starts at a level you can actually manage and moves from there.
Both, depending on what you need. Most people start one-on-one so we can get the prescription right, then move into small-group sessions in the studio once they are confident.
