Achieve better health through exercise

Our exercise physiologist can help you reach your health and fitness goals by providing evidence-based exercise 'prescription' and movement programs, as well as practical advice on lifestyle changes to maintain your results. Our clinic is open to the public and no referrals are required.

When visiting our clinics, you can choose to be treated by a highly experienced practitioner in our private clinics or by supervised students at reduced rates in our student clinics.

* In the wake of the ongoing Coronavirus situation, patient and practitioner safety and support remain our highest priority. If you have been feeling unwell or have been diagnosed with Coronavirus, we encourage you to re-book your appointment after clearance from a medical professional.

Open to the public

No referrals required

Our Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP), Erin Barrett has a wealth of experience in helping those with chronic medical conditions and injuries, and uses the latest evidence-based research to develop tailored exercise programs for her clients. Erin can help those with neurological, musculoskeletal, metabolic, cardiovascular or respiratory conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, lower back pain, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and many more, and can also help those in good health looking to take their fitness to the next level.

What we do

Our exercise physiologist will find out your health goals and develop exercise programs to help you get there. Your initial health screening will assess your movement capacity and you will be given practical advice on how to maintain and improve your fitness. Individual exercise programs range from those living with chronic conditions and illnesses right up to elite athletes wanting to increase performance.

Leaders in exercise

Unlike other exercise practitioners such as personal trainers, an AEP is university qualified (4 years) and undertakes strict accreditation requirements. Our AEP is registered with Medicare, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, WorkCover and is recognised by most private health insurers.

Telehealth appointment

Telehealth consultations allow you to receive the same level of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention aspects that you'd receive with face-to-face consultations, over the internet, in the convenience of your own home.

Our exercise physiologist can help treat and manage a wide range of health conditions and concerns. Our clinic is open to the public and no referrals are required.

Our exercise physiologist can help with:

  • exercise prescription
  • evidence-based programs
  • chronic conditions
  • injury and rehabilitation
  • health education
  • exercise advice
  • sports performance
  • behaviour modification.

Initial consultation

During your initial one-hour consultation, our exercise physiologist will ask a few questions to get an idea of where you’re currently at with your health and to find out what things you like and dislike about exercise. A few body measurements may be carried out, depending on your goals, such as waist to hip ratio, weight and blood pressure to help in determining the next steps of your tailored program. From here you will be given suggestions on the types of exercises suitable, and a personalised exercise program or physical activities strategy will be developed.
