Our story
Untapped began in 2021 as Untapped Athlete Development, when Kylie started coaching local athletes while completing her Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology. In 2023, the business grew to include clinical exercise physiology, so we could support not only athletes but anyone wanting to move better and live well.
Today, we see clients in our clinic at 118 Wood Street, in their homes, at local gyms and in the pool across Mackay, and we work with clients from the Whitsundays and beyond through our online programming.
Our Approach
We understand that global exercise guidelines and "what you should be doing" aren't realistic for everyone, and they can leave people feeling overwhelmed and disheartened. So rather than telling you what to do, we work with you.
Compassionate and personal
We recognise that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work.
Measurable
We use VALD technology to track your progress with real data.
Collaborative
We work alongside your GP, physio, specialists and support team.
Local
We're proud to be part of the Mackay community.
Our Mission
“Untapped Exercise Physiology is committed to empowering individuals to reach their full potential through exercise physiology and athlete development. We foster a compassionate and supportive environment where people and athletes of all abilities can thrive.”
Meet the Untapped Team
Kylie
Director, Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Athlete Development Coach
Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology · Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science · Accredited Exercise Physiologist · ASCA Level 1 Strength & Conditioning Coach
Kylie is a born and bred Mackay local who completed all of her studies, played netball and built her career in the region. She finished her Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science at CQUniversity Mackay in 2020, and in 2021 she founded Untapped Athlete Development and began her Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology through Charles Sturt University.

Playing junior representative netball sparked Kylie's passion for athlete development. She was always looking for ways to improve her speed, strength and athleticism to match it with the athletes she competed against. After finishing her degree, Kylie knew she wanted to share that passion with athletes in the Mackay region where she grew up, and to help people of all ages and abilities stay active and independent.
Outside work, you'll find Kylie running, watching rugby league, reading or trying out local cafes.
Marty
Clinical Exercise Physiologist.
Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology
As a born and bred Mackay local, and I'm excited to bring my passion for health and movement back to the community I grew up in. I am currently finishing my final year of study in Clinical Exercise Physiology, and I can't wait to put what I have learned into practice supporting clients here as your new Allied Health Assistant.
-
I have always been involved in sport and physical activity in some capacity, which has developed by deep belief in the transformative power of movement. Seeing people achieve their goals and milestones - big or small - is what drives me and gives me such a rewarding purpose! To me, there is nothing more rewarding than watching someone overcome challenges, make tangible improvements, and grow stronger both physically and mentally.
I particularly enjoy working with neurological clients and children, where small steps often lead to life-changing outcomes. Before entering this field, I spent over 10 years working with families and children in a professional capacity. I am excited to bring those communication, empathy, and support skills into Exercise Physiology practice.
When I'm not working or studying, I love staying active! Running is my go-to way to clear my head and recharge. I also really enjoy swimming and triathlons, with a full Ironman race on the bucket list! I am also a proud wife and mum to three beautiful children, and together we enjoy campong and making the most of Mackay's beautiful outdoors. You will often find me on the water, which is my favourite place to unwind.
Zac
Clinical Exercise Physiologist
Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology · Bachelor of Exercise Science
Growing up on the Far North Coast of NSW and playing rugby league for the Cudgen Hornets for 12 years, Zac developed a strong passion for sport and exercise. This passion led him to study a Bachelor of Exercise Science before completing a Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast in 2023.
-
Throughout his studies and professional experience, Zac discovered that specialised exercise training is not only valuable for athletes, but can also make a meaningful difference to people living with chronic health conditions. He has experience working across clinics, hydrotherapy, home visits and community settings, with a particular interest and experience in supporting people living with neurological conditions. To further develop this interest, he went on to complete a development course focused on boxing training for people living with Parkinson’s disease.
Zac enjoys working with people to help them achieve their goals, whether they are big milestones or small improvements in everyday life. What he enjoys most about being an Exercise Physiologist is being able to celebrate those achievements alongside his clients and see the positive impact exercise can have on their confidence, independence and quality of life.
Zac’s aim is to educate rather than simplify, helping clients build their independence and knowledge around whatever they might want to improve.
Outside of work, Zac enjoys playing golf, training in the gym, following rugby league, scuba diving and snorkelling, and taking part in card game tournaments.
Evie
Director, Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Athlete Development Coach
Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences · ASCA Level 1 Strength & Conditioning Coach · Level 1 Pregnancy & Postnatal Exercise · Currently completing Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology
Born and bred in Mackay, Evie has always had a passion for sport, exercise and living an active lifestyle. Having played soccer for most of her life and just about every other sport under the sun, being active has always been a big part of who she is.
-
Evie holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences and is currently completing her final year of her Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology, which she is set to finish in 2027.
Evie's interest in Exercise Physiology began after sustaining a significant knee injury in 2019. Going through her own lengthy rehabilitation journey gave her a firsthand understanding of not only the physical challenges of injury, but also the mental and emotional toll of being unable to do the things you love. This experience sparked her passion for helping others overcome challenges, rebuild their confidence and get back to doing the things that matter most to them.
Evie has a particular interest in neurological rehabilitation, paediatrics and athlete strength and conditioning, but also loves the variety that comes with working with people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. She finds it incredibly rewarding to support individuals in achieving goals they may have once thought were out of reach and seeing the positive impact exercise can have on their confidence, independence and overall quality of life.
Outside of work and study, you'll usually find Evie at the gym, out for a run, spending time with her partner, friends and family, or travelling and exploring new places!
