EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
Exercise Physiology Gym Visits in Mackay
Plenty of people have a gym membership they don't quite know what to do with. Maybe you're managing a health condition, coming back from an injury, or you've been told to "do some strength training" and walking into the weights area feels intimidating. Our gym visits are designed to fix that.
Your exercise physiologist meets you at your gym, builds a program around the equipment you have access to, and teaches you how to use it safely and confidently. The goal is simple: you leave able to train on your own, knowing exactly what to do and why.

Why train with an exercise physiologist?
Exercise physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals who specialise in exercise for people with health conditions, injuries and disabilities. Your program is built with your medical history in mind, not just your fitness goals, and we can liaise with your GP or other health professionals if needed.
Who gym visits suit
Gym visits are a good fit if you:
have a gym membership but aren't sure where to start
are managing chronic pain, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis or heart disease and want to exercise safely
are going through menopause and want to start strength training
have finished early injury rehab and are ready to train more independently
are an NDIS participant with a goal of using a local gym
want a program you can keep doing long after your sessions with us end.
How gym visits work
-
Your first appointment is a 60-minute initial consult. We'll go through your health history, goals and any injuries, and assess your strength and movement. Where it's helpful, we'll use VALD testing to set a baseline.
-
We'll meet you at your gym and build your program around the equipment there. We'll teach each exercise, check your technique and show you how to adjust things on days you're sore or tired.
-
As you get stronger, we'll book follow-up sessions to progress your program, re-test and troubleshoot anything that isn't working. Some people want weekly support at first, while others just need a program review every few weeks.
Fees
Standard consult fees apply
A travel fee applies each way: $20 (within 10 mins of our clinic), $30 (10–20 mins), $40 (20–30 mins), or quoted for 30+ mins.
Gym visits may be funded through Medicare (with a GP chronic condition management plan), NDIS (self-managed and plan-managed), WorkCover or third-party insurers. Private health rebates can be claimed on the spot through HICAPS.
Common questions
