What is an Exercise Physiologist?
Accredited Exercise Physiologists are university trained, allied health professionals that specialise in how the body responds to activity of all kinds in both states of health as well as disease and injury.

We use a high level knowledge of anatomy, human physiology (how the body works), pathophysiology (the function of disease and injury) and biomechanics (how the body moves and operates within the laws of physics) to exploit the bodies amazing ability increase its strength and aerobic capacity, recover from surgery or injury as well as thrive in the face of chronic disease.

Unique Tailored Solutions
As the old saying goes, you can't change what you can't measure, problem is that when it comes to the body, it can be very difficult and expensive to measure certain aspects of health. Therefore, most health professionals will use estimates or indirect measures to base treatment on. At iFitness, we know that your unique and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Therefore we are not content to just guess with your health and have spared no expense in acquiring cutting edge equipment to measure how your body works so that you get a truly individualised solution.

Best quality care
In the past, Central Coast residents have often traveled to Sydney for the best health care. At ifitness, we have patients that travel from Sydney and as far North as Nelsons Bay and now with Telehealth are able to see people accross the country and the world.

We are convinced that iFitness is able to offer services to such a standard that will see more and more people from Sydney and Newcastle travelling to the Coast to get the best care!
