About Us

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.

ifitness is the unique combination of high level expertise, years of experience, state of the art equipment and a passion to improve your health. ifitness is family owned an operated and has been actively improving the health of our community since 2007.

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.

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP’s) have a broard skill set due to the fact that we have a great working knowledge of many fundamental scientific priciples that govern how the body moves and works (see above). Because of this there are lots of ways that AEP’s can help people achieve their health or fitness goals.

Some places where you will see AEP’s working are:

• Hospitals
• Private clinics
• Rehab facilities
• Nursing homes
• Institutes of sports
• Professional Sporting teams
• Government (eg. designing public health initiatives)

Just some of the ways AEP’s can help people are:

• Improve their strength, fitness and flexability
• Manage chronic and complex health conditions
• Manage pain more effectively
• Increase balance and mobility
• Recover from injury or surgery
• Improve sporting performance
• Improve motivation and helpf facilitate behaviour change
• Understand your body better
• Get started with exercise in a safe and informed way
• Perform testing and screening for employment
• Prepare for challenges or events (eg. hikes, charity endurance events, travel, emergency services physical assessments)
• Prenatal care and preparation for birth
• Postnatal rehabilitation and recovery from all birthing methods

If you have something else that you think we might be able to help with, please let us know, we would love to help!

The best equipment, programs and ideas in the world are useless without a great team of people to help put the wheels in motion. Our greatest asset is the team of people who work for us to bring you the best care.
