Exercise Physiology
Exercise that's designed for you, not just prescribed to you.
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university-trained allied health professional who specialises in using exercise to prevent and manage chronic disease, injury, and disability.
At Core Health Group, we're Geelong's only clinic where that clinical expertise is delivered inside a fully equipped, operational gym — not a rehab room with a handful of equipment. That distinction matters.
It means your program runs in the same environment where you'll eventually train independently. It means our team can observe how you move under real load, not just in controlled isolation. And it means the transition from clinical supervision to self-directed training is gradual, supported, and far more effective.
Whether you're managing a complex health condition, recovering from injury, working through an NDIS or DVA plan, or simply wanting to train smarter under professional guidance — we'll build something that genuinely fits your life.
