Since graduating from the University of Tasmania in 2017 with a Bachelor of Exercise Science and Professional Honours in Exercise Physiology I have been working in private practice in Hobart. My passion for Exercise Physiology comes from helping people achieve their goals and seeing them progress through all stages of their recovery.

In 2019 this passion has led to Clare and myself starting up Hobart Exercise Physiology, to create an environment where we provide the best evidence based exercise for everyone needing help exercising. In 2021 we opened our South Hobart Clinic and now have our own amazing clinical gym space that is welcoming for all individuals.

I specialise in helping people going through and post cancer treatment and with individuals who suffer from an array of Musculoskeletal injuries and management of musculoskeletal pain. I am a firm believer that exercise is medicine and that any movement no matter how big or small is a step towards creating yourself a better quality of life for the future.

Since graduating I have worked with a wide variety of differing conditions and love the challenge of seeing new and different people with differing responses to exercises.

In my spare time I enjoy playing Cricket and Golf and remaining active in the gym or out walking or running.

I graduated from the University of Tasmania in June 2019 with a Bachelor of Exercise Science with Professional Honours in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Since graduating, I have been working in private practice in Hobart.

I am passionate about empowering clients to take control of their health using evidence-based exercise prescription and education. My goal is to help others to feel and move better by improving their strength, mobility and function.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages and understand that exercise capacity and individual goals change over time. I enjoy working with clients and helping them to experience the benefits and improvements in many musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, and metabolic health conditions through the use of exercise.

I have particular interest in assisting clients with osteoporosis, during and post cancer care, musculoskeletal issues, and people with disability . I have a passion for assisting elderly clients with mobility and maintaining optimal health with age and ensuring anyone living with disability, has access to safe and correctly prescribed exercise physiology. I believe strongly in utilising correctly prescribed and individually tailored exercise for the management of all chronic health conditions as this enables all individuals to ensure they have the best quality of life possible. I have a keen interest in working more with younger ages, particularly children, to assist in setting them up for the best health outcomes into adulthood.

Outside of my practitioner life, I enjoy keeping active with an involvement in surf lifesaving as an athlete and a coach.

I aspire to be an advocate for exercise and the important role it can play in improving the health of our community.

Currently on maternity leave until mid-late 2026

I graduated from the University of Tasmania in mid-2017 after completing an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science followed by a Professional Honours year studying clinical Exercise Physiology. Since then, I worked in private practice before starting Hobart Exercise Physiology in 2019 with Robb.

Our specialised South Hobart clinic allows us to work with a wide range of health conditions and with people from a variety of backgrounds. I am passionate about helping people; whether that is managing a chronic health condition, returning to sport post injury or just to provide an ear to listen and support you through a return to activity.

I specialise in the management of osteoporosis, developmental and congenital disorders, child and adolescent health, mental health, chronic pain, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I love that I am able to help people at many different stages of life and with a wide range of health and activity levels. I always work with people to identify their health and well-being goals, and then assist with achieving them, and improving their quality of life through evidence-based exercise prescription.

My own passion for sport and activity, including soccer, touch football and general health management, have guided my studies and career pathway so far and I look forward to continuing to develop and grow over the coming years.

After completing university studies in Exercise and Sport Science with the University of Tasmania and Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Charles Sturt University, I am excited to be starting my career with Hobart Exercise Physiology.

My aim as an Exercise Physiologist is to improve people’s lives through education and helping people implement exercise into their lives in a way that is enjoyable and beneficial to each individual. I love being able to help improve peoples mobility, strength and cardiovascular fitness as a way to help manage chronic conditions and injuries.

I am qualified in reformer Pilates and have thoroughly enjoyed teaching for the past year. Other interests include going on runs with my friends, playing any kind of sport in which I currently play touch football, and going to the gym. I recently went solo travelling for four months and thoroughly enjoyed learning about different ways of living and bush walking in different countries.

After completing university studies in Exercise and Sport Science with the University of Tasmania and Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Charles Sturt University, I am super excited to start my career with Hobart Exercise Physiology.
Having come from a sporty background (hockey, tennis, swimming and netball), I’ve always had a strong interest in keeping active and alongside many sporting injuries, it grew a strong interest for me to study an area I was passionate in and loved, which consolidated my learning of the importance of rehabilitation, strength and injury prevention.
I wish to be an advocate for exercise and utilise my passion to empower clients to take control of their health using evidence-based exercise interventions and education. My aim as a newly graduated exercise physiologist, is to help others feel and move better by improving overall function, strength, mobility and health.
Outside of work you will find me on a walk with a coffee in hand, swimming at the beach or spending time with family and friends.

G’day, I’m Gareth. I started my journey as a health professional at university, completing a Bachelor of Exercise Science then a Master's of Clinical Exercise Physiology at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, graduating in 2015. My initial five years as a health professional were spent working in Melbourne, first at St Vincent's Hospital and later in the Aged Care sector, where I specialised in at-home falls prevention. This foundational period was crucial in developing my expertise and honing my skills in patient care and rehabilitation.
In early 2020, I migrated to Tasmania, where my career in Exercise Physiology transitioned into workplace rehabilitation. I provided fit-for-work exercise programs and workplace injury management for employees across several large industrial worksites all around the state. My professional journey took a new turn in 2023 after my wife and I welcomed identical twins into the world. Shortly after, I embarked on a self-employed venture, working as an Exercise Physiologist with individuals of all ages who live with disabilities.
My passion in the field lies in understanding each person's unique situation. I do my best to guide those I work with towards gradual and sustainable improvement through tailored, evidence-based exercise programs, whilst endeavouring to impart the joy found in movement and achieving personal goals onto them and into their lives.
Outside of my professional life, my hobbies and interests are many and varied. Currently they revolve around time with family and friends, running, and playing the occasional round of golf. I am an avid cricket follower/former player coach and passionately support the mighty Western Bulldogs in the AFL!

I completed a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Queensland University of Technology while working in youth and adult Strength and Conditioning. I spent time working as an exercise physiologist in Brisbane, primarily in paediatrics, before returning Hobart and joining the Hobart Exercise Physiology team in 2025!

I believe that movement and exercise should be enjoyable, fun, and work for you. I love to help my clients explore all forms of movement, and am passionate about creating safe and inclusive spaces for movement.

While I have had the privilege to work with many amazing clients, my main areas of interest are women’s health (particularly pelvic floor dysfunction and exercise during menopause transition), neurodiversity, and working with paediatric populations to develop gross motor skills, confidence, mental health, and positive relationships with movement. I also have experience working with eating disorders and within gender affirming care, particularly for young people.

I am a qualified clinical reformer and mat pilates instructor and utilise these movements often when working with my clients!

When I’m not working you’ll find me at the nearest coffee shop, exploring bush-walks, or in the gym!

My journey in the health and exercise industry began in the UK in 2016, where I started leading small-group fitness classes and working as a personal trainer at my local gym. The clients I coached and the people I worked alongside during those formative years sparked a lasting passion for human movement, health, and performance.

I went on to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Sport and Exercise Science, followed by a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology, graduating in 2021. After university, I spent three years working as a Cardiac Physiologist within the UK National Health Service (NHS). There, I gained hands-on experience in cardiovascular diagnosis and rehabilitation while completing further postgraduate training in Cardiac Science.

As my interest in rehabilitation, performance, and exercise-based healthcare continued to grow, I moved to Australia to pursue a career as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist. I am passionate about helping people improve their health, function, and quality of life through exercise, and I look forward to supporting you on your own journey, regardless of your starting point or goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Tasmania, strength training, running, and bushwalking adventures. I love sharing my enthusiasm for movement with the people I work with and helping them build confidence, achieve their goals, and enhance their everyday lives.

From a young age, I have been drawn to both movement and meaningful connection with others. I’ve always valued the role that exercise can play not just in physical health, but in building confidence, resilience, and overall well-being. This interest naturally evolved into a career path, leading me to complete a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at University of Tasmania in December 2024, followed by a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology through Charles Sturt University, which I completed in March 2026.

What I find most rewarding about my work is the opportunity to support individuals through often challenging periods in their lives. I am motivated by seeing people regain independence, rebuild confidence in their bodies, and achieve goals they may not have thought possible. I value a compassionate, person-centred approach, and aim to create an environment where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their journey. I am particularly passionate about using exercise as a tool to create lasting, positive change, both physically and mentally. Being able to play a role in improving someone’s quality of life, no matter how big or small the outcome, is what continues to drive my commitment to this profession.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle through the gym, running, and playing soccer with Kingborough Lions United FC. I also place a strong value on spending quality time with friends and family, and enjoy being outdoors.

I graduated from the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2021 with a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology before relocating to Tasmania to begin my career. I have a particular interest in helping people with neurological conditions, women's health concerns, and scoliosis, using evidence-based exercise to improve function, confidence, and quality of life. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to develop personalised exercise programs that support their individual goals and long-term wellbeing.

Coming from a sporting background, I understand the challenges that injuries can bring—I've had my fair share. This personal experience has reinforced my appreciation of the important role exercise plays in rehabilitation, recovery, and injury prevention, allowing me to relate to clients throughout their own rehabilitation journey.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me training for 70.3 Half Ironman events (swimming, cycling, and running), volunteering as a sports trainer for a local AFL team, or spending time training my energetic puppy.

Exercise Physiologist
I graduated from the University of New England in 2022 with a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology.

Having come from a sporty background (netball, swimming and outdoor adventuring), I've always had a keen interest in keeping active and so throughout high school it made sense to study an area that I loved, which was solidified after a sporting injury where I realised the importance of rehabilitation and preventing injury recurrence.

Throughout my time at university I learned more about the role that exercise plays in our lives and am now a strong advocate for movement and exercise throughout every stage of life - whether it be youth, pregnancy, post-injury, elderly populations, disability, or chronic health conditions. Throughout my university placements and since starting work as an Exercise Physiologist, I have developed an interest in the role that exercise plays in the prevention and management of chronic health conditions such as respiratory conditions, mental health, cardiac conditions and diabetes (with a specific interest in Type 1 Diabetes) and neurological conditions/NDIS. Each client is different from the next and so I enjoy the challenge to be creative in what I do with people and keep exercise interesting. As I've got older, I've also realised the importance of maintaining strength and functionality to be able to keep up with what life gives you, and have recognised that exercise is the key element for this.

I want to be an advocate for exercise and help people to realise that exercise doesn't have to be a chore, but rather something that they'll want to do and strive to achieve this through patient education and creative evidence based exercise prescription.

Outside of work, you can find me playing netball or enjoying time spent wandering through the wilderness!

I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of New England, driven by a passion for helping people live stronger and pain-free lives.
In my role at HEP as an Allied Health Assistant, I work closely with clients to achieve their fitness goals under the expert guidance of our prescribing Exercise Physiologists. I am committed to providing personalised support and motivation to enhance overall well-being. In my free time, I enjoy mountain biking, going to the gym, and listening to live music with friends.

Having grown up in an active, sports-loving family, I've always had a passion for fitness and all-things sport. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science at Charles Darwin University, and as I progress in my studies, I'm committed to helping others enhance their health through movement. When I'm not working at the clinic, you’ll probably find me at the beach with my dog, on the hockey field, or hanging out with family and friends.

Growing up in a sporty family, I developed a strong passion for exercise, health, and helping others stay active. This passion led me to complete a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Tasmania, and I am currently furthering my knowledge through a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Charles Sturt University.

As an Exercise Scientist, I enjoy working closely with clients to support them in achieving their health, fitness, and rehabilitation goals. I am passionate about using evidence-based exercise to improve quality of life and help individuals build confidence in their movement and physical wellbeing.

Outside of work and study, you'll usually find me playing netball, training at the gym, spending time outdoors, and catching up with family and friends. I enjoy staying active and embracing the same healthy lifestyle that I encourage in my clients.

Originally from the North West coast, I grew up loving all things sport and exercise. Running from basketball to netball to surf club, I developed a passion for moving my body, helping others and having a laugh while doing it!
I competed my Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at University of Tasmania, graduating in 2025, which has led to my Sport Scientist role here at Hobart Exercise Physiology.

From my studies, I have strengthened my passion for helping others and using movement in a variety of ways to compliment sport and tasks of everyday life. You will find me working with the Exercise Physiologists to develop and deliver exercise programs and initiatives to help achieve long term goals and assist your health and wellbeing journey. By providing outstanding client care with thoughtful, evidence based treatment, my goal is to provide an exceptional experience every time you walk through the door.

When I’m not working you will find me at the playing netball, in the gym or spending time with friends and family. I love being outside and moving my body, especially if that involves a walk and a coffee!

With a background in Occupational Therapy and health, I’m passionate about helping people thrive in their everyday lives. My career has taken me across Canada, London and Europe, before I settled in Tasmania five years ago after welcoming my daughter.

Outside of the clinic, I love spending time with my family and friends, exploring Tasmania, weight lifting at the gym, and supporting the local food and arts scene.

I’m excited to be part of the team at Hobart Exercise Physiology and look forward to supporting our team in helping you achieve your goals, whatever they maybe.

After 27 years working in Hobart Pathology administration, I joined the Hobart Exercise Physiology reception team four years ago. Since then, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our clients and being part of their journey toward better health and wellbeing.

As a member of our reception team, I am here to assist with anything you may need and will often be one of the first friendly faces to welcome you when you arrive at the clinic.

Outside of work, I enjoy starting most mornings at the gym. On my days off, you'll usually find me spending time with my grandchildren or cheering on my son from the sidelines of his sporting events.

I look forward to welcoming you to Hobart Exercise Physiology and helping make your experience with us a positive one.

I bring over 10 years of trusted reception experience to our team, ensuring smooth clinic operations and excellent patient care.

Outside the clinic you will find me chasing after two wild boys, exploring the bush and cherishing every moment making memories together.

I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic and being a part of your journey with us at Hobart Exercise Physiology.

Growing up in a sporty family, health and fitness have always been a big part of my life. I spent many years playing soccer and representing Tasmania before an ACL injury and surgery led me to step away from the sport in 2020. Since then, I have developed a passion for strength training and enjoy training in the gym six days a week. Outside of work and training, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and our dog.

With almost 11 years of experience in the fitness industry, specialising in retail and gym equipment sales, I have built a strong understanding of exercise and the role it plays in improving health and wellbeing.

Seeking to broaden my experience within the industry, I transitioned into a client-facing role early March 2025 where I help create a welcoming and supportive environment for clients and visitors. This opportunity has allowed me to further develop my customer service skills, build meaningful relationships within the community, and support individuals as they work towards their health and fitness goals. I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable, motivated, and confident throughout their fitness journey.

I grew up in a very sporty family, which sparked my love for all things sport and exercise. I have a particular love for swimming, doing it competitively until I was 21, and netball, which I have played since I was 10. This love for sport has also led me to undertake a Bachelor’s degree of Exercise and Sport Science with the University of Tasmania.

I have been a client at HEP for a long time, working with the team to help manage injuries and
build strength to support my sporting commitments. This has given me a great understanding of the role the HEP team plays in positively influencing a client’s health and exercise journey.

I’m now excited to be one of the friendly faces you see at the desk when you arrive, helping to
make your experience as smooth and welcoming as possible, while also assisting with
administrative duties at the front desk.
