The Allied Health Care professionals when it comes to health and physical activity…
You’ve been here before. Pain isn’t new to you. Lack of mobility isn’t new to you. You may have been advised that you have a chronic condition. Although medications may be necessary at times, and sometimes surgery seem to be the only perceived option, there are other solutions that can help you limit the need for either medications or surgery. In some cases, our Exercise Physiologists can even help delay or reduce the need for either.
MEET THE TEAM
DAVID – Senior Exercise Physiologist
When I started the business in 2011, I wanted the business name to resonate with how I feel about exercise and what it has done for me, as I am one of the millions of Australians suffering from a chronic condition (Osteoarthritis), hence, Phoenix Health & Fitness was born. Knowing what it feels like to suffer daily, but also having experienced the huge benefits of structured exercise is one of many driving forces behind my passion for what I do and the empathy I provide my patients/clients. There is no more rewarding a feeling than when I see my clients achieve their goals (and having FUN doing it); I believe that there is a management solution for every patient and every condition, therefore, my goal and passion as an Exercise Physiologist is to find that solution…

MICHAEL – Exercise Physiologist
I have a tremendous passion for movement, where I thoroughly enjoy and thrive off continuously challenging myself to improve and reach new limits.
I love having the pleasure to work with people and witnessing first hand the impact exercise have in their quality of life. This is the reason I chose to become an Exercise Physiologist, where I have been provided an opportunity to combine both my passion for movement and helping others. My aim is to provide you with a welcoming nature, fun experience and an overall understanding how exercise can help you!
SOFIE – Practice Manager
I originate from the land of Vikings, Hans Christian Andersen and LEGO – Denmark. My background in hospitality kept me longing for a job where I could connect with people while utilising my skills, abilities, and knowledge from my Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Language and Culture… and I found the best of both worlds here at Phoenix Health & Fitness. To be a part of our patients’ and clients’ journey to a healthier and better life is truly an honour and it inspires me everyday to do better myself.
I believe that no single human is the same and everybody has a unique story. This belief was reinforced once I started working at PH&F and I quickly realised I could be a part of changing people’s lives; helping increase their quality of life and give them unexpected support. If a dream job existed, this would be it for me – I cannot wait to meet you, listen to your story, and support you on your new journey!
