Frequently asked questions

How is exercise physiology different from personal training?
Exercise physiologists hold university qualifications in clinical exercise science. They are qualified to work with complex medical conditions and disabilities, unlike personal trainers who focus on general fitness.
Can I use my NDIS funding for a gym membership?
Gym memberships alone are typically not NDIS funded. However, exercise physiology sessions that include supervised gym-based exercise are fundable. Some plans fund gym fees as part of a therapy program.
Do exercise physiologists do home visits?
Yes. Many EP providers offer mobile services, setting up exercise programs in your home or local park. This is particularly useful for participants with transport barriers.
How often should I see an exercise physiologist?
Typically 1-2 sessions per week initially for program setup and supervision, reducing to fortnightly or monthly once you can exercise independently with your prescribed program.
