“I want to get healthier and lose weight.”
Your Weight Loss Journey Deserves Expert Support
Weight loss isn't easy. We understand that each person's struggle is unique, and that's why cookie-cutter solutions rarely work long-term.
At Exercise for Rehabilitation & Health, we take a comprehensive approach to your health, not just your weight. Our exercise physiologists collaborate with GPs to improve what truly matters: your daily wellbeing, energy levels, sleep quality, and managing your weight sustainably.
Rather than promoting quick fixes, we focus on body composition change—building muscle while reducing fat—through tailored exercise and evidence-based nutrition strategies. This combined approach delivers more meaningful results than diet alone. For some clients, this includes medically supervised meal replacements; for others, individualised meal planning with our dietitian.
Our end goal remains consistent: to help you achieve and maintain the health outcomes that matter most to you.
Weight loss is personal. So is our approach. We bring clinical expertise and real understanding to help you not just lose weight, but keep it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is your weight loss program different from others?
Unlike standard gym programs or fad diets, our approach combines professional exercise physiology expertise with medical oversight and evidence-based nutritional guidance. We recognise that obesity is a chronic health condition—not a personal failing—that requires proper clinical management.
We see you as a whole person and create personalised plans based on your unique health status, medical history and goals. Our team focuses on measurable health outcomes beyond weight alone, including improvements in HbA1c, blood pressure and blood lipids.
You'll experience the confidence of being supported by a collective of specialists working together, whether that involves individualised exercise programmes, nutritional guidance, or medically-supervised approaches for those with specific health risks. Our practice is both driven to achieve results and committed to providing a supportive, positive experience where you remain at the centre of care.
Why an Exercise Physiologist for Weight loss?
While diet plays a crucial role in weight management, research shows that combining proper nutrition with expert-guided exercise delivers superior long-term results. Our exercise physiologists understand how to preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss—something that calorie restriction alone cannot achieve.
When you begin a professionally structured exercise programme early in your weight management journey, you'll experience improvements beyond just weight loss: better mental health, reduced blood pressure, improved blood glucose levels, and enhanced quality of life. Additionally, increased muscle mass boosts your metabolic rate, helping you maintain results long-term.
How does exercise benefit weight management beyond calories?
Exercise delivers powerful health benefits that complement weight management. Our programmes incorporate both strength and cardiovascular training to improve:
-
Blood pressure and cholesterol levels
-
Insulin sensitivity
-
Bone density
-
Mental wellbeing
-
Physical function and mobility
These improvements often matter more for long-term health than weight loss alone.
What if I'm already seeing someone to help me in my weight loss journey?
That sounds great! If you are working with other medical, allied health professionals or fitness professionals, we look forward to communicating with them frequently so together we can best support you to create long term strategies that work.
What if I have health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure?
Our team specialises in exercise for various health conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal issues. Many clients initially come to us for these concerns and discover the benefits of our integrated approach to overall health.
