Exercise Physiologist

An Exercise Physiologist creates physical activity programs for clients with a range of needs. You might develop exercise plans for people with a disability, people with health issues or people recovering from an injury. Exercise Physiologists may focus on developing fitness, coordination or muscle tone. You might assess progress and re-evaluate needs throughout an exercise program.

Exercise Physiologists should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to work with clients from various backgrounds. You’ll need to be good at communicating and able to listen to your clients’ concerns. Exercise Physiologists should be physically fit and able to demonstrate a range of exercise techniques. It’s important that you are organised and can manage your time well.
