Why exercise physiologists are NOT personal trainers

An accredited exercise physiologist (AEP) is an allied health professional with extensive training in understanding the body’s response to exercise, although people still confuse them with personal trainers. There really is no comparison because fitness professionals work in the sport and recreation sector, whereas AEPs work in the health sector and have wide-ranging qualifications and training.

What People Say About Us

You both are a breath of fresh air

Deb called me yesterday. She could not stop telling me how brilliant you both were. Nate loves working with you both. He looks forward to your visits and gets so much out of them. He has already getting better at so many things and this is from two visits only. She mentioned your approach is very different to what Nate has had in the past. Your ideas are fresh, age appropriate and easy to follow. You both are a breath of fresh air. I had to pass this on as I have not heard Deb speak about anyone like this. She was so excited for Nate’s future.

Rachel has been a pleasure to work with

Firstly, I would like to sincerely thank you for linking me with Rachel! As support coordinators, my colleagues and I have linked several participants with her and we received fantastic feedback from every single one of them! So much so that the participants asked us to pass this feedback on to Rachel’s manager. I would also like to highlight that Rachel has been a pleasure to work with and we at Wise Choice IHC sincerely appreciate her genuine commitment and work ethic. We look forward to continue working with Rachel and AAA, and will definitely be referring more participants in the near future.

I love NDIS
