Riley Taylor

Exercise Physiologist

​

Where did you study?

University of Wollongong (UOW)

​

What inspired you to become an exercise physiologist?

I have always enjoyed being active throughout my life, and have played or been involved in sport growing up. When it came to finding a career that I would enjoy, I wanted to be part of something that would allow me to use my passion for sport, movement and exercise to work with other people. Working in an industry that I enjoy and am naturally involved in allows me to get the best out of myself and better dedicate myself to helping others work towards their own health goals.

​

What are your areas of expertise and special interest?

Sports and Post surgical rehabilitation - I have experienced both of these areas personally, which has brought about my interest in both.

​

What's your favourite part of working with clients?

I love seeing the positive impact that personalised exercise programs can have on people's lives. Whether it’s helping someone improve their strength, manage pain, or achieve their fitness goals, I love being part of their journey and celebrating the small victories along the way. Every client is unique, and I truly enjoy the process of tailoring programs that meet their specific needs and challenges, while building trust and a supportive relationship throughout their progress.

​

What's one piece of advice you give to almost every client?

Something is always better than nothing!

​

How do you stay active and healthy in your own life?

I love the sport of AFL, and have played for many years, along with doing my own weight and gym training when I can. Balancing these can be hard at times, but I stick to the advice above!

​

What's something people might be surprised to learn about you?

While I may not be an expert, I have a deep passion for the world of coffee, especially the home barista experience.
