Our model is ongoing and weekly. Clients don’t attend for a short course of sessions — they attend because consistent, progressive exercise with the same exercise physiologist produces better long-term results. The longer we work together, the better we understand your body and the more we can achieve.
Exercise Physiologists Specialising in Older Adults and Seniors
Summit Health Group is not a general fitness centre. We are an allied health clinic with a specific focus on older adults, seniors and people living with conditions that affect movement, strength and independence. Our clients come to us managing osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, falls risk, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery and age-related deconditioning.
Every program begins with a thorough clinical assessment. Your accredited exercise physiologist reviews your health history, assesses how you move, identifies areas of weakness or compensation, and builds a progressive program tailored to your goals, your pace and your current physical capacity. You receive clear guidance at every session, with home exercise strategies to stay consistent between appointments.
For a full overview of how we support older adults, visit our exercise physiology for older adults Melbourne page.
We also support NDIS participants requiring capacity-building exercise physiology. Summit Health Group is a registered NDIS provider accepting plan-managed, self-managed and NDIA-managed participants at both clinic locations.
We provide specialist balance training for seniors across Melbourne at our Malvern and Blackburn clinics.

Why ongoing weekly programs produce better outcomes
A single block of sessions produces short-term relief. What produces lasting change is a weekly relationship with an exercise physiologist who knows your body, tracks your progress, and adjusts your program as your capacity grows.
This is the Summit Health Group model. Our clients don’t graduate out of their programs — they continue attending because the exercise itself is producing the outcomes they came for: stronger, more confident, more independent.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first session is a clinical assessment — not a gym induction. Your exercise physiologist reviews your medical history, assesses how you move, identifies areas of weakness or compensation, and builds a progressive program tailored to your goals and current physical capacity.
From there, sessions focus on building confidence, refining technique, and steadily improving your physical capacity over time. You receive clear guidance at every session, with consistent strategies to stay on track between appointments.
