Zac Gonzalez

Zac’s journey began at a very young age, growing up being very physically active playing all forms of sport. Zac was undecided on what career path to go down, but he knew he loved to exercise and wanted to help others in some way or another so decided to study a Bachelor of Exercise Science. Towards the end of this degree Zac was lucky enough have a placement at Atkins Health as a student and that was where he completely fell in love with everything about Exercise Physiology, and being able to utilise exercise to help others. Zac then further progressed on to complete a Graduate Diploma of Exercise Physiology to officially become an Exercise Physiologist.  

 Zac takes great pride in working with all individuals and their conditions, however has a specific passion for working with individuals with neurological conditions, osteoporosis and musculoskeletal injuries. Zac prides himself on his abilities to build meaningful relationships with all his clients, and assisting others to achieve their goals by incorporating physical activity into their life. 

Along with his colleagues, Zac facilitates an exercise group class specifically created for individuals with osteoporosis, providing an evidence-based exercise program, and a supportive community for those attending.  

While Zac is very knowledgeable in the physical impacts of exercise, he is also passionate about the benefits of physical activity for mental health. Zac believes in treating the individual rather than their condition, and loves seeing his clients smash their physical and mental goals while incorporating exercise into their lifestyle.   

Zac’s hobbies include: 

• Going to the beach 
• Playing touch footy and basketball  
• Bike riding and skating  
• Discovering new and old music  
• Chasing the sunrise/sunset
