Who Neil sees in clinic.
From injury rehab and chronic conditions to pre & post-natal training and elite performance — Neil works with private and Medicare chronic condition management clients, alongside GPs, surgeons and physios.
Rehabilitation
Post-surgical, post-injury and musculoskeletal recovery — knees, hips, shoulders, backs. Working alongside your surgeon, GP or physio to get you back to full function.
Pre & Post-Natal
Safe, evidence-based programming through pregnancy and back to full strength after birth. Pelvic floor, core, energy and confidence — supervised by an accredited specialist.
Chronic Conditions
Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer recovery, depression — exercise as medicine, with research-based protocols and ongoing review.
Sport Performance
Golf, tennis, surf and beyond. Sport-specific strength, mobility, power and injury prevention for athletes 40 to 80 — and competitive athletes of any age.
Personal Training (1:1)
University-qualified personal training in a fully equipped private studio. Body composition, strength and fitness — without the crowded-gym distractions.
Medicare & Private Health
Funded sessions accepted under Medicare chronic condition management referrals and Private Health rebates. Detailed reporting and clear communication with your GP, surgeon or treating team.

Two decades. Thousands of clients. One clinic.
Neil is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) and ESSA-registered practitioner who founded Atleta in 2006. For 20+ years he's worked with elite athletes, GPs, surgeons and rehab clients — including a stint as Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Parramatta Eels NRL and consulting for Weight Watchers Australia & New Zealand.
Today Neil runs a private clinic in Erina on the Central Coast, treating everything from post-op knees and pre/post-natal women to chronic conditions and competitive over-50s athletes. He previously served on the External Advisory Committee for the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at UTS, helping shape the next generation of practitioners.
