Our Exercise Lifestyle Clinic and Exercise and Sports Science programs provide specialised exercise interventions for people with a range of goals and health presentations.

The Exercise Lifestyle Clinic provides interventions for those people who have, or who are at a high risk of developing, chronic and complex medical conditions and injuries. Through ACU's Exercise and Sports Science programs, we also provide interventions for athletes and apparently healthy populations.

The Exercise Lifestyle Clinic is a student-teaching clinic and provides placement opportunities for ACU students studying a Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology and Bachelor of Sports and Exercise Science, with real-world practical experience.

The clinic is operated by our experienced and dedicated Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP's) who also provide high quality education and supervision to students on placement in the ELC.

Our programs

ACU ELC Strathfield program

General groups

Anyone can attend our general group classes. After a one-on-one assessment, you will be prescribed a personalised goal-based program, which you can follow at your own time. The group is closely supervised by accredited exercise physiologists and student practitioners.

Neurological disease group

Our neurological group classes are small and offer specialised support to patients with mixed neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and stroke. You will follow your own individualised program with assistance from staff and students. This group is closely supervised by accredited exercise physiologists and student practitioners.

Parkinson's group

This group is specifically designed for older adults with Parkinson's disease who are ambulant in the community. It involves strength exercises alongside aerobic, balance and mobility training.

The class starts with a high-energy group warm-up and you will then move through exercise stations tailored to your needs. The group is closely supervised to ensure that everyone works within their limits.

Balance group

These classes target clients who require falls prevention and reduction intervention. This small group is designed to be fun, interactive and engaging while challenging multiple aspects of balance including dual-tasking. The group is closely supervised to ensure that everyone works within their limits.
