Atkins Health

I've seen a number of practitioners over the years (Chiro, Physio, Acupuncture) to try and deal with issues with my spine and joints and also lose weight. I finally lucked out when I was referred to Atkins Health and met Zac Gonzalez. I didn't know about Exercise Physiology at that time but I now realise it's the missing link we've all been looking for to reach our health goals, prevent disease and stay strong as we age. He and the team who run the various classes at Atkins Health are such knowledgeable professionals who really know their stuff and I feel so safe in their care. I can't believe the progress I've made, how much less pain I'm in and how fit and healthy I feel. I actually look forward to attending the classes and I've made so many lovely new friends. I can't recommend Zac and the team at Atkins enough - if I could give ten stars I would!

This is my first time going to a gym and I have found the staff very helpful and friendly! They know how to make you feel comfortable and make sure you are not overdoing your workout.

Have recently had spinal chord surgery that effectively left me unable to walk. As a result of a thorough review of my circumstances Toby was able to set a plan of rehabilitation with clear achievable goals. The result is that I continue to improve. I have great confidence in the Atkins methodology. Thanks Toby Atkins.

I have had an exceptional experience with Atkins health practitioner Lorenzo. I attend Hype health club in Pimpama and when I noticed reoccurring hip pain I asked for a recommendation for a physio. The staff lead me to Lorenzo. We started with a brief chat on the phone to ensure that it would be the right path for me to take and then we started appointments which were at the gym. We developed personalised goals and exercises and worked 1:1 to achieve these. In the short 3 months I have been working with Lorenzo, I have seen a lot of change and my pain pretty much disappear. I am also smashing my goals!!!! Lorenzo is supportive, very understanding of the busy mum lifestyle, encouraging and above all goes out of his way to ensure that the best form and technique is executed to give the best results and achieve your goals. I am so glad I was recommended to see Lorenzo, it has only ever been such a positive experience and I’m looking forward to continuing my health journey with Lorenzo’s help, support and expertise.

I have been a client of Atkins Health on and off for many years. They are absolutely the best exercise physiologists I have found on the Gold Coast. I attend the Varsity Lakes location (Temple Gym) and love the friendly atmosphere there. Max, Ben, Carlo, and Josh know everyone's names and always greet you with a friendly hello.I have sessions with Ben and Josh a couple times a week. They are both fantastic. They have really improved my balance, strength and flexibility in a very short period of time. The guys have great clinical knowledge and always adjust my training to suit whatever aches and pains I have on the day. With a chronic health condition, there are days I don't feel like going...but I always do because I know I will walk out feeling great.I feel so privileged to have Ben & Josh as part of my healthcare team. Thanks guys.

I love the reformer Pilates here. It’s helped so much with increased mobility and core strength. Always happy on Pilates days.

Atkins Health is an Allied health clinic dedicated to client goal and improved quality of life. Whatever your condition is or even just want health improvement goals. They are the ones you contact. 5 stars all around.Great service and results.

Thank you so much to the team at Atkins Health for helping me navigate through the changes in my body.I'd always told myself that I hated exercise.I don't like feeling sweaty, and just really thought I had better things to do with my time...Then the realisation that I am hurtling toward middle age and what I thought was my metabolism slowing down hit me.Working with Hannah is so much more than exercise!She actually listens.It doesn't feel like 'exercise'.There are no burpees or running in my program, because I told Hannah how much I dislike them. No-one has ever listened and created a program specifically for me before.Hannah has taken real ownership of my health.She's even sent my G.P reports with my progress, who has taken bloods to keep an eye on my hormone levels (Yes, I am a woman of 'that' age!)I am just so grateful, and blown away that Medicare even helps toward my costs.I never knew this help was out there, and wouldn't have had I not stumbled across Atkins HealthNo more wasting money on gym memberships I won't use, or temptation to overspend with a PT.An EP is the way forward!Thanks you so much Hannah & the entire team at Atkins!I am finally staring to look and feel like me again,My husband is delighted that I am almost bikini ready for the 1st time in almost 5 years!OUTSTANDING RESULTS !

I can’t recommend Atkins Health enough! I have been attending the Pilates reformer classes with Nicole, and absolutely love it. Nicole is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, and I’ve raved so much about her classes my sisters even attend the Pilates classes now too!

I chose Atkins Health at Runaway Bay to help me turn my health and fitness around. And what an amazing 8 weeks it has been with their program and ongoing support and encouragement. And it has not just been limited to exercises, but looking at lifestyle modifications overall. There have been some really positive health results for me when we looked at my progress today:~ I have lost over 4 kg in weight~ I have lost a total of 10 cm from both hip & waist measurements~ I am averaging around 13,000 steps walked daily~ I am performing 150+ mins/week of moderate to high intensity exercise~ I work out in the gym at home 4-5 days per week a half hour~ I am taking the fire stairs at home more often instead of the lift~ I feel I have increased my exercise tolerance and better lung function~ My blood glucose level is normal at my review with you this week~ My blood pressure is back within normal range today - diastolic of 80 mmHg~ I am showing improved stability through my knees and hips~ I am eating healthier food – heaps more salad and vegetables~ I have increased water intake~ I am sleeping better~ There is an overall improvement in my general feeling of health.This is a huge transformation from where I was a few months ago when I had the exercise tolerance of a sloth. I was engaging in very little activity, I was quite sedentary, and I certainly didn't have the best fluid and food intake. And now that I have the necessary skills and education, I am looking forward to being even trimmer and fitter for when I go on holiday in March 2020.I can’t recommend the staff, programs, and gym facilities at Atkins Health highly enough. They are a great team to work with for someone who desperately needed to get themselves back into shape, on the road to a healthy lifestyle, and reduce their risk factors for diabetes and heart disease. All the staff at Atkins Health are so personable and professional. It really has been a pleasure seeing them on a regular basis as they guided me back towards healthier lifestyle practices.
