EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS BRISBANE

Tom Haynes

Tom is our senior exercise physiologist. He consults face to face in Brisbane, and with athletes across the world over zoom.

Originally a competitive swimmer, Tom’s passion for barbell training and strength sports began in high school. Over the years, he’s competed in strongman competitions, however he quickly realised he was much better at helping athletes than being an athlete himself.

Chris Anastasiou

Chris is an experienced exercise physiologist who consults clients both face to face in Brisbane and across the world over zoom. 

With a decorated history playing representative rugby union and league throughout high school, Chris’ interest in strength training grew over the years. Chris has been a competitive powerlifter since 2018 and has competed at multiple competitions. 

Having his fair share of injuries, Chris has developed a deep understanding for solving musculoskeletal problems through the whole body. Combining evidence based practice and lateral thinking, chris has been able to help athletes become pain free while improving their performance without taking them away from training. 

Chris has completed his masters of exercise science (Strength and conditioning) at Edith Cowan University, so he is our specialist in helping team sport athletes return to play with any injury helping them from acute rehab through to return to running. Since moving to Brisbane in 2022, Chris has been working heavily with barbell athletes returning to the platform or getting back into the gym with minimal interruption to training. 

Chris also offers 1-on-1 biomechanics mentoring, and S&C (Strength and Conditioning) mentoring.
