  • Accredited Exercise Physiologist & Exercise Scientist

Zac was motivated to work in the field after gaining an interest in rehabilitation following personal injury and is dedicated to assisting others to achieve their rehab, health and performance goals.

    Zac spends most of his time with his wife Rachel, daughter Poppy, with baby number 2 on the way. When he does spend time away from the family he is typically on the golf course obsessing over lowering his handicap.
