Accredited Exercise physiologists provide functional exercise for the purposes of returning an injured client where possible to pre-injury status. This includes specific exercise therapy related to the client's lifestyle demands, as exercise.
Fitness Testing (VO2 Test & Power Testing)
OXYGEN UPTAKE TESTING (VO2 Max or Submax) - When it comes to measuring your heart lung (cardio) fitness, Professional and Olympic athletes and their Coaches/Trainers have known for years the Gold standard is Gas exchange analysis which tells us how much oxygen your body is using. This information previously only available in Hospitals, Universities and Elite training facilities is now available at STEP BITE STEP. It is one of the most accurate tests available for giving individuals the best advice of what their training heart rate zones should be for weight management or for their competetive sport.
POWER TESTING - with the use of our Computrainer we offer MAP or FTP tests. These tests will help cyclists assess power output to evaluate the impact of your training programs, or to assist in the development of them.
General Dietary Advice
If you have a general idea of the foods you should be eating but still struggle with health concerns or goals related to your eating patterns the issue may not entirely be what you are eating, but why you choose to eat what you do and the amount. Until this is dealt with you may find it difficult to make long-term dietary changes. It is also for this reason that diets don’t work, diets only deal with what you are eating rather than the reasons why.
General Exercise Advice
We can help you with general exercise guidelines, but with the expertise to personalize it for you so you can regain or improve some of that lost function and fitness regardless of current age and in a way that suits your lifestyle.
Injury Rehabilitation
If you suffer from ongoing pain or dysfunction as a result of either acute (single event causes injury) or chronic (occurs over a long period of time) injury, exercise therapy directed by an Exercise Physiologist is for you.
Meal Replacements
Dietitians sometimes use meal replacements for valid reasons such as weight management, but their success is more likely when there’s close supervision and effective behavioural counselling on long-term diet, lifestyle, and food attitude issues. This is the critical area where retail purchased meal replacement programs can fall short in failing to assist you with YOUR personal behavioural challenges which have lead to why you are accessing meal replacements in the first place.
At STEP BITE STEP our Accredited Dietitian who has additional training in Health Coaching excels in assisting YOU with life long changes that mean life long success with weight management and no more YOYO fluctuations in your body shape and size.
Metabolism Testing
This is the Gold standard for accurately measuring your Metabolism to manage your calorie balance for weight loss, maintenance or gain. Previously only available in Hospitals or Universities STEP BITE STEP can now offer this service to you at a significantly lower cost than these facilities.
Personal Exercise Programs
If you need an exercise program you can do anywhere, anytime, without having to commit to seeing a personal trainer all the time our personalised exercise programming might be for you. Our Exercise Physiologist can design a home program using no equipment through to programs completed at a fully equipped local fitness centre or any setting in between.
Personal Training
Did you know only 25% of people who workout achieve their desired results - the reasons for this are endless. Some of the main reasons are the need for extra motivation and not being sure how to exercise safely or effectively. Did you know that 9 of 10 people in the 25% success group have their own professional personal trainer. It makes sense to have a professional to look after your car, teeth, finanaces - include your health by calling us.
All our sessions are conducted in a privately enclosed, air conditioned studio - not on an open gym floor, or in the park with other onlookers.

Having a special occasion to focus on is a great way to kickstart a new approach to balanced nutrition and activity habits. Making sure your dream becomes a reality for that special occassion is more likely with the assistance of our tertiary trained professionals with 20 years experience each, so call us today.

SpinScan (pedal stroke analysis for cyclists)
We now have available as part of our services Computrainer testing capabilities which allow us to perform detailed pedal stroke analysis. If you haven't had a SpinScan analysis, you're probably not pedalling in circles.
Spring into Spring
Do you want the body that has the look and capabilities you can't wait to show your friends, family and partner or your money back ? Then this 9 week program is just for you.
Weight Management
For the majority weight management is actually about trying to reduce body fat levels (probably better known as weight loss) for health reasons, such as to restore good health, self esteem (mental health) or other health reasons.
The basic principles of body fat manipulation will remain the same but because you are the only you, your behaviours and why they occur (a little more complex) are unique to you and therefore your road to success will not be the same as any magazine article about a celebrity and their body transformation.
Enter STEP BITE STEP Dietitian and Exercise consultants - put simply we assess and work with you to effect a life long change in habits that eventually does us out of a job except for the friends and family you then send us as a happy customer.
