The Athlete HQ

Fantastic experience: This is where you get the best of the best in the Physio world. All aspects are looked from Injury and rehab to everyday life. The team is above the rest and the atmosphere is A1

Fantastic experience: Fantastic training and encouragement even for someone like me who is a little unfit and uncoordinated. I felt a real improvement in just a few weeks. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Having torn my ACL playing footy, I didn’t know what to do luckily someone directed me towards The Athlete HQ and it has been the best decision for my recovery, they help you every step of the way with strength testing, running and much more. Plus you can’t beat the recovery room

Fantastic experience: Great place to go for any injures or recovery. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff that have all the tools that you need to get back out on the track. I strained my hamstring playing footy and they helped me get back to playing quicker than expected. Highly recommend choosing HQ

Fantastic experience: The people and staff at the AthleteHq are always so friendly and making going there enjoyable. Jon and his team are nothing but nice and always are around and help me out if i’m stuck with an excercise. Could not recommend the AthleteHq enough!!

Fantastic experience: The team at The Athlete HQ are dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate at what they do. It’s always a positive experience in the gym, the team ensures that you are educated and confident with the exercises and the space itself is equipped with everything you could need making it very convenient. Couldn’t recommend The Athlete HQ anymore!

Fantastic experience: Great people, high knowledge, high execution. Vibes are always up, always getting the best out of there athletes. Could not recommend more

Fantastic experience: Having torn my ACL playing sport, I didn't really know where to turn to. A friend directed me to The Athlete HQ and the experience has been nothing short of impeccable. Jon and the team provide great knowledge and attention to detail. They had provided me with a personalised program to aid me in preparation for my journey before surgery, and the rehabilitation required post surgery. 6 months into my ACLR and the results speak for themselves. Couldn't recommend The Athlete HQ enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for sessions since I fractured my foot and it is a great place to do some rehab and have a good time while recuperating. The trainers are great at their job as well as motivating you to keep going. They’re very friendly and it’s easy to get along with everyone there

Fantastic experience: Prior to doing my ACL, I really didn't enjoy going to the gym. However, after I joined the HQ and started my rehab, my views have seriously changed. Jon, Albert, Daniel and the team made every session enjoyable, and made even an amateur gym-user like myself feel comfortable. Their care was professional, thorough and compassionate, and my program was continually altered to suit my needs, capacities and lifestyle. Ultimately, I was back on the golf course earlier than expected and feel strong and healthy. I couldn't recommend the HQ anymore!

Fantastic experience: i’ve been with jon and the team for almost 3 years and can easily say that i’ve improved drastically since i first saw them. they are great guys who make rehab enjoyable and know how to make you stay positive during your rehab process.

Fantastic experience: Surrounded by great people and great vibes all around

Fantastic experience: Great people and coaches. Always friendly and there to support you when needed!

Fantastic experience: Top quality gym, lots of great people here with positive energy. Physios here are all professional and extremely caring to their athletes. Glad that I have been training here for a year now and the improvement is very obvious in terms of both performance and recovery. Should definitely check it out if you are looking for passionate and enthusiastic physios like The Athlete HQ

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about The Athletes HQ. Jon and his dedicated team of PTs/Physios have been instrumental in helping my daughter recover from her injury. They are always there to assist her during her workouts and provide necessary guidance. The gym environment itself is incredibly safe, which gives both my daughter and me peace of mind. It's also always immaculately clean, creating a pleasant and hygienic atmosphere. I am beyond grateful for the excellent care and support that this gym offers. Jon provided my daughter with a personalised exercise program tailored to her injury recovery. The dedicated team of PTs/Physios at the gym worked closely with her to create a program that addressed her specific needs. This unique approach ensured that she received the appropriate exercises and support to aid in her recovery journey. We truly appreciate the exceptional level of care and attention they provided to help her regain strength and mobility. It's evident that the gym's commitment to personalised programs sets them apart. Highly recommended for anyone seeking specialised injury recovery programs.

Fantastic experience: Jon, Albert and team go well and beyond to ensure I had the best possible rehab plan to help me recover from injury. The new gyn space is brilliant. Highly recommend The Athlete HQ.

Fantastic experience: They constantly work to help me achieve my goals and are a great team

Fantastic experience: Jon, Albert and the team were fantastic. They provided excellent service, advice and care when assessing my shoulder after dislocation and they provided a comprehensive rehab program to get me back playing sport.

Fantastic experience: Amazing team and facility, the best i’ve been to !

Fantastic experience: The trainers are top quality and get results on all different types of athletes in different sports. They’re personable and likeable and will help you succeed your goals. Jon the owner is committed in creating an environment for not only athletes but for people to thrive. I came in on my off season put in the work and had the best pre season I’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend the Strength & Rehab HQ any more. Amazing place

Fantastic experience: Very good strength and conditioning for basketball.

Fantastic experience: These guys are amazing - physios focussed on strength and injury recovery, not personal trainers. I started coming here after fracturing my ankle, and they've also helped me come back stronger from a lower back injury. No mirrors, no gym bros and a super friendly, supportive environment full of people of all sizes, shapes and abilities. I drive for an hour (each way!) to come here... they are *that* good at what they do. Will happily recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Best in the business for any rehab or strength and conditioning work.

Fantastic experience: I have known Jon for more than 4 years now. He is particularly helpful with sporting injuries. I have used other Physios in the past but Jon's way of analysing the injury is by far the best I have came across. I would highly recommend The Strength and Rehab HQ.

Fantastic experience: Jon is fantasic

Fantastic experience: Jon helped me with my shoulder and back pain. His approach to identifying and dealing with my pain was like no other specialist I had seen. Knowledge and professionalism is first class. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great experience at HQ I found there staff very helpful and a lot of experience and knowledge about what they do. Would highly recommend them

Fantastic experience: Jon and his team are really great at what they do. Attention to detail in terms of advice and took into account a lot of personal details that would affect my overall progress and followed up well with organising sessions. Nice and clean place which makes it feel more comfortable. Highly recommend coming here!

Fantastic experience: I Commenced with Strength & Rehab HQ to assist with an old injury and to increase my strength overall. At 51, I am still playing Netball, but was finding I struggled with a lack of power in my arms and overall body fatigue. Jon and his team have been wonderful - their knowledge and genuine interest in your personal goals and encouragement in your achievements means that I have remained focused and motivated to keep improving. As an added bonus, they also all have a sense of humor!! I couldn't be happier.

Fantastic experience: Found Jon and the team while stuck in local traffic. I've been looking for someone to help strengthen my lower back and legs after suffering many years from sporting injuries/wear and tear. I've used the standard physio, chiro practitioners and training methods for many years and felt like I've been going around in circles where Jon has put me onto a tailored training program with on going support and progression updates! Give them a go for a different approach!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Strength and Rehab HQ and Johnoel any more strongly. Last year I came off my bike and did some damage to my knee. After a month or two of no improvement I began thinking that lockdown will end, I’ll finally be allowed to go back to sport and my body wouldn’t let me. Thankfully I reached out to Johnoel, he saw me straight away and gave me a program that thankfully got me back to full mobility with no pain whatsoever. Don’t look anywhere else

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere,with the most helpful, friendly and informative staff. Always leave with a smile on my face and with a sense of accomplishment. Very happy to be a part of the HQ family.

Fantastic experience: The strength and rehab HQ is by far the best place in Melbourne for all your Physio needs, Jon’s educational approach towards strength and rehab has been vital to my recovery. As an athlete it’s important to me that I’m informed on my injuries and prevention the HQ way has provided me with the confidence too perform longer with minimising the risk of injury.

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending Strength & Rehab HQ for over a year, his goals were to increase strength, flexibility and agility for his representative sport- Basketball. As his training progressed, so have his results. His physical and personal goals have been achieved and new ones set with his trainers. The trainers have continued to support, guide and gently push him to achieve his goals. We have noticed that the conditioning and build up of strength has supported his body transitioning between the ‘on-off-on-off’ return to sport throughout the pandemic ensuring stability and injury prevention were a priority. His training has reflected positively on the court- with his particular program focusing on supporting the movements and skills required in his sport. The options are so versatile and support injury recovery, prevention, strength and conditioning and sport specific skills. We 100% recommend the opportunities presented at Strength and Rehab HQ!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending HQ for almost two years. Throughout my time Jon and his team have been extremely helpful and supportive in my recovery. They provide a professional and welcoming environment to train in. My 6 year old son has now joined and it’s his highlight of the week to go and learn new skills from Albert and Jon. Thank you HQ team keep doing what you do best!!

Fantastic experience: I came to the strength & rehab HQ a couple of years ago with severe muscle damage to my shoulders, being a cabinet maker by trade meant I was always doing heavy lifting, which caused a lot of issues. I'd been to a couple physiotherapists prior to meeting John but had stopped due to the costs, and due to not seeing the result I was needing in order to do my job effectively. Before meeting John I was barely able to put a bag containing my water bottle and deoderant on my back due to the immense pain I was in, but after two weeks of the hardest rehab I've ever put myself through, John's guidence, encouragement, and support paid off, and I was able to wear a bag normally, and even put a couple of power tools in there too. I've been seeing John regularly and strongly believe that his training regime, knowledge & experience make him an amazing physio who knows what he's on about. He listens to what your problem(s) is/are, makes adjustments when needed, and takes into consideration your beliefs and requests, and sees you more as a person who he wants to help, rather than a client he can make money off. I've recommended John to my partner for her physiotherapy post-knee reconstruction, and he helped her to get back to 100% in no time at all. Solid 10/10 effort from John, there's no one out there like him. Affordable, reliable, personable and professional.

Fantastic experience: Due to covid restrictions and working from home over the last 2 years,. I found myself dealing with cronic lower back pain which resulted in many sleepless nights. Everyday was becoming a struggling just to get moving. The team at HQ set out a plan to strengthen my core and overall health and wellbeing. After attending a few sessions I found my lower back pain was improving on a daily basis. But that was not all! Jon also derived a daily plan that I had to follow to ensure that I too made the changes to my daily routine to assist in my recovery. 2 months into my strengthening training, I no longer have sleepless nights and wake with a sore back. I no longer have to rely on medication to start and finish the day and to top it off I am getting stronger everyday. I couldn't recommend the team at HQ highly enough . Sonia x

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Strength & Rehab HQ! I went in with shin splints and have made massive improvements through the training I’ve been doing there and been provided with continual support throughout, the staff are all so friendly and extremely knowledgeable!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Jon out of desperation. I had gained weight again and i was really struggling with back pain and an inability to move. I am 10 weeks into my program, i have lost over 12kg and am moving the best I have in a decade. I also suffer for very little if any pain in my back. Could not recommend more. Not just a physio, but someone who genuinely cares about his clients.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility and hands down the best physio I have been to! Staff are dedicated in seeing you succeed.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and awesome studio, helped me recover from injuries during sport quicker and easier than I thought I could. I’m in better shape than ever because of the training here!

Fantastic experience: Much more than just physio-therapy, i feel well looked after here. Firstly, Jon ensures the HQ is clean, safe and tidy at all times, it's a comfortable environment to attend- the booking system is easy to use. He has a cool, calm and collected demeanour and he genuinely understands each of his clients and their varying needs/abilities. He is always attentive and attuned to our movements and needs (and follows up!) He emanates experience, is knowledgeable and informative without making anything complicated or daunting.

Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend The Strength & Rehab HQ. They’ve helped me work through injury, introduced me to weight training and helped with my sport performance. Jon and the team are great and they provide a welcoming and fun environment for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio! Jon and his team did a great job working on my shoulder and back injuries. With Jon’s instructions and rehab I managed to avoid a surgery! I would highly recommend! Very supportive and very professional!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and care. The leadership of Jon and his team makes the difference. The setup that HQ has, makes it so enjoyable to attend and do the work that needs to be done.

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to say! Since the first time walking into the Strength & Rehab HQ for my initial consultation with John he made sure I felt so comfortable and he was so professional with his approach that I have continued my physical exercise & strength training with him for the last 6 months! I had no idea of any form of exercise before joining and John has gone above and beyond to make it easier for me! Growing up in school I hated any physical type of sports and activities but John has changed my mindset and I have felt massive improvement in my physical strength. Being a hairdresser and on my feet all day John has taught me how to look after my body and the correct movements to ensure I’m not burning out so fast and I would just like to say a massive thankyou to John and his team! I have also been seeing Rachael the dietician for healthy eating options and she has been great and made it easier for me! If you haven’t already I definitely recommend you see John & his team so friendly yet so professional! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Jon to help me improve physically for the sports I was playing. Jon took the time to assess me individually and come up with a plan for us to work on. He made me feel so comfortable at HQ and helped me understand how to do everything correctly without feeling silly. I would highly recommend him to everybody!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaching and training by the HQ team. 100% recommend them, you couldn’t be in safer hands

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely studio. Very neat, compact and very tidy. Excellent facilities and qualified specialists to get the best out of your body and being the best version of you. Highly recommend Rachael, the dietician and John is also great.

Fantastic experience: The place to go for comprehensive rehab as well as strength and conditioning. Jon and the team took me from beginning to end of rehab in so diligently.

Fantastic experience: Awesome physio with a great setup. Really helped with rehab while strength training!!
