Siobhan Coghlan

Exercise Physiologist

I moved to Port when I was 8, so I have basically grown up here. I love that I live so close to amazing beaches, and can enjoy a swim whenever I feel like it! I grew up racing motocross at a State and National level, and started to train at a gym when I was 15, so I have always been interested in, and enjoyed fitness. I stopped racing motocross when I started university, and found a new passion for Crossfit, and this is now my “thing”. I studied my two degrees through Charles Sturt University – Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science and Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology.

What do you love most about your job/industry?

I love helping clients improve their relationship with exercise and movement, and helping them to understand that their condition/illness or injury can be managed and supported with help from an Exercise Physiologist. As this industry that I am so fortunate to work within, research and guidelines are always evolving, and so there is always something interesting for me to read about, or follow up on, as a refresher. I am always learning, and this is something I find really cool!

Areas of interest?

Mental Health, Sporting injuries, Pilates, Strength and Resistance training, chronic disease management.

People would be surprised if they knew…

I LOVE reading books, especially about medical stories and experiences written by Doctor’s, Nurses, and even funeral home directors! I have read books about what it was like working in a funeral home in the 70s, a Doctor’s chronicles of his time as a student and the 20 years following, and first-hand stories about the ER department of a hospital and all the crazy things Nurses and Doctors see and deal with!
