WHAT PEOPLE SAY

John, W

I have been working with Gav for the last year. The progress we have made has kept me going forward when I thought my running days were over. An absolute professional who makes it his business to know and understand you, thereby ensuring your training suits your needs. Would highly recommend Gav to anyone who is looking to make a difference in their life.

It taken me a while to find a specialist trainer who listens to what their clients needs are, and doesn't just copy and paste a program across their clientele. I really wanted my training to focus on improving my surfing and Gav took the time to research what I needed. He has delivered weekly sessions with lots of variety and explained why it was relevant to my sport. The bonus is he isn't just a normal PT, he is an exercise physiologist which gives me extra confidence in his programs. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend seeing him. His studio is spotless and well equipped.

I've been training with Gav for over 7 years and always feel motivated, encouraged and supported during and after our sessions. Gav has really helped me achieve my fitness goals and improve my technique, strength and health in my everyday life. Gav is the real deal so I highly recommend!!!

About Allied Active Exercise Physiology

Founded by Gavin Cooper, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and experienced Personal Trainer, Allied Active combines over 18 years of experience across hospital settings, private clinics, studios, and major gym networks. Gavin holds accreditation with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) and is registered with Medicare, DVA, WorkCover QLD, and private health insurers.

Experience You Can Trust

Gavin began his career as a Personal Trainer, running his own franchise within a large gym network for over seven years. This gave him a strong foundation in working with diverse client goals including weight loss, strength and hypertrophy, sports performance, boxing, HIIT, flexibility training, and myofascial release.

As he encountered more clients with complex medical conditions — such as diabetes, musculoskeletal injuries, and heart disease — Gavin pursued further study, completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology to provide safe and effective care for higher-needs clients.

Following his degree, Gavin worked at The Prince Charles Hospital in the Cardiac Science Unit, where he was involved in advanced cardiac diagnostics, stress testing, and monitoring. This experience has given him a deep understanding of heart conditions and safe exercise prescription in cardiac rehabilitation.

Expertise Across a Range of Conditions

Gavin’s passion lies in helping people improve their quality of life through personalised, evidence-based exercise. He has extensive experience supporting clients with:

Varying Disabilities (e.g., Autism, Mental Health, Developmental Disorders and Syndromes.
Chronic disease management (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological & mental health conditions)
Musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehabilitation (hip, knee, back, and shoulder)
Post-operative recovery

We also collaborate closely with GPs, specialists, and other allied health professionals to ensure your care is integrated and aligned with your medical needs.
