Lucy Bittendorfer is an Exercise Physiologist based in St Leonards, NSW. She works out of SE 1-3 7 Westbourne St, St Leonards NSW 2065.
Lucy helps people feel more confident with movement and build safer exercise habits that fit real life. That can be about starting from scratch, getting back into routine after time off, or making changes when your body and energy levels have other ideas. In many cases, the focus is on improving fitness, strength, and everyday function, so exercise feels doable rather than overwhelming.
Her work includes exercise program development, physical activity counselling, fitness assessment, and exercise prescription. Sessions often bring together practical goal-setting and simple next steps you can actually follow. Lucy also offers health coaching, which can be useful when you want to keep going at home, not just on the day you see a clinician.
Over time, people come in with all kinds of starting points. Some want help with general health and weight goals. Others are looking for a more structured approach to manage symptoms like low fitness, limited mobility, or pain flare-ups. At times, it’s about learning how to pace yourself, choose the right types of activity, and build up slowly so you don’t feel stuck or get discouraged.
Lucy’s training is in exercise physiology, and her approach stays grounded and practical. Education and other details like research or clinical trials are not listed here, so they aren’t included. What you can expect, though, is a clear plan, regular check-ins, and support around how to keep exercise realistic and safe for your situation.
