ABOUT ME.

Hi, I’m Nick Hughes, a Senior Exercise Physiologist and Nutritionist in Brisbane. I graduated from the University of Queensland in 2021 with a Bachelor of Clinic Exercise Physiology (Honours). I provide in-person appointments at my Toowong clinic, as well as at-home visits and hydrotherapy sessions. I also provide online consultations and programming for clients who are remote or prefer a virtual platform. I work with a range of clients including DVA, NDIS, WorkCover, Medicare, weekend warriors & your everyday Joe.

Fitness has always been a passion of mine, from playing rugby and other sports growing up to staying active through running, surfing, and hitting the gym.

I believe that feeling your best is the key to living life to the fullest. My approach focuses on creating individually tailored, evidence-based plans to help you reach your potential—whether it's improving performance, managing health, or simply feeling better each day.

Let's work together to unlock the best version of yourself and make your fitness or recovery journey something you’re inspired by!
