Natalie Gale

Nat was instrumental in establishing Exercise Physiology at Aspire when we moved into our new Erina premises in 2022. She brings over 20 years of experience since graduating from University of NSW in 2004 with a Bachelor of Health and Sports Science with (Honours) and is both an Accredited Exercise Scientist and Accredited Exercise Physiologist.

Nat has always worked in private practice and developed both the professional and personal skills that ensure you will receive expert advice, support and motivation from a caring practitioner. Nat loves to help people achieve their goals, get back to what they love and live life without worrying about getting injured or believing they just cannot do certain things anymore. If you want to do something, Nat will work with you to find a way.

Nat’s favourite part of her role is the variety of clients that walk through the door. Everyone’s story is different, and she loves to hear what makes you, YOU, and what she can do to help you. As well as keeping people moving freely as they get older, Nat also loves getting athletes back on the field and has helped many patients following knee ACL reconstruction successfully return to their chosen sport. Nat also loves helping someone become healthier whilst living with a chronic health condition, so that life remains rich, meaningful and active.

Born on the Central Coast, Nat went to Gosford High School and returned here once she graduated from university. Nat loves to tell stories about her two daughters and very large Great Dane. Nat describes herself as “having the mind of an athlete but not necessarily the body of one”. Through her time playing sports including rep netball, grade soccer, and many other team sports as well as road cycling and running, Nat has endured more than her share of injury. Nat lives freely and actively with a chronic worn out knee and after an unlucky ruptured Achilles in 2022, she definitely understands being both a patient and practitioner, even at the same time! Nat practices what she preaches and works out at the gym most days of the week and lives the healthy life that she promotes.

If you want someone that will listen, cheer you on and help you on your journey using exercise as therapy, then Nat is the perfect fit to either get you back to your best, or keep you there. We’re lucky to have her on our team, and so are you.
