Frank Coluccio

PERSONAL TRAINER

Hi there. I`m Frank. I am an Accredited Exercise Physiologist/Scientist and Personal Trainer. I have been in the Allied Health and Fitness industry for over 40 years. Beginning with Orthotics and Prosthetics for 18 years, returning to full time uni as a mature age student to complete undergraduate and post graduate studies to follow my passion for health and fitness. I loved to be active as a kid and enjoyed Little Athletics as a 10 year old at Edwardes Lake track in Reservoir where I still run around 50 years later reminiscing about how I could have become an Olympic Champion and smash the 9 sec mark in the 100m sprint (or perhaps not). Since then I have played too many sports to remember and loved every minute of it and have not stopped being active to this day. I finally wanted to follow my passion for exercise in a formal way by making it my profession. I wanted to inspire others to live an active life, reach their fitness goals, and remain fit and healthy and lead a better quality of life. After uni and qualified as an Exercise Physiologist in 2006, I worked in the corporate industry such as a Rehab Consultant and Injury Management Advisor; Hospital rehab and Community Health clinics with Physiotherapists, and Aged Care Assessor with City of Darebin for 14 years. During this time I had owned and operated my own side hustle in my Exercise Physiology practice including Personal Training and government funded programs such as Medicare, and NDIS. And even a stint in the Australian Army where I trained and qualified as a Medic. I am now privileged to be operating in my own community, out of Fitness Nation, Preston where I can support and collaborate with those who have a desire for optimal health and fitness.
