About Me
Hi there,
I’m Jodie Hopkins
B.Sc. AEP, CES.
Your happy, informative Exercise Physiologist. Here to help you feel your best. Amazon Author & Radio-6PR Regular Guest Speaker. World traveller, adrenaline junkie, and lover of the outdoors.
I have been helping people to look, move and feel better for 3 decades through Exercise Physiology and my enthusiastic support. I love teaching you how to train smarter not harder, making things appropriate for you, and using the feedback from your own body.
I’m an Amazon published author and have earned a regular segment spot in Perth’s 6PR Radio Talk-back on exercise, nutrition, health and rehabilitation. I have also written articles for magazines and newspapers such as Women’s Health Magazine and the West Australian, and have presented at workshops and conferences. I lived overseas for 16 years, and have done adventure races, Busselton Ironman, summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, and trekked to Mt. Everest Basecamp.
Using corrective exercise and health management strategies, I help people to feel better and to move with more ease, strength and freedom. I love to make workout sessions fun, and like to explain things so you can easily relate and understand.

“Jodie’s exercise program has been hugely helpful in getting my shoulders back in good working order, and staying pain free after injury and persistent bursitis. After a thorough assessment, she’s taught me a range of exercises tailored specifically to what I need and what I feel comfortable doing. She’s provided a great printout of all my exercises which gives me clear information on how to do them properly, with plenty of variety so that I can’t blame boring as a reason for not doing! I particularly appreciate her regular reminder to not beat myself up if I don’t do all of them every week! I can see and feel significant improvement in my range of movement, and with increasing muscle strength, I now hope to avoid further injury in the garden again!”
