Meet the Team
Megan Reyden
Co-Founder of Optimize Health, Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist (MSc, RECEP-ACSM & CEPNZ)
I like to have a lot of fun with my clients while working hard and achieving specific goals. My scientific background and extensive studies have helped form my training philosophy. I believe that exercise prescription should be evidence-based and training should be personalised and focus on individual requirements and goals.
My postgraduate and Masters qualifications focused on exercise rehabilitation, specifically in older adults with and without various chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, cancer, and diabetes. I am very passionate about the role of exercise in preventive health, improving cardiorespiratory fitness, weight loss, and an overall (holistic) approach to improving quality of life.
Catherine Moss

I am passionate about all aspects of exercise and truly believe that every individual can benefit from exercise and improve their quality of life. I think it is important to provide evidence-based programming in a fun and safe environment. I have studied and worked in the industry for over a decade including; corporate health, high performance training with athletes, youth performance, injury prevention and have a passion for exercise rehabilitation for those with chronic diseases. I have a clinical interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and exercise rehabilitation for metabolic conditions and I am a firm believer that exercise is medicine. I look forward to working with you and reaching your goals.

This assessment provides valuable information on an individual's cardiovascular function during exercise . Electrocardiography (ECG), blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation are monitored throughout incremental exercise. These measures improve the understanding of physiological function, allowing optimal prescription and safety during future exercise.
