I'm Lucy and I'm one of the Exercise Physiologists working at Kilmore Wellness Centre and Thrive Gym in Wallan.

I witnessed firsthand how lifestyle modification can lead to a greater quality of life and provide you more time to do and spend time with those you love. My goal with every client, whether clinical or not, has been to support them through physical activity and education to achieve their healthiest and fullest lives.
