Melbourne Sports & Allied Health Clinic

Simon was very knowledgeable and made the VO2max test very easy to understand, as well as providing important feedback from my DEXA scan. I’d recommend Simon (and Tony at BodyDEXA Fit) to anyone interested in proactively analysing their current health and fitness levels, as well as getting clear training protocols for continued improvement.

Fantastic experience. Initial consultation was very informative and helpful. Following the consultation I booked in to conduct a VO2 Max and Lactate Threshold test and when I arrived on the incorrect day Simon was luckily able to accomodate and despite a busy schedule quickly conduct the testing and send the results within days. 10/10.

If you’re serious about living the best and longest life you can, Simon Sostaric is one of the best professionals to help you reach that goal. Years of top level training have equipped him with the knowledge and skills to guide you to your goals, no matter where you currently sit on the health scale. Simon is extremely easy to work with and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Simon was a complete professional throughout the duration of our consultations. He helped me work through fatigue issues which propelled me on to achieve my goals. Highly recommend his services for anybody looking to take their physical well-being to the next level.

Big thanks to Matt who helped me regain my confidence after a pretty big ankle injury. Matt had me back on the soccer field after a month and in top condition. Very grateful for his patience and ability to have me prepared both mentally and physically. Cheers Matt!

Grateful for both Matt and Simon for getting me back to running after a few issues. The team is thorough with their care and I only had positive outcomes.

Cannot recommend Simon and Matthew enough done a great job taking my V02 max test in order to help me better understand my current fitness capacity and get the edge over my competition with a comprehensive review of the details involved with my lactate threshold pace and much more 10/10

Simon listened to what I was hoping to achieve and gave me a terrific insight what I need to do to improve my overall health. Thanks Simon and I look forward to monitoring my improvement over time.

Dr Simon Sostaric has been a fantastic trainer and physiologist for myself since 2016 when I moved into single seater racing. He has helped my physical progression tremendously in terms of very thorough and precise training programs tailored to my needs. He has also provided muscle activation warm up exercises, scientifically proven heat-combative techniques during race weekends, and a range of tests at the race track to monitor my physical state, in order to allow me to perform at my best. He has been a massive help in my career, and i wouldn’t be where I am today without his help. It is about the 1 percenters, as Simon always says. “

With years of continual problems after two surgeries it was great to find someone who has finally helped me. Simon has designed exercises for me that have really helped. Highly recommend!

I am so happy I found Simon. He is very knowledgeable and thorough in his approach. His assessments are comprehensive. I really feel that he considers my overall wellbeing, not just my exercise needs. I highly recommend him.

I have been attending Melbourne Sports clinic for quite a few years and have found that Simons knowledge putting together an up to date exercise regime for me invaluable! Simon keeps me on track.staying fit & healthy.

From the first consultation, Simon knew exactly what my problems were. After just over 12 months of constant rehab and strengthening my glutes, hamstrings and calves, I am walking better than I have in a long time. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone who needs expert help.

As a later age man recovering from prostate cancer Simon has been extremely helpful in getting me into a regular fitness regime including resistance and fitness training at a gym. I never thought at 70 that I could improve myself in this way but Simon has provided me with the tools to enjoy getting fit again.

Simon has given me some great suggestions for exercises and tips on improving my running technique.

After finding Simon due to an injury he has become my ‘go to’ regarding health and fitness. His knowledge is second to none and he is currently setting me on a pathway of good habits, health and fitness beneficial to me as I enter the second half of my life. A real gentleman and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Simon to anyone.

Very fortunate to hear from Dr Simon Sostaric at the recent Sports & Exercise Medicine Students' Association (SEMSA) Conference - amazing speaker with a wealth of knowledge! Many thanks Simon

Simon has been very helpful in identifying and planning for the rehabilitation of my daughter’s sports injury. His methods are scientific and he is an excellent communicator.

I am so grateful to Simon for not immediately placing me [as others have - all my life] in his 'too hard basket' [due to my significant physical disability] the day I presented myself off the street, to his Clinic! In fact, I learned very quickly, Simon does not even have a 'too hard basket'. For anyone!
In four (4) months of attending the Melbourne Sports & Allied Health Clinic, my physical strength; overall fitness; activities of daily living functionality and, my mental health - have all improved beyond what I even thought would be possible!
I'm not stopping my attendance at the Clinic any time soon!

Simon from Melbourne Sports and Allied Health Clinic was really helpful with my VO2 max test on the treadmill. He not only explained everything, he answered each and every one of the questions I had along the way and about my results, the equipment, training zones, my goals and what my body was capable of.

Simon explained to me that VO2max is not only an important contributor to fitness, but also a very strong predictor of health risk and longevity.
An increase in VO2max is key to reducing risk of developing metabolic and cardiovascular disease.

His scientific and analytic approach works for me and I highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their performance or simply need a booster to their confidence to keep improving their fitness.
