Izaac Hughes
Accredited Exercise Physiologist
Bio
I grew up in Newcastle where I had a very active upbringing playing multiple sports and always trying to keep up with my talented older brother in surfing & skating. I played soccer for 15+ years before making the transition to AFL in 2019. I commuted to Sydney from Newcastle for 2 years playing for Sydney University before being selected in the Sydney Swans reserve grade squad in the VFL competition, which led to my move to Sydney.
“Helping someone feel comfortable and confident so they can be consistent in their journey to bettering themselves is the most important thing for me.”
I became passionate about Exercise Physiology and using exercise as medicine after breaking my femur when I was 18 and going through my own rehab journey. Since then I have completed my Masters in Exercise Physiology and furthered my passion to help people along their journey to bettering themselves and working through any barriers that may be stopping them from achieving their goals.
I believe in creating a supportive and friendly environment for people in a setting that may be unfamiliar or daunting for a lot of people. Helping someone feel comfortable and confident so they can be consistent in their journey to bettering themselves is the most important thing for me.

Annie Crimmins
Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Registered Nurse
Bio
From an early age, Annie has loved sport. Highly competitive, she excelled in team sports and athletics at school, regularly competing at state and national level. It was her interest in sport and exercise which ultimately influenced her decision to pursue a career in health.
Having completed degree in Exercise Physiology and a Masters of Nursing (both at the University of Sydney), Annie has worked in healthcare for the past 6 years. Initially employed in occupational health as an Exercise Physiologist, Annie pivoted to hospital nursing, working in intensive care and cardiology.
“Annie’s goal is to combine the knowledge and skills from both disciplines to deliver tailored, holistic exercise interventions…”
Come full circle, Annie’s goal is to combine the knowledge and skills from both disciplines to deliver tailored, holistic exercise interventions which optimise health outcomes and keep people out of hospital. Her unique perspective of the healthcare system and understanding of acute and complex chronic conditions, passion for helping people, and personal commitment to meet client goals through harnessing the medicinal effects of exercise, put her in good stead to do just that.
Starting at Longevity Drummoyne, Annie grew up in Rozelle and is keen to make a difference in her local community. Her areas of interest include working with older clients, falls prevention, people living with disabilities, managing clients with cardiometabolic conditions as well as general strength and conditioning.
Witnessing the detrimental effects of hospitalisation firsthand, Annie has a strong value for primary prevention, and believes in giving people the tools to successfully self-manage their conditions. She believes that exercise is for everyone and participation in physical activity is key to living a long and happy life.
