My mobility was low. Life was miserable, I can now walk again at home. I can stand at the bus stop by myself. It will help you gain your confidence and independence. It’s scary at the beginning but Laura is a professional.

Johnson Dang

I was suffering from back pain and shoulder mobility for 15 years. I was waking up to pain. After the first session I had more hope. I feel a lot better, it’s help to improve my mental outlook and mood. Things can improve even after 15 years.

Nerida Moar

Everything was heavy and slow. I was depressed. I can now move more freely. My confidence has grown enormously. My life has changed, I’m happy and doing things that I never that I would do.

Muhammad Noureddine

Life was kind of like a struggle. I was struggling to walk and my left arm and neck were very stiff. I couldn’t use my left arm. Now I can use both my hands. I can walk straight, balance, lift heavier weights. I feel like myself again.

Thanks An and team! Went from constant knee pain at walking and rest post a hyrox race; to now being pain free and back at training, smashing new PBs. Have even been able to increase my race mileage

I've had a really great experience training with Claren, and I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made so far. Since starting my sessions with him, I've noticed significant improvements in my strength, fitness, and overall confidence. Claren is an incredibly patient, supportive, and knowledgeable personal trainer who takes the time to understand your individual needs and goals. He always makes sure that I'm performing exercises correctly while encouraging me to push myself and improve with each session. What I appreciate most is his positive attitude and the way he makes every training session both enjoyable and challenging. I've learned so much from working with him, and I genuinely look forward to our sessions. I would highly recommend Claren to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional personal trainer who truly cares about helping his clients achieve their fitness goals.

Very happy with Clarens from Chronic Gains. The relaxed nature of the gym and Claren's easy-going personality makes the exercises easier to manage. He is great at pushing me to do my best, while listening to my concerns and adjusting exercises to better meet my needs. Happy customer. Michelle.

Ratnal is an exceptional exercise Physio. Really happy with her and the training program. Also Claren was good too when he took a few sessions over when Ratnal on leave.
J exercise physiology,ndis,bankstown,physio Joanna Nadia Maheswari
Highly recommend Chronic Gains! The whole team is amazing, welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely caring.

A special mention to Ratnal, my exercise physiologist, who has been supporting me throughout my recovery. She takes the time to listen, understands my limitations and tailors my exercises to suit my needs and progress. Her encouragement and understanding have made such a difference to my recovery journey.

Everyone at Chronic Gains has been wonderful, and it’s clear that the whole team genuinely cares about helping people achieve their goals and improve their wellbeing.

Thank you to Ratnal and the entire team for all your support. I highly recommend Chronic Gains to anyone looking for a caring, professional and supportive exercise physiology team!

I've had a great experience with Chronic Gains over the past few months while working on my left shoulder and right knee pain. An Ho has been fantastic — knowledgeable, supportive, and professional, with exercises tailored to my needs. Highly recommend An and Chronic Gains to anyone looking for an excellent exercise physiologist!

I’ve been working with Claren and Chronic Gains for a while now.

The shoulder rehab has really helped improve my shoulder function. Before, I struggled with everyday activities, but now I can get back to gardening, cleaning and cooking again. Really happy with the progress!

Minh has been training with Huynh for a while and is really satisfied. Huynh is extremely patient and always encourages me with each workout. The exercises Huynh gives are suitable for my strength level, not too heavy but still bring noticeable results. Huynh always carefully observes each movement to correct my form, helping me to train correctly and safely. Thanks to Huynh's dedication, I enjoy going to the gym every day and feel more confident about my body ❤️

I was injured at work last year which resulted in an overuse injury (tennis elbow for both arms). I was referred to Chronic Gains Bankstown after physiotherapy sessions to continue my treatment. Honestly I was hesitant to start as I had little hope my injury was going to get resolved but I am so glad I stuck by it.

My Exercise Physiologist Huynh is the best ♥️ She is so patient, knowledgeable and caring which made me feel at ease during our sessions. I have been going to see her twice a week for the past 4 months and I can now say I have no more pain in my elbows, I’m back at full injury duties and have gained more strength than I ever thought I would be able to.

Now I’ve graduated from EP but have gained so much from this experience to last me a lifetime. Thanks again Huynh and the team at Chronic Gains 🥰

Very good service.
D exercise physiology,ndis,bankstown,physio Duc Lam
An Ho and the team here at Chronic Gains have been amazing to deal with from Day 1. With concerns of my legs and other unaddressed injuries I have had in the past from sport, An was very thorough and informative throughout the entire process.

Notably I had a hamstring issue (borderline grade tear) that I never fixed 5-6 years ago and always had cold starts at my basketball games needing to do certain stretches and dedicated warm ups to rid of my discomfort. An miraculously fixed this issue in a matter of 2-3 weeks, I no longer had that discomfort and all of a sudden stretching was bearable and no cold starts/stiffness at the start of my games.

I can assure for any patient who is looking for someone who is passionate about their job, educates you above and beyond expectations - An is your guy. He is worth every dollar and I have been with him about 12 weeks. Not only is this designed to fix you, but with other goals I had in mind it was also designed to help me exceed my current limits.

Health is wealth and I cannot thank An and the team enough for everything they have done.

As someone who struggles with ASD and sticking to routine, I have ever thought I would be able to be consistent with my fitness (I've tried and failed numerous times, trust me.)

Laura has reshaped my entire relationship with exercise and the gym and I've never felt more motivated to keep on top of workouts and generally keeping active while also having fun. I've also struggled with change my whole life, but Ratnal has been an equally encouraging and mindful trainer who I felt just as comfortable with very quickly.

Chronic Gains has been a trustful, insightful, caring and considerate guide through my fitness journey and I couldn't recommend them more to anyone in the area who wants to overcome the obstacles preventing you from getting healthy.

The current system is flawed.
It doesn’t work.

• WHAT THEY DO

  • Rest and see how it goes
  • Needling without strengthening
  • Passive massage, no movement
  • Doing light band exercises with no progression
  • Treating the site, never the source

• THE CHRONIC GAINS WAY

  • Your body was built to move — we make it
  • Strength repairs what rest never can
  • Movement heals — stillness stalls
  • Full load. Full range. Full function.
  • We go to the root. Every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQS

Because what you’ve tried so far has been treating the site of the pain — not the source of it. Massage relaxes a muscle. Rest stops the aggravation. But neither one fixes why the pain keeps coming back.
At Chronic Gains, we look at how your entire muscular system is moving and loading. Pain in your knee might be caused by how your hip is functioning. Pain in your shoulder might start in your thoracic spine. We find that root — then we fix it with progressive strength and movement, not passive treatment.
That’s why people who’ve “tried everything” finally get results here.

At Chronic Gains, we offer both Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy, because different situations call for different approaches. A Physiotherapist is your go-to for hands-on treatment, acute injury care, and pain relief in the early stages. An Exercise Physiologist (EP) takes a longer-term, evidence-based approach, using structured exercise to build strength, mobility, and function over time.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, supporting an NDIS goal, or working on performance, we’ll help you figure out which service (or combination) fits your situation. You don’t need to work it out yourself before booking. That’s what the initial consult is for.

We’ll be upfront about pricing on the discovery call — it depends on what your situation needs and we won’t quote you something generic without understanding your case first.
What we will say is this: our clients have typically spent months or years on treatments that didn’t fix the root problem. When something actually works — permanently — it tends to pay for itself quickly. 250+ clients have found it worth it. We think you will too.

It’s a 15-minute conversation — no scripts, no sales pitch. You tell us what’s going on, how long it’s been happening, and what you’ve already tried. We ask the right questions and tell you exactly what we’d do to help.

If it’s a good fit and you want to move forward, the next step is an initial assessment at our gym in Bankstown. That’s where we do a full movement and strength assessment to build your programme from the ground up.

No referral needed. You can come straight to us. We also accept multiple funding types — WorkCover, CTP, NDIS, and Private Insurance. Or you can simply book and come in. Whatever works for you, we’ll make it work on our end.
