One team for physio, rehab and strength training
Adapt is a physiotherapy clinic and strength gym in North Sydney where physiotherapists and strength coaches work from the same floor. You can start with an injury, a rehab plan or a training goal, and the people who assess you and the people who coach you work from one plan, so the program carries on in the gym after your appointments.
Physio and training under one plan
Adapt runs a physiotherapy clinic and a strength gym as one business. When your physiotherapist and your coach share the floor, a rehab program can move into supervised gym sessions, and a training plan can change as soon as a niggle needs a clinical look.
Three ways to start at Adapt
Each one begins with a conversation about where you are now and what you want to do next.
Gym and training
A strength gym with coached personal training and small group classes, for people who want to train with direction.
Physiotherapy
Registered physiotherapists who assess and treat, then build a strength program you can take onto the gym floor.
Gym-based physio
Rehab that moves into supervised gym sessions between reviews with your physiotherapist.
The people who run Adapt
Three directors run Adapt day to day, across physiotherapy, training and clinical delivery: Sam Baylis, James Bowen and Carla Sullivan-Myers.

Progress you can see at each review
Physiotherapy reviews can include VALD strength testing when a measurement will help, and your program lives in the Adapt app, so you, your physiotherapist and your coach work from the same record.
How we test strength
Can I use more than one service at Adapt?
Yes. You can see a physiotherapist, train in the gym and book personal training at the same time. Your physiotherapist can share training guidance with your coach so the work fits together. Each service is booked and paid for separately.

Questions about Adapt
Book an appointmentWhat should I bring to my first visit?
Bring any referral letter, scan reports or a list of medicines if you have them, and wear clothes you can move in. If you plan to claim extras on a physiotherapy consult, bring your fund card so the team can check cover at reception.
Can I train at Adapt without seeing a physio?
Yes. You can join the gym, book personal training or join small group classes on their own. Current gym options are listed on the gym membership page.
Is Adapt the same business as Adapt Health and Performance?
Yes. Adapt Health and Performance is the full business name, and Adapt is the public brand. Both adapthealthperformance.com and adapthealth.io belong to the same team at the same North Sydney site.
Who will I see at my first visit?
It depends on what you book. A registered physiotherapist sees you for physiotherapy or gym-based physiotherapy. A coach sees you for personal training or classes. The team page lists who works here and what they do.
How do I choose between physio and gym-based physio?
Book a physiotherapy appointment for a new injury or a check that needs assessment and treatment. Gym-based physiotherapy adds supervised gym sessions between reviews with the same physiotherapist. Your physiotherapist can advise which fits at the first appointment.
Do you work with GPs and surgeons?
Yes. GPs and surgeons can send details and any protocol through the referral page. You can also book physiotherapy directly, because no referral is needed to start.
Ask us before you start
Tell us what you are working on and the team will suggest the right first appointment or session.
Registered physiotherapists
Sam Baylis and John MacAuliffe are registered with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia, and you can look up their details on the public register.
