A Bit About Sam

Sam grew up in Newcastle and loves spending her time either studying for Uni, at the gym, with her friends, and when she can, she loves to travel the world.

Sport and Hobbies

Growing up, Sam hated sport and did everything she could to get out of PE class. However, she’s always loved to dance and has probably done every dance genre there is growing up. From Physical Culture or ‘Physie’ as most people know it, to Jazz, Hip Hop, Cheerleading, Gymnastics, Aerobics, Pole Dancing, Aerials, Tap dancing, and Ballet. Now, she mainly just shows off her moves on the odd occasion on the dance floor.

However, Sam has now done a complete 180’. She loves sport and keeping physically active wherever she can. She loves the gym and weightlifting, and if she’s not at Next Gen Physio greeting you with a smile, you can probably find her at the gym. Along with her love for the gym, she is also addicted to buying new active wear, in order to help fuel her workouts.

Sam’s travel bucket list is very long and never ending. She would love to have a European summer one day, absorbing the sun and eating her way through each country.

Career

After working in the Fashion industry for many years, Sam had a change of career path and is currently studying a Bachelor of Exercise Sports Science / Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of New South Wales.

She is very passionate about all thing’s health and fitness, and helping people through exercise. This has led her to studying her degree and working here with the team at Next Gen Physio as a Receptionist. She hopes to one day be an accredited Exercise Physiologist, Sports Scientist and work in a clinical setting, possibly even at Next Gen one day!
