Summary
Ziathlon is hiring an Exercise Physiologist to own assessment, prescription, and monitoring across the full client spectrum — weight loss, diabetes, cardiac rehabilitation, and athletic injury/return-to-play. This is a testing-led, data-driven role: every prescription originates from objective assessment, not assumption. Reports to the Medical Director.
Responsibilities
- Conduct exercise testing and functional assessments: VO2 max, lactate threshold, heart rate variability, movement/form screening, and other performance/health diagnostics as required by client track
- Translate test data into individualized exercise prescriptions across four populations: metabolic (weight loss/diabetes), cardiac rehab, and performance/return-to-injury athletes
- Run periodic re-assessments to track progress and adjust prescriptions
- Conduct form correction and corrective exercise programming for injured or returning athletes
- Collaborate with Performance/Metabolic Nutrition, Physiotherapy, and Sports Psychology to keep programs cross-functionally aligned
- Document all assessments and prescriptions in Eka Care per clinical protocol
- Flag any cardiac or medical red flags from testing data to the Medical Director immediately
Requirements
- M.Sc. in Exercise Physiology, OR M.Sc. in Sports Science with a recognized certification (ACSM-CEP, CSCS, or equivalent)
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with VO2 max, lactate threshold, and HRV testing protocols and equipment
- Working knowledge of cardiac rehabilitation exercise guidelines (non-negotiable given client base)
- Strong assessment-to-prescription clinical reasoning — this is not a generic trainer role
- Comfortable working across a wide population range in a single day (a 60-year-old diabetic client and a competitive athlete, same shift)
