MEET FOUNDER
LOUIS MANIAKAS
Before founding Evidence Based Motion, I competed as a football athlete in the NSW Premier League system. That experience shaped my understanding of preparation, consistency and the demands that training places on the body.
​
Injuries and periods of overtraining prompted me to look more closely at how the body adapts to exercise. I wanted to understand how training, recovery and thoughtful programming could work together to support lasting progress.
​
That interest led me to complete a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Technology Sydney and become an ESSA Accredited Exercise Scientist.
​
Today, I bring that education and sporting experience to clients with a wide range of goals and training backgrounds. My role is to make exercise understandable, purposeful and achievable for the person in front of me.

A PERSONAL APPROACH TO YOUR TRAINING
Effective coaching starts with understanding you.
​
We consider your goals, health history, training experience, schedule and available space before developing your program.
​
Where appropriate, assessments and structured re-testing help us establish your starting point and review your progress.
​
Depending on your needs, training may focus on:
-
Building strength and maintaining muscle.
-
Improving mobility, balance and movement confidence.
-
Developing cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
-
Establishing a consistent exercise routine.
-
Adjusting exercise around previous injuries and individual limitations.
​
Your program evolves as you progress, with exercises, training loads and recovery adjusted to suit your response. You receive clear guidance on what you are doing, why it matters and how it connects to your goals.
EXPERT COACHING. YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
I built Evidence Based Motion to make consistent training easier to fit into everyday life.
Travelling to a gym can add another demand to an already busy week.
Our mobile personal training service brings the coaching and equipment to you, reducing travel time and making use of the space you have available.
​
We deliver sessions in:
-
Your home: personalised training in a familiar, convenient setting.
-
Apartment gyms: structured coaching using the facilities in your building.
-
Workplaces: training that fits around your working day.
-
Suitable outdoor locations: guided exercise in a local park or open space.
​
Each session is adapted to your environment while maintaining a clear purpose and progression.

STRENGTH FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
Training should help you do more of what matters to you.
That might mean keeping up with your children, feeling stronger at work, returning to regular exercise or maintaining the capacity to enjoy sport and travel as you get older.
Our approach centres on progressive strength training, cardiovascular fitness and movement skills, with manageable routines you can maintain.
The aim is lasting progress: greater physical capability, more confidence and a stronger foundation for an active life.
