Louis Maniakas began his journey as a passionate adolescent football player in the NSW Premier League. As his football career progressed, he underwent a mindset shift and began to acknowledge the health benefits of structured exercise. His relentless pursuit of recovery monitoring and injury prevention strategies earned him multiple Goalkeeper of the Year awards, driven by a deep interest in how the body responds to load, stress, and regeneration.

 

After leaving high school, he discovered the Certificate III in Fitness, which sparked his interest in the human body and its response to exercise. He completed this certification and went on to enrol in the Certificate IV in Fitness and subsequently the Certificate IV in Massage Therapy.

​

After two years of developing his knowledge of human anatomy and exercise, Louis became a qualified personal trainer and has since made a real difference in people's lives, helping them achieve their health and fitness goals. Motivated to further expand his knowledge, he decided to pursue the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Technology Sydney, refining his expertise in biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, load management, and evidence-based programming.

​

As an Accredited Exercise Scientist, Louis now possesses a deep understanding of human anatomy and the transformative impact of a healthy lifestyle on physical well-being. He has also developed a unique evidence-based recovery framework that blends elite sports science with everyday usability... making it simple, measurable, and effective for the general population. It’s a system designed to guide when and how hard to train, reduce injury risk, and improve long-term performance and consistency.

 

This inspired him to establish Evidence Based Motion in 2021, with the aim of providing exercise services that are backed by the best available research evidence, empowering individuals to feel better, move better, prevent illness, and develop the strength to overcome any challenges they may face.

 

 Every session is built on data, logic, and results - not guesswork.. Currently based in Sydney, Louis plans to expand Evidence Based Motion across Australia, sharing this knowledge to improve the nation’s health and wellbeing. ​
