The honest read on AI for exercise physiologists in NZ and Australia.
When exercise physiologists ask us what AI actually changes, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday?

What changes for exercise physiologists week to week
Exercise Physiologists sits within Healthcare, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Handle bookings, triage and reminders by voice
- Summarise notes in plain language
- Answer staff questions over your protocols
- Cut phone and paperwork time
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
By the numbers
Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.
Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Good questions, answered
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Has this actually shipped for a real exercise physiologists team?
Yes. 0.18% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI stack we reach for is Handle bookings, triage and reminders by voice, Summarise notes in plain language, Answer staff questions over your protocols, Cut phone and paperwork time, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
