MEET THE TEAM
PETER TYDEMAN
Exercise Physiologist
I'm an Accredited Exercise Physiologist based in the Blue Mountains, with over 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. My journey began in 2010 with Certificate III and IV in Fitness, and continued through to a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology, which I proudly completed at the University of New England in 2022.
In 2025, I took over Foundation Allied Health in Lawson, NSW, with the goal of continuing to deliver exceptional allied health services to my local community. I'm passionate about helping people set meaningful goals and work toward them—whether through rehabilitation, performance enhancement, or improving overall wellbeing.
I'm accredited with ESSA, ASCA, and AusActive, and hold coaching qualifications as a Level 2 run coach, and Level 2 Athletics development coach with Australian Athletics, as well as an AusCycle mountain bike skills coach. Supporting others in unlocking their full potential through movement is what drives me every day.
Outside of work, I stay active through mountain bike racing and volunteer as a junior coach with the Western Sydney Mountain Bike Club and the Katoomba District Athletics Club. I live in the Blue Mountains with my wife, Sally, and our two energetic kids, Zac and Chloe. I love spending time outdoors, gardening, and hearing people’s stories—it's a privilege to walk alongside others in their health journey, and I look forward to continuing this work in the community I call home.
