Very friendly, helpful and willing to answer any health questions you have. Highly recommended AAAAA+++++Posted on Liam FarrugiaFebruary 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After working closely with Tristan for an extended period of time I can comfortably say he’s a fantastic trainer, really clear and concise with his instructions and just an overall down to earth, great guy. Would absolutely recommend him for anyone looking to get into fitness as even with my limited knowledge prior to training with Tristan, he’s given me all the tools I need to succeed. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Allen ParkFebruary 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Tristan I was training for a marathon, i had knee pain around 20km mark, Tristan went through movement mechanics and found the root cause of the problem. Where everyone would have thought the problem was from the knees, Dr. tristan found out it’s from my hips. Through his tailored program i was successfully able to complete the full marathon pain free! Would definitely recommend 5★Posted on Iwan JonesJanuary 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tristan is an extremely qualified exercise scientist who has helped elevate my training in the gym. He is very personable and knowledgeable.Posted on Jeffica AlbrizzilDecember 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tristan is a great PT. He helped me rehab my shoulder and then get back to the weights I was pushing before the injury. He made sure I didn't overdo things, which is something I'm prone to do, but also pushed me further when he knew I could take it. He's also very accommodating for everything, including changing times, switching exercises I didn't like, or answering health questions I had. Can't recommend enoughPosted on MichaelDecember 8, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After 20 years of sport at many levels I’d done a lot of damage to my knees, especially my left knee to the point where I couldn’t walk or be on my feet all day without constant pain. I ended up on the surgery rout and after a physio got the range of motion back I made the decision that I needed more advanced rehab and training. That’s here I met Tristan. I had this crazy plan I wanted to play some football again but given my age was probably a pipe dream but a goal none the less. Tristin was never dismissive and made solid plans, answered all my silly questions as objectively as possible and set out realistic goals and achievements. Even as other injury set backs came we reset and made a new plan. I didn’t make it back in the park due to another completely unrelated injury revolving around my love of extreme sports but now three years on I can run and run pain free. I wouldn’t have believed in the early days this would ever be possible. Tristin didn’t just train me, he taught me life skills to be able to from day to day manage and live with my injuries in a pain free manner that allows me to live my best and most active life now I’m the wrong side of 40. I highly recommend Tristin and consider this to have been one of the best investments in my health I’ve ever made.Posted on Mitchell EdwardsNovember 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started seeing Tristan after i suffered a shoulder injury playing baseball. Tristan provided me with a specific programme to recover and strengthen my shoulder. Tristan is very knowledgeable in all aspects of injury prevention & treatment. Highly recommended!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

health experts testimonials
Many health experts trust true direction health with their own health and fitness
Roberta R
Nurse
I started training with Tristan in 2024, after nearly two years away from physical activity due to an injury and ongoing chronic hip and back pain.
Now, I attend the gym twice a week, do mobility exercises daily, and have started running 2-3 times a week! After a long day at the office, his sessions bring just the right balance of focus and fun. I feel happier, and my athletic spirit is finally returning
Dr Richard B
Chiropractor
I’m very gym shy, so it’s been super helpful that Tristan has been very gentle, kind and understanding. Been training for over 3 years now with fantastic results.
Jacinta J
Senior Physiotherapist
He has helped me recover after surgery and also perform in competitive sports. He can easily tailor programs to suit all goals and our sessions are always a lot fun.
Cathryne L
Education and Development Psychologist
He is the first person I have trained with where the training hasn’t exacerbated my low back pain and I’m still getting stronger!
how it works
Ready to discover your true health and fitness direction? Here is the next step
Complimentary 2026 Health Roadmap Consult
This session is designed for active adults who want more than short term fixes or generic workout plans.
You’ll sit down with Tristan Dowdy, Exercise Scientist and Owner of True Direction Health, to understand why your body is behaving the way it is, what’s holding you back from consistent progress, and what it will actually take to stay strong, capable and injury-free long-term.
During your session, we will:
- Assess how your body moves in real time through a comprehensive movement and mobility assessment
- Identify the key biomechanical “red flags” contributing to pain, setbacks or stalled progress
- Map out a clear, evidence-based strategy aligned to your lifestyle, goals and life demands
This is not a workout and not a sales pitch.
There is no obligation to continue beyond this session — the goal is clarity, not pressure.
