Ares Strength Rehab - Keilor East (VIC)

5 /5 Eris ODonnell: The Onero progarm run by Nick at Ares Strength Rehab could be an excellent start for people like me who are older and want to do some weight training if you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopaenia like myself. It is a very safe way to start off a weights program with expert analysis and guidance from a patient and conscientious instructor, Nick. I thoroughly recommend his service.

5 /5 Tim Rouse: After being stuck in the dark stages of a back injury and chronic pain, Nick was one of the only practitioners to really take the time to assess me properly, provide expert guidance and show me a path out of pain. No expensive repeated appointments, took his time and didn’t give any false promises. 6 months of working with Nick and I have nearly completely crawled out from under the crushing weight of chronic back pain. Couldn’t recommend him any higher

5 /5 Sharon Campbell: Nick Adkins, Onero Program, Ares Strength Rehab I recently found out I have osteopenia after suffering a compression fracture of my spine. This was a slow and lengthy recovery with 6 months in a back brace before even starting to feel normal again. I never want to go through that again, and I set out to figure out what I can do to strengthen my bones. After listening to The Drive podcast with Peter Attia, I heard an interview with Belinda Beck and the Onero Program, and I knew that was exactly what I needed. Luckily, I found an exercise physiologist who provided this program close to where I live and started with Nick Adkins at Ares Strength Rehab in April 2025. I have steadily increased my strength over this time and now deadlifting over 50kg, shoulder pressing 15kg and squating 40kg, weights I would never have dreamed of lifting! I thank Nick for pushing me beyond what I ever thought possible and for being so patient with me and my injuries. If you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, the Onero Program is a must if you want to build strong bones.

5 /5 Douglas Kentish: Diagnoses via another Dexa scan indicated the Osteopenia had progressed to become Osteoporosis. After years of experience with Pilates before moving to this area at Airport West (Melbourne), I was looking to commence the Onero program that has scientifically shown to increase bone density and muscle mass. Nick Adkins at Ares Strength Gym has completed additional training to deliver the Onero Program. I have completed four months of his instruction and have been throughly impressed with his knowledge, exercise technique and dedication to the program. His demeanour and kindness have complimented his instruction giving me confidence and trust to continue this important work. Douglas Kentish.
