Who are we - really.
At Bone Health Studio we don’t want to be a Trainer, a Physio, a Dietitian, we want to be people in your life that make a difference through our clinical reasoning, but also through our personality. We’re here to educate, guide, inspire and empower.
Let’s meet us.
FOUNDER and BIOMECHANICS:
Greg Pain (bsc - Sport and exercise science)
Greg Pain is a Sports Biomechanist based in Auckland, New Zealand, with more than 20 years of clinical experience helping people move better, build strength, and return to the activities that matter most to them. Over the years, Greg has worked with a wide range of people — from high-performing athletes to older adults wanting to stay active, capable, and confident in their bodies. His reputation has been built on combining sharp clinical reasoning with an honest, highly individual approach.
Why Bone Health Studio
Bone Health Studio was created to offer something Greg felt was missing: a place where people navigating osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, RED-S, menopause-related change, or recovery from injury or surgery could receive truly evidence-based strength support in a calm, structured, and welcoming environment. Not a generic gym, and not a passive treatment model — but a space where people can be guided safely and clearly toward better strength, function, and confidence.
A Different Approach to Strength and Rehabilitation
Greg’s professional background has always sat at the intersection of performance and rehabilitation. That same thinking now shapes Bone Health Studio. His approach is not just about treating symptoms or prescribing generic exercise. It is about understanding the individual in front of him — their movement history, confidence, goals, injuries, and barriers — and then building a plan that matches their needs.
At the heart of Greg’s work is a simple belief: when prescribed well, strength training can be life-changing. It can help reduce fear, improve resilience, restore physical capability, and give people greater trust in their body again. For many people, that is just as important as the physical outcomes themselves.
Helping People Move Forward With Confidence
Bone Health Studio exists to bridge the gap between traditional rehab and full-function strength. Greg knows that many people have been told to simply “be careful” or “stay active,” without ever being shown what safe, meaningful strength support actually looks like. His aim is to change that — by helping people feel educated, supported, and appropriately challenged, rather than confused or held back by fear.
For Greg, the goal is always the same: to help people move forward with more strength, more clarity, and more confidence in what their body can do.
If you are looking for a safer, clearer, and more evidence-based way to build strength and move well, Greg would love to help you take that first step.
exercise physiology:
prakashini (pax) patel (BSc Sport and exercise science)
Pax Patel is an Exercise Physiologist with a strong focus on progressive strength training, exercise prescription and building physical capacity over time. Her approach is structured, individualised and designed to help clients develop strength, power, confidence and long-term function.
At Bone Health Studio, Pax works particularly closely with clients who benefit from carefully progressed loading for bone health, osteopenia or osteoporosis, joint health and general physical resilience. Following a detailed initial assessment, she develops and progresses exercise programmes according to each person’s goals, current ability and response to training.
Pax’s strength lies in taking someone from where they are now and helping them build capacity step by step — creating a clear, progressive pathway rather than simply prescribing a collection of exercises.
