Body First Health Group started as Body First Myotherapy in 2009 by Director Dean Gunawardana. Dean is a degree qualified Clinical Myotherapist and a well-recognised and reputable strength and conditioning coach in the south east suburbs. He has worked extensively with a diverse range of clients, from children to adults, clients recovering from injuries, those requiring strength training, to those seeking dietary support and advice. Being heavily involved in sports, he has also worked very closely with and managed athletes at a local, state and national level.

In 2012, three years after opening Body First Myotherapy, Dean recognised the need for providing health services and advice with a wholistic approach. With this understanding, he opened a gym specialising in private training, group/club training and rehabilitation services and introduced nutritional services and supplements to create Body First Health Group (BFHG).

Today, BFHG offers a range of premium professional health services, support and supplements to clients at every level of health and fitness. BFHG leads the health and fitness industry with a science-centred, evidence based approach to assisting every individual with achieving their health and fitness goals.
