Job description

Location: Bangalore South, India

Ziathlon is a multi‑disciplinary sports medicine clinic located in Bangalore (South), Karnataka, India.

Job Summary

Ziathlon is hiring an Exercise Physiologist to own assessment, prescription, and monitoring across the full client spectrum – weight loss, diabetes, cardiac rehabilitation, and athletic injury/return‑to‑play. This is a testing‑led, data‑driven role: every prescription originates from objective assessment, not assumption. Reports to the Medical Director.

Responsibilities

• Conduct exercise testing and functional assessments: VO2 max, lactate threshold, heart rate variability, movement/form screening, and other performance/health diagnostics as required by client track
• Translate test data into individualized exercise prescriptions across four populations: metabolic (weight loss/diabetes), cardiac rehab, and performance/return‑to‑injury athletes
• Run periodic re‑assessments to track progress and adjust prescriptions
• Conduct form correction and corrective exercise programming for injured or returning athletes
• Collaborate with Performance/Metabolic Nutrition, Physiotherapy, and Sports Psychology to keep programs cross‑functionally aligned
• Document all assessments and prescriptions in Eka Care per clinical protocol
• Flag any cardiac or medical red flags from testing data to the Medical Director immediately

Requirements

• M.Sc. in Exercise Physiology, OR M.Sc. in Sports Science with a recognized certification (ACSM‑CEP, CSCS, or equivalent)
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience with VO2 max, lactate threshold, and HRV testing protocols and equipment
• Working knowledge of cardiac rehabilitation exercise guidelines (non‑negotiable given client base)
• Strong assessment‑to‑prescription clinical reasoning — this is not a generic trainer role
• Comfortable working across a wide population range in a single day (a 60‑year‑old diabetic client and a competitive athlete, same shift)
• Full‑time, probationary entry (standard Ziathlon probation period applies before confirmation)
• Direct mentorship and clinical oversight from the Medical Director
• Access to a multi‑disciplinary clinical team (nutrition, physiotherapy, sports psychology) rather than working in isolation
• Exposure to a high‑volume, varied testing caseload — strong portfolio‑building for performance/clinical career growth
• Compensation, leave, and other standard benefits — as per company policy, based on the interview outcome
