Exercise scientist · Powerlifting coach · PhD
Meet Hannah
Hannah Altman, PhD — a decade-plus in occupational pain management, chronic pain, sports-specific training and drug-tested powerlifting.
I've worked in the health and fitness industry for over a decade, specialising in occupational pain management, chronic pain, sports-specific training and drug-tested powerlifting. I've been a high-level athlete since I can remember — but I'm also someone who has struggled with my own body weight and confidence in the gym.
I've studied and honed my skills for over a decade, and I love helping people find confidence and safety in the space of the gym. Above all, I'm a passionate hands-on powerlifting coach with experience in the sport from every angle. I love nothing more than helping people find their happy place and safety at the barbell.
My vision
I built Infinite on the foundational principle that everyone — no matter their size, age, gender, race, colour or personal beliefs — deserves to be healthy, fit and happy. That means an inclusive, respectful community that educates, supports and encourages you in your journey to living a healthy life.
I want exercise, strength training and fitness to be a highlight of daily living, not a chore; a place where being strong is empowering and a tool for longevity. Whether you're online, on the ground in Sydney, rehabilitating, learning to powerlift or competing — if you're with Infinite, you're part of our family.
I've dedicated my entire adult life to building this platform, and I'm always learning — so that through Infinite you can be empowered, be strong, and discover that together the possibilities are infinite. Pun intended.
