Clean Health Group — Born in Australia, raising the standards globally
Our Story

Born in Australia, raising the standards globally

Clean Health Group consists of three global health and fitness brands — Clean Health, Australian Institute of Fitness, and Vast Nutrition Academy — united by a shared commitment to raising the standard of the fitness industry worldwide.

Founded and built by Daine McDonald, Clean Health began as a leader in the gym and personal training space before making the shift to online fitness education as an Australian Government Accredited Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in 2020.

Clean Health Group has ongoing partnerships with key figures in the health and fitness world, including James Smith, Dr Layne Norton, Sebastian Oreb, Dr Jackson Peos, Dr Bill Campbell, Mark Carroll, and Lauren Simpson. The group has been featured in The Sydney Morning Herald, GQ, Men's Fitness, Australian Women's Health and Fitness, and more.

As a growing global entity, Clean Health Group isn't just about providing a platform for real-world coaching tools and accreditations — it's about creating a community of fitness professionals set on shifting the industry standard for the better.

For the trainers, by the trainers

AIF's place in the Group

The Australian Institute of Fitness joined Clean Health Group as part of an exciting acquisition that set in motion a future of sustained change in the fitness industry. As Australia's longest-standing fitness educator — operating since 1979 — AIF brings decades of nationally recognised training expertise to the Group.

Together, the brands share resources, technology, and a unified vision: to help one million fitness professionals worldwide by 2030, centred around a full reset of the health and fitness industry, towards knowledge, development and practicality.

For AIF students, this means access to a broader ecosystem of education, tools, and career support than any single brand could offer alone.

Three Gyms
