Sports nutrition – it’s not just for the professional athletes.
Whether you workout in the gym, are a weekend warrior or a more serious amateur athlete your sports nutrition needs are no different to that of the Olympian, Premier League football player or professional tri-athlete.

I’m stronger, leaner and in great shape for the world cup”

We worked together on a manageable nutritional plan which resulted in losing a stone of fat whilst maintaining my strength and fitness. As a result of his advice I managed to take an hour off my previous race time! His knowledge is second to none and explains the role of nutrition in layman’s terms.
