Sports Nutrition
As a qualified fitness instructor and nutritional therapist, I am ideally placed to offer nutritional advice and dietary programmes to support your training.
Whether you are a serious athlete, a ‘weekend warrior’ or training for a specific event, optimum nutrition is an essential part of your training programme.
Improve body composition
When your training programme is not giving you the results you want, it may be time to focus on your diet.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat.
A programme with carefully calculated calories and macros is essential during 'bulking' in order to gain lean muscle without putting on excess body fat - especially if you have been training hard and haven't seen results.
Likewise, the right diet is critical for preserving muscle and balancing energy levels while dropping body fat.
Your sports nutrition programme will take into account your individal training programme, as well as your personal goals.
Your personalised sports nutrition
programme is calorie-counted for you,
and designed with the optimal balance of protein, carbs and fat for your goals.
Boost performance
Proper fuelling and recovery is an essential part of any training regime.
The right nutritional programme can improve performance by optimising glycogen levels, boosting aerobic capacity, improving endurance and enhancing muscle repair.
