Precision Nutrition Level 1

The industry’s top education programme. Master the science of nutrition and the art of coaching. The Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification is your springboard to a deep understanding of nutrition, the authority to coach it, and the ability to turn what you know into results.

Effective Nutrition Coaching - the missing piece in health and fitness After 25 years in the field, Precision Fitness has learnt that professional nutrition coaching is missing in every corner of our industry — from personal training and manual therapy, to functional medicine, group exercise, yoga, and beyond. Without effective nutrition skills, professionals struggle to get impressive results with the people they work with, which often signals the end of the relationship. After trying (and failing) to help multiple clients or patients, it’s easy to see why many lose their passion for the work and even consider leaving the field altogether! But with effective nutrition skills, you can feel confident, competent, and credible. You can offer advice that you know is right. And you can transfer knowledge in the right way, so that each person you work with gets the results they’re looking for. Put simply: Knowing how to coach nutrition effectively is the key to helping people get the results they deserve Final Note The health and fitness field is changing quickly. Obesity and diet-related illness are at an all-time high and millions of people need help with their nutrition more than ever. Whatever specific field you work in, it’s important to understand that the most successful professionals will be those who have a deep understanding of nutrition science and the ability to effectively help others. That’s what we do every day. And we’re ready to teach you the same science-based coaching method we’ve used with major health organizations, professional sports teams, Olympic athletes, and over 100,000 clients and patients worldwide.

What is the Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification? Imagine if you had all the nutrition, coaching, and change psychology research…all the scientific concepts…all the experience…all the practical “how-to” stuff…all in one place. If you had a trusted source of education…a proven system…and real-life advice to help guide your professional development. If it came in a clear, understandable, self-paced learning format that suited your schedule. And if, at the end of the process, you had a system (like ProCoach) to deliver the habit-based nutrition coaching you just learned, so you can grow a practice while working less and getting better results. That’s what The Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification is here for. In addition to learning how nutrition really works, you’ll understand how people think and act, and you’ll be able to turn that into a thriving coaching practice. This means you’ll get better results, attract more clients and patients, keep them for longer, and make more money than you thought possible. Whether you’re:

• just starting out in the field of health, fitness, or wellness;
• an established professional in the middle of your career;
• passionate about health and considering a career change;
• working with people one-on-one or in a group setting; or
• wanting to deepen your knowledge of nutrition…

…You can become Precision Nutrition Certified.  The Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification will teach you all that, including the methodology we’ve tested, refined, and proven with over 100,000 coaching clients.
