We believe in a simple, habit-based, health-focused approach. Our framework goes beyond just nutrition to address the five core pillars of health:

• Nutrition
• Sleep
• Stress management & mindset
• Exercise & movement
• Support systems & environment

At the center of our nutrition approach are three core principles:

1. Whole Foods First – Prioritize lean proteins, vegetables, healthy fats, some fruit, and starch.

2. Balance Macronutrients – Build meals by pairing protein, carbs, and fat.

3. Limit Ultra-Processed Foods, Added Sugar & Alcohol 

No fad diets. No quick fixes. Just sustainable habits that help people look, feel, and live better long term.

HSN Mentoring is a great fit for:

✅ Gym owners and fitness professionals who want to build a professional, health-focused coaching program.

✅ Owners who see nutrition as the missing piece of their business and are ready to integrate it into their core offering.

✅ Teams who value mentorship and proven systems over trial-and-error.

✅ Coaches or gyms who believe in a habit-based, holistic approach—not fad diets or quick fixes.

✅ Businesses of all sizes (from small studios to large affiliates) that want to create consistent, scalable nutrition programs.

Named the Top Habit-Based Coaching Program in 2025, Healthy Steps Nutrition Mentoring provides the proven framework, tools, and support to help you build and grow with confidence.

If you’re ready to make nutrition a pillar of your brand, grow revenue, and help your clients achieve better results, you’re an ideal partner for HSN Mentoring.

Healthy Steps Nutrition Mentoring is not a fit for:

❌ Gym owners or coaches looking to deliver a strictly automated nutrition offer with no personal connection.

❌ Coaches who only want to provide macro prescriptions or restrictive meal plans.

Our program is designed for gyms and coaches who believe in a habit-based, health-focused approach, helping clients create lasting change through nutrition, sleep, stress management, exercise, and support systems.

The HSN Mentoring program includes the Healthy Steps Nutrition coach certification, business systems, nutrition challenge, sales training, employee wellness framework, the Healthy Steps Nutrition app and ongoing support to help you scale and grow. 

Most gym owners enroll right into the mentoring program to fast-track their ability to launch and scale a profitable nutrition coaching program. 

Gym owners can book a free call here to learn more. 

The average Healthy Steps Nutrition Coach charges $199 – $229 per month for coaching. 

With the systems that Healthy Steps Nutrition provides, including the HSN App, it takes about two hours per client in the first month and about one hour per month after that. Most part-time coaches (about six hours per week) can successfully handle 20–25 nutrition clients while maintaining high-quality support and accountability.

The most successful gyms:

✅ Trust the process and follow the playbook — you’re paying to not reinvent the wheel.

✅ Stay engaged after the initial onboarding and align the team (owners are the leaders of their tribe).

✅ Make nutrition part of their core offering and brand identity.

✅ Keep the owner involved in monthly mentoring calls and ensure they meet with their nutrition team at least once per month.

✅ Keep nutrition a priority in their marketing and consistently highlight nutrition clients wins. 

When gyms do this, they position nutrition as a professional, health-focused program that grows with consistency.

The least successful gyms:

❌ Expect a coach to go through training and “do it all alone.”

❌ Don’t align their team—leaving only the nutrition coach talking about the importance of nutrition.

❌ Fail to integrate nutrition into their overall brand and messaging.

Even if you’re not the one delivering nutrition coaching, as the owner you must ensure your entire team is aligned and your gym’s messaging reflects a health-focused offering.

Yes. As part of mentoring, you’ll gain access to a framework for delivering employee wellness programs in your community, an incredible way to expand impact and revenue.

First, congrats not many gyms already offer individual nutrition coaching.  If they do, most lack the systems to scale, ensure consistency, or protect against staff turnover.

• What would happen if you doubled or tripled your nutrition clients
• What would happen if your nutrition coach left?

Without systems, growth often creates chaos.

By partnering with Healthy Steps Nutrition Mentoring, you gain a structured program, proven systems, and the HSN App to deliver a consistent, professional experience no matter how many clients or coaches you have. Plus, you’ll receive ongoing mentorship and marketing resources to help your program thrive long term.
