Gym owners know that in order for their clients to see great results, they need to be talking about nutrition. In fact, the foundation of the CrossFit Fitness Pyramid is nutrition, yet most gym owners skip right over the conversation and focus on fitness.
Why is nutrition the missing piece of the puzzle in so many CrossFit gyms?
Simply put, gym owners way too many hats and the idea of starting a nutrition program from scratch is way too overwhelming. Maybe they don’t have any formal education and they only know “what works well for me.” I hear the same story every day.
“I know nutrition is important. I run nutrition challenges but my nutrition program ends at the end of a challenge. Or I had a program but my nutrition coach left and the program left with them.”
Does that sound familiar?
This is why we started providing a ton of FREE help to gym owners. Every week on the Grow Your Nutrition Business Podcast, we provide simple and actionable tips to build a nutrition program.
In March of 2021, we released a FREE CrossFit CEU course on building a nutrition program, over 500 people registered within weeks, not for the CEUs, to learn how to integrate a nutrition program into a gym.
By adding a nutrition program you will improve member results, increase retention and add a revenue stream that isn’t reliant on your doors to be open!
