SPORTS NUTRITION
Protocols for Optimal Health & Ultimate Performance ©
just £297 - including extensive study material and certification
To perform better, recover faster, build more muscle and lose fat takes an optimally functioning body. Come and hear how this can be achieved, with Cain Leathem, one of Britain’s top Exercise and Nutrition Consultants. A fascinating insight into this exciting field of research and practice, and is a must for all Personal Trainers, Nutritional Therapists and other health care practitioners. Those with Level 3 REPs registration will be awarded 16 CPD points upon successfully passing the courses assessment.
Performing in sport or taking part in physical activity places extra demands on the body. No matter what level your client is at – whether they play sports recreationally, go to the gym regularly, are training for a specific event, or they’re an elite athlete participating regularly in events – they’ll all need a personalised nutrition programme that will allow them to be the best that they can be whilst staying healthy, energetic and injury free.
This essential 2 day course will cover:
• An overview of the physiological mechanisms of the body that are challenged by the rigours of exercise and training
• The latest research from the field of sport and exercise nutrition
• Key nutritional protocols to support recovery, aid progression and limit damage to the body
• Common problems relating to sport and exercise
• How to keep your clients not just fit but optimally healthy by supporting their endocrine, digestive and immune systems, as well as the musculoskeletal system
• How to maximise results and minimise issues such as inflammation and injury
• The latest research, and practical application, of proven sports supplementation. Removing the marketing hype and examining the science behind enhancing performance and recovery
The assessment of learning will be in the form of a short answer Knowledge Review to be completed within 2 weeks of the course attendance. Guidelines for the allocation of marks are as follows:
Each student requires a 80% mark to pass and gain certification.
Level 3 Personal Trainers and other Level 3 Health and Fitness Professionals on the Register of Exercise Professionals will then be able to register their 16 CPD points.

CLICK HERE TO SEE AN INTERVIEW WITH CAIN
Cain Leathem is the fitness guru that was born to do no other than serve this industry with a lifetime of professional service. Continually learning throughout his many years as a trainer and never tiring of growing into a more knowledgeable man than he already is. Cain is one of a few shining lights of an industry in which mixed signals are sent to people trying and failing to better their bodies or athletic performance. Cain sets the record straight and his goal is to deliver results to people who crave them, with honesty and professionalism that I haven’t seen in such abundance as with Cain. – Jamie Magee, student of GB Fitness
Cain has a passion and enthusiasm for his subject and has an excellent teaching style which imparts his wealth of knowledge and experience to his students and manages to explain even the most difficult concepts in a way that all can understand. His courses are comprehensive, the scientific reasoning is robust and far exceeds that of other courses, giving confidence to the student. As a medical Doctor I chose his courses to expand my current practice and knowledge, something that other companies could not offer.

for details on how to hold these courses at a venue close to YOU!
The courses offered by GB Fitness are a very unique in their approach. We pride ourselves on real education for Exercise Professionals who want the knowledge to make a difference to the lives of their clients and the results that they achieve exceed those of the mass-produced Instructors that are all too common in our industry.
There is a lot of work covered each day (with more study and revision at home) but this is how we can fit so much in that is not normally included by other training companies, esp. at this price! These courses do go much deeper than your standard "turn up-and-pass" type that seem to be the trend!
The course books are in depth and focus on NEEDED skills rather than information you will never use.
The courses have a varied base of students from Elite athletes to some that have never trained...it is an equal starting ground as many have pre-conceived ideas that we may well change for the better of both you and your clients ...
The courses offered cover a wide range of training protocols as well as assessing techniques and relevant theory - to be applied to any sport or rehabilitation situation.
At GB Fitness we do not believe in the current trend of correspondent courses ...
As you will see we at GB Fitness have a vast range of experience and so the course content will reflect this (We always recommend that you check WHO is teaching you, WHO wrote the courses and WHAT they have achieved with THEIR clients...all OUR details are here on this website). When it comes to employment potential we provide contact with two of the largest specialist recruitment companies in the UK ... we don't just throw you out there when you have qualified, we stay in touch and help you get going!
The courses are normally held in Birmingham, over weekends and accommodation can be arranged for you at heavily discounted rates.
Many travel from around the country as these courses offer the most comprehensive training, wide validation and at a fraction of the cost of many other companies...easy choice really!?
We can also offer courses in your area if the numbers are adequate and a suitable establishment can be arranged.

Why choose GB FITNESS for your exercise and nutrition education?
because above all you should be doing all that you can to ensure the information that you share (and likely charge for) is up-to-date, correct and proven in practice. In reality many of the courses available are taught by lecturers who have little direct involvement with clients and have had no input into the course construction - therefore knowledge may be limited. As an Exercise and Nutrition Consultant Cain and his trainers have worked with hundreds of clients from very different backgrounds and achieved great results by combining academic knowledge with practical experience. They have personally written these courses and deliver them to be on hand to answer any questions and explain any complexities as we progress through the course work. We set a high standard and assessments/exams are designed to fully test your new-found knowledge, as there are too many poor quality "trainers" in this industry. When dealing with a person's health we at GB Fitness feel it is important to be as professional as one can be!

A TESTIMONIAL OR TWO...
"My name is Paul Lennon and have been in the health & Fitness Industry for over 7 years now. Like many I have been attracted by some of the well known companies in the U.K who promise to deliver the most cutting edge research that is meant to provide you with the tools needed in the industry as a Fitness Instructor/P.T. After they happily take your lump sum of hard earned cash you eventually find yourself sitting the painfully easy exams and pass. Now you can go out into the industry as a brainwashed result of generic business development convinced you could give open heart surgery! I quickly began to realise as a freelance P.T I needed far more ammunition and a vast arrary of knowledge to be the best. That's When I turned to GB Fitness... I was already qualified as a P.T when I enroled onto the Adv Gym Instructors course and had gained my education through recognised groups such as NASM, WABBA, ACSM, YMCA, FOCUS and in house training from Esporta, LAfitness, Virgin Active, Fitness First and local leisure centres. Plus College qualifications as a sports therapist gaining a HND.
To cut a long story short I eventually completed all of the GB Fitness courses. They were all so advanced with the most cutting edge science needed to refine your knowledge and education to the optimum level. Understandable, non-confusing and yes, TOUGH! But this is what you should expect. GB Fitness taught me so much I actually had over and above the practical & theoretical knowledge to be the best in my field. I began to establish myself as a respectable, results based P.T and soon had many regular clients achieving their hard gained goals. I even had work referred from chiropractors, G.P's and physiotherapists.
Due to the abundence of knowledge I gained from GB Fitness I worked onboard luxury cruise liners around the world. Working for the biggest spa group in the world called 'Steiner' and have been on 3 different liners and 3 different cruise ship companies. I have travelled the Med, Caribbean, Alaska, South America, Australia and the South Pacific. I am Currently on the Pacific Sun cruising to Fiji... Because of the enhanced skils and knowledge Cain was able to teach I was promoted to the Fitness Director. This includes doing body composition analysis tests (BCA), 4 classes a day ranging from aerobics, pilates, yoga, stretch and abs...I also did P.T, seminars on health topics such as-Detox for Weight Loss, Fire Up Your Metabolism, Secrets to a Flatter Stomach, Healthy Back & Abs, Eat More To Weigh Less and finally Fats that heal Fats that Kill form Dr Udo Erasmus. I also got to go form ship to ship, training other fitness guys who lacked the nutritional knowledge to make them the best. GB Fitness has truly been the gold stamp to my own success so far and accepted around the world, I am proof! With the knowledge and skills obtained from GB Fitness qualifications the sky seriously is the limit and you can only continue to improve. I now encourage all my own staff to train with Cain!"
Yours Truly:
Paul Lennon, Fitness First Manager
"Cain takes great pride in helping others to achieve their dreams and goals not only as a personal trainer but as the trainer of trainers. He sees the whole picture and takes a holistic view of his client and does not trot out a one size fits all plan. The quality of trainers he sends out and the quality of the results he achieves in his clients from top class athletes to everyday people seeking to get a bit fitter or lose a few pounds is outstanding. He is also ready and willing to help those in greatest need without thought for himself. I have seen him provide nutrition advice to those who have received nothing from traditional medicine, help them to get results and charge nothing for the service." – Katie Fraser, client and student of GB Fitness
"Cain has been involved in the fitness industry for the best part of two decades now and has done more than anyone else to raise standards, first through his work with clients on a one-to-one basis and also secondly through the on-going courses that educate other trainers.
Cain has avoided the trap of settling for what everyone else is doing, and has continually innovated and improved standards, justifying his reasons for doing so throughout." – Marek Doyle, Personal Trainer and Nutrition Advisor
