Transforming my body and life in the past few years wasn’t easy work - it took a lot of perseverance. 35kg body fat loss would have been impossible without the right knowledge and attitude. Learning from the best with the GPNi® and the ISSN certification I highly recommend anyone looking to improve their lives for the better.

Over the past few years, my interest in sports and nutrition grew, while the different concepts and opinions seemed confusing. The SNS course was a challenge for me, as I have no prior educational background on this topic, but professional teaching, a well- structured outline and access to the latest science information connected all aspects to a coherent picture of sports nutrition.

I’ve always understood how important nutrition is for performance, but many certifications I found either skimmed the surface or were basic. Enrolling in the GPNi® PNE Level-1 + ISSN-SNS certification gave me the scientific depth I had been searching for in sports nutrition education. What truly sets this certification apart is the evidence-based performance nutrition it offers. It connected research with real-world application, helping me stand out in the field.

"One of my biggest frustrations in the industry in the past has been courses where the knowledge is already outdated based on the current science, but they're very slow to update the course content. That isn't a problem with the PNE Level-1 + SNS certification and the GPNi. It is the world's most up-to-date and cutting-edge science-backed sports nutrition certification." - Holly Priestland (UK), PNE Level-1 + SNS, Graduate Year, 2021

“I was looking for the perfect course that combined theoretical knowledge and practical experience in sports nutrition for many years. I was greatly impressed with what I learned and gained with the blend of on-demand content together and “live” online Zoom tutorials and class groups. For those in the fitness industry, I highly recommend getting the PNE Level-1 + SNS certified on the GPNi portal and upgrading your knowledge and career simultaneously.” - Lenka Suta (Slovakia), PNE Level-1 + SNS, Graduate Year, 2021.
