If you are serious about helping your competitive gymnast learn to fuel for her BEST performance, this challenge is just for you!
Inside The Fueled & Focused Challenge, I’m going to help you uncover what’s working and what’s not and create a game plan with your gymnast’s nutrition so that they can have their BEST season yet!
This is the breakdown of exactly what’s missing from her current nutrition approach. And that missing information is likely why she is tired, sore, or unknowingly struggling.
“Gymnasts just need to eat healthy”
How’s that really working (especially as your gymnast gets older and is considerably more in charge of what she eats)?
Instead of depending on “healthy eating” trends and then feeling totally lost when your gymnast may start to struggle with injuries, food, or her body…
What if you and your gymnast were confident with fueling in a way that feels good and levels up her performance and recovery?
What gymnasts and parents are told:
You know your gymnast isn’t eating enough…she skips meals, refuses breakfast, doesn’t eat before/during gymnastics (or isn’t allowed to), and you’re worried. She then may also go to the other end and seems to overeat or even “binge” on foods, especially the carbs, sweet treats, etc and you aren’t sure how to help her find “balance”.
You feel like your gymnast is a picky eater and it’s getting in the way of her performance.
You make super nutritious meals, feel like there is a good balance of all foods, and yet she often refuses what you make and just wants “junk”.
Your gymnast is TIRED and SORE all the time, and it breaks your heart.
You’ve tried therapists, chiropractors, supplements, etc and nothing seems to be helping. You wonder if her nutrition is at play, but you’re not sure.
Things are going well, but you are all too familiar with how things with food and body can go down a bad path as gymnasts get older, more advanced, etc. You want to help your gymnast feel confident in fueling her body and not struggle. You want to know how to make better meal options, fuel your gymnast for her best performance, and make sure she’s getting enough!
This is where the Fueled & Focused Nutrition Challenge comes in to help you sort through the “nutrition noise”.
Not only do gymnasts face some huge logistical and cultural challenges with fueling, but they also struggle with much of the same food/body issues that non-gymnasts face.
The reality is….we live in #dietculture which makes is SO difficult to *really* know how to fuel your gymnast (and yourself + the rest of the fam).
In less than 45 minutes a day for 3 days, you can finally:
Is your gymnast struggling right now with a big growth spurt over the summer (or knows it’s coming and is worried that her gymnastics won’t be the same)? Do you wonder if your gymnast is getting what she needs? We’re going to take a deep dive into fueling, underfueling, what’s normal + what’s not!

// Mom, Level 9 Gymnast
"My daughter feels safe and connected, not afraid to speak to Christina about her food and body image struggles as a high level gymnast. We love Christina as her nutrition advice is realistic and backed up by science."
// Mom, Level 5 Gymnast
"I love Christina’s approach to nutrition for the gymnast and not focusing on ‘bad’ foods. To be able to adjust to my own gymnast and understand more about fueling for performance. I am excited to build a healthy relationship with food for her.”
// Mom, Level 10 Gymnast
“Christina does a great job of explaining WHY it’s so important to be properly fueling gymnasts at this level and what that looks like. She helped me see the gaps we needed to fill and I loved the one-on-ones and the push to get blood work done. Highly recommend.”
// Mom, Level 9 Gymnast
“Nutrition is such a game changer. When everyone is doing the same hours and same skills, the adequately fueled athlete is ahead of the rest. Christina is a true expert and she wants to see your athlete succeed."
// Mom, Level 8 Gymnast
“The VIP program has been a game changer for my gymnast! It seems like common sense now, but I had no idea just how much of a role nutrition plays in injuries and her overall health in this sport. We've both learned so much and my gymnast has noticed a big difference in her energy levels and ability to focus both at gym and with school!”
Like your gymnast and many of you, I was a competitive gymnast for 9+ years and founded a 100% virtual sports nutrition practice exclusively for gymnasts.
It wasn’t until I become a dietitian nutritionist that I realized that what I had been doing with my nutrition as a gymnast was the complete opposite of what I needed, yet how should I have known? (Especially when that’s what everyone else was doing).
Now I have a healthy relationship with food and my body, and help compulsory through international elite gymnasts (and their parents/coaches!) achieve the things I wasn’t able to in my career.
Since 2017, I’ve had a private practice and worked with 100s of competitive gymnasts (compulsory through Sr Elite/National Team) and their parents —teaching them to fuel for optimal performance without the stress or overwhelm.
We attract gymnasts and parents who are ready to put in the time and effort to optimize nutrition and performance. They are not afraid to challenge beliefs they have about food and nutrition, and challenge cultural norms in the sport. Just because “this is how we’ve always done it” doesn’t make it right.
reach more gymnasts, parents, and coaches and this helps offset the costs.
We're trying really hard...
...in our course and with 1:1 clients so we want to stay in alignment.
We share this info...
…are invested and engage at a higher rate which leads to BETTER results for their gymnast!
People that pay...
three simple reasons:
Why are we charging?
Just $35 bucks!
So the big question is…. how much does it cost?
We’re going to have a Private Facebook Challenge Group ($197 value) that I’ll be active in DAILY to give you feedback, support, and encouragement to help level up your gymnast’s nutrition this season.
Each morning you’ll get an email from us with that day’s assignment. I’ll be live mid-day to help you through the day’s materials, answer questions, etc.
I put together a training workbook for each lesson to keep you out of overwhelm and on track with learning to fuel your gymnast! Never wonder what you should be doing next.
You’ll have access to all of the replays from the challenge by Thursday Sept 15th, but we’re giving you another week to watch them if you get behind!

YES! Often gymnasts (especially teens) may not want to talk about nutrition because it’s deeply personal and they don’t want to feel judged. Often comments about food/bodies have already been made and the course is a safe way to introduce new, healthy nutrition concepts without pressure. This challenge is a great way for you to get some insight into why they struggle and how to help.
What if my gymnast refuses to talk with me about nutrition, will this help?
No worries! We will have the replay posted as quickly as possible to the Challenge Facebook Group and will email you the replay link the next morning bright and early!
What if I can't make it live everyday?
This challenge is also a great way for coaches to get valuable nutrition education.
Is this only for gymnasts and parents, or for coaches too?
This challenge is geared towards parents and coaches of competitive gymnasts (Compulsory/Optionals/Elite). You are more than welcome to do the challenge with your gymnast, we recommend at least 12 and older.
Who is this challenge for?
YES! There will be replays for the live sessions each day if they are not at a convenient time for you.
We live in Australia/UK/Europe, etc? Can we still do the challenge?
No! Even though we LOVE pink, this challenge is also appropriate for parents of male gymnasts.
Is this only for female gymnasts?
