If you want to become a personal trainer or even enhance your understanding as a gym instructor then nutrition for exercise is a very important qualification to have but also a general understanding of nutrition and where to source important macro groups and minerals etc.will help you.
Thr question in the heading isnt a trick question… where do we get olive oil from? when asked this a lot of Personal Training Qualifications students will give the options of Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys….well how about getting it from an olive???
Naturally sourced food is a great way to get what you require in your diet and is also a lot cheaper than buying supplements, we see lots of gym users carrying around protein drinks for additional protein, how many carry around additional carbohydrates and fats in their kit bag??
Just a few things to think about really, I sometimes think that we complicate the simple things and make life more difficult than we need to, if you are thinking of a personal training course it will have nutrition for exercise included if it is accreditted, as our is. If you are a Gym instructor or ETM instructor then you can take this as a seprerate qualification.
