"The importance of nutrition in performance is well-known; yet a-majority of certifications will either barely scratch the surface or offer a “Nutrition 101” version of the information. The ISSN SNS certification by GPNi® is different - the depth of the knowledge you’ll learn on this course goes above and beyond. It will set you apart as a fitness professional.”

"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."

"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."

Ana Terra

As qualified nutritionist myself, I am so happy I signed up for the SNS certification. I learned a great deal more about sports nutrition that I had originally imagined.  Having access to world renowned experts in field and the working with the most up to date research really makes this sports nutrition certification standout among the rest.

Lenka Sutra

I was looking for the perfect course that combined theoretical knowledge and practical experience in sports nutrition for many years. After much research, I chose The ISSN Sports Nutrition Specialist (SNS) on the GPNi® portal. I was greatly impressed with the new knowledge I gained also the course flow with the blend of on-demand content together with “live” online Zoom tutorials and class group. For those in the fitness industry, I highly recommended getting ISSN certified on the GPNi® portal and upgrading your knowledge and career at the same time.
