Training and nutrition work best together. A personal trainer who also coaches nutrition can build your sessions and your eating around the same goal, whether that's losing fat, building muscle or having the energy to perform.
Every coach on this page is a personal trainer who is also a nutritionist or lists a nutrition specialty, such as sports nutrition or meal planning. Check each profile for their qualifications and how they approach food.
Why combine training and nutrition?
What you eat shapes how you recover, how much energy you bring to sessions and how your body changes. When one coach looks after both, the advice fits together: your training days, portions and habits are planned as one programme rather than two that pull in different directions.
What nutrition coaching with a trainer looks like
Expect practical help rather than a strict diet. Coaches might help you set up meals that fit your week, adjust how much you eat around training, or build a few habits at a time. Some provide meal plans; others teach you to plan your own. Ask how they work before you book.
Nutritionists, trainers and dietitians
Personal trainers with nutrition training and nutritionists can help with everyday eating, performance and habits. Dietitians are registered health professionals who provide medical nutrition therapy. If you have a medical condition, an eating disorder or complex dietary needs, talk to your GP or a registered dietitian first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, within limits. Trainers can give general, healthy-eating guidance that supports your training. Those with nutrition qualifications can go further with things like meal planning and sports nutrition. Medical nutrition advice for a health condition sits with dietitians and doctors.
No. In New Zealand "dietitian" is a protected title: only practitioners registered with the Dietitians Board can use it. Nutritionists focus on food and health for generally well people. The coaches on this page are personal trainers and nutritionists, not dietitians.
Not necessarily. Some people like a set plan to start with; others do better learning to build balanced meals themselves. A good coach will match their approach to how you like to eat and what you'll stick with.
Many coaches offer both online, with check-ins on your food and training through an app or messages. Check each coach's profile to see whether they coach online, in person or both.
Look at the qualifications on their Scouty profile, and ask them directly about their training in nutrition before you book. A good coach will be happy to explain what they can and can't help with.
