Okay, so who knew you could squeeze extra cash just by knowing your kale from your spinach? I wandered into this rabbit hole about nutrition coaching in fitness businesses, and now I can’t stop thinking. Like, imagine you’re hustling in your gym, yelling motivational crap (nose deep in the earbuds, as one does), and also snagging dollars through some sneaky nutrition coaching. Kind of wild, right?

Anyway, so you’ve got your regulars coming in, pretending they’re not annoyed by their alarm clocks every morning. They’re already paying for gym memberships; what’s stopping you from sliding a few more services their way? Apparently, some folks are weaving nutrition advice into personal training (mixed in with some fancy words to sound wise) as an extra service. I mean, why just tell someone to squat when you can also nag them about their macros, right?
There’s this whole world of group nutrition workshops too. Imagine a bunch of sweaty, post-spin class people huddled together listening to you go on about quinoa. (Unreal, I know.) But somehow, people are doing it, and wallets are opening. Then there’s the magic of online sessions—no need to even leave your cat to go live. People sign up, you blabber about vegan burgers, and cha-ching. Just make sure you don’t accidentally press mute while extolling the greatness of chickpeas.

Then there’s meal planning. (Cue eye roll because who’s got time?) But someone could love it. There’s money in detail—after all, veggies don’t chop themselves and clients certainly don’t plan. Just tossing some ideas, maybe even subscription boxes filled with every superfood under the sun. Spinach kale, spirulina whatnot. Count me out but hey, to each their own.
So what’s the takeaway here? Maybe nothing. Maybe we should all be nutrition coaches. But, mostly, it’s proof that where there’s a will and some carbs, there’s a way. And who knows—spinning this into your fitness world might just settle that avocado toast debt. Or not. My eyes still hurt. I need coffee. Ugh.
