Do you know how to plan nutrition + hydration for your gymnast’s long, intense summer workouts?
Knowing WHAT and WHEN to fuel your gymnast is key to optimizing performance and recovery this off season.
I remember summer workouts as a high level gymnast.
They were long, difficult, and the gym was hot.
I remember struggling to eat breakfast before practice, knowing it was going to be a tough workout.
I only took water as I thought that’s “all gymnasts need” and “sports drinks are toxic, fattening, etc”.
I remember not knowing what to pack for lunch of skipping it if hanging out with friends.
I remember being STARVING in the evenings and wanting to eat and bake all the things, then telling myself I didn’t have enough willpower.
I remember feeling dizzy after warm ups and intense summer conditioning.
I remember feeling constantly exhausted and sore, just trying to make it through each week.
I remember the rush of making new skills and the defeat of getting injured (often towards the end of a workout when tired and not concentrating as well).
And I was all too familiar with getting injured sometime in preseason after an amazing summer.
More than likely, your gymnast can relate to some if not all of these. They’re not alone, but this also isn’t normal.
High level gymnasts can feel GOOD in their bodies during long training sessions when they have the right kind of fuel + hydration in and around workouts
And this can make all the difference in their training and recovery, it can set them apart from the competition.
Most competitive gymnasts never learn how to properly fuel and hydration during 20-30+ hours a week of training. And this is a big part of what keeps most from reaching their big goals and dreams.

Hear what parents say about our approach to fueling the high level gymnast…
As a parent, I wanted my children to understand fueling their bodies correctly isn’t a bad thing, even though some of their teammates make fun of them for the pre, during and post workout meals and snacks they eat.
We had no idea how important carbohydrates were for performance as we’d been told that gymnast’s didn’t need them, they were “fattening”, etc. We were wrong, and my gymnast now feels SO MUCH better at gym!
About Christina Anderson RDN
Hi! I’m Christina Anderson MS, RDN, CSSD, CSP, LD, a board certified pediatric/adolescent registered dietitian sports nutritionist.
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.
I’m SO excited to see you inside the workshop!
Your workshops are excellent! My gymnast has been taking things from your previous sessions and has been implementing changes to be fueled up for practice. Thank you!
The workshop was SO helpful. As a working mom with 3 children (2 of which are gymnasts, 1 plays another sport) this was what I needed. I now feel like I know what I’m doing with planning their meals/snacks while on the go all the time.
By the end of this workshop, you and your gymnast will have a game-plan for managing nutrition while navigating a busy competition season.
