Our Authors

The British team behind every FitNEXT guide.

A small group of qualified coaches, registered nutritionists, sports psychologists and clinicians who write what they would teach in person.

Every author below trains, eats and lives in the United Kingdom. We list real people with real credentials so you can decide who to trust before you take their advice. Each name links to the articles they have written for FitNEXT.
