Your Clients Are Struggling — Are You Trained to Support Them?

1 in 3 people in fitness spaces struggle with disordered eating.

But most professionals aren’t trained to spot it — or support it safely.

If a colleague shared this with you, it’s because they know you’re someone who takes your role seriously and wants to do better for your clients.
This course helps you do exactly that.

Disordered Eating Hides in Plain Sight

It looks like discipline.

“Clean” eating.

Never missing a workout.

And it’s likely showing up in your classes, sessions, and check-ins — whether you see it or not.

Without the right tools, even the most well-meaning coach can unintentionally:

  • Miss the red flags

  • Reinforce harmful patterns

  • Lose a client’s trust

This course gives you everything you need to lead with care — not harm.

Why We Created This Course

After years in the eating disorder recovery space, we saw the same pattern:

We created this course so trainers like you can do better.

So clients feel safe, seen, and supported — not judged.

This is your chance to be part of the change.
