Supplements and nutrition are hot topics in the fitness industry. We aim to cover all the latest information and look past fads and trends to the real evidence behind the diets.
PT Monthly will look at a variety of different supplements and diets, so you can make up your own mind on what to eat and what you want to recommend to your clients.
We are not here to dictate or endorse certain products or regimes, instead we want to give personal trainers an all round guide to what’s out there so that you can make an informed choice.
The magazine will include recipes, discussions with dieticians and new scientific studies.
