About

FENElla gilson

Fenella is the founder of Fenfitnutrition, a Level 2 CrossFit coach and MNU Certified Nutritionist, specialising in small group coaching and nutrition for health and sports performance.

Fen is a born and bred South Westerner, based in Bath UK. She went full-time as a CrossFit coach in 2019 and qualified as a nutritionist in the same year, so she has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry. 

In 2022, Fen moved to London to progress her career in the big smoke, working as a CrossFit coach and personal trainer for brands such as WIT and ARC Athletics Club. She soon realised the big city life wasn’t for her and returned to Bath in March 2022.

You may or may not know Fen as she is today, but she hasn’t always been this way, don’t get us wrong, she’s always been the driven, independent and caring person she is now, but she hasn’t always been a fitness junkie. Quite the opposite in fact.

When Fen qualified as a chef she worked pretty much every hour under the sun and spent any odd day off she did get, sleeping. Having developed a bad relationship with food and unable to put her well being first, something needed to change.

Fen made the changes she needed to be able to put her own needs first and along the way she discovered CrossFit. Fast forward 7 years, she lives a happy, healthy, (fairly) balanced life - that’s always the challenge, right?!

So, let’s just say that Fen has been where you are today and we’re all on our own journeys, Fen can relate and she is here to help!

How can we support you?

At FFN when working with our 1-1 nutrition clients, we take the progressive approach - we generally tend to suggest working together for 12 weeks is a good starting point in order to implement positive and lasting change.

We use the first couple of weeks to set solid foundations, by creating habits that will set our clients up for success (both short and long term), followed by gradually implementing necessary changes to help them achieve their goals and set them up to succeed.

Our services are always personal and we will tweak and change things depending on how it works for you (this is why our weekly check-ins are so important to us).

We use our knowledge and personal experience in our practice, to help our clients and give them a top of the range service. 

Luckily for us we love what we do, so we find working alongside you guys a lot of fun! We believe this is just one of the reasons we have seen huge success across a large range of clients.

OUR Ethos

At FFN we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptionally high standard of service, by not only individualising every piece of advice we give, but making it realistically achievable for you in both long and short term.

No matter where you are on your journey, we can help you. We consult for athletes and individuals who consider themselves active, but also with clients who have little or no exercise history.

We believe that the health and fitness industry is one of the most warped, overwhelmed and profitable markets out there. The majority of advice, products and programmes are fundamentally wrong and in a lot of cases can be very damaging to your health, both physically and mentally.

This is where we are different! We use evidence-based guidance to help you to rid of the myths that are floating around within the industry and are commonly trusted and followed.

We provide a very personal service which can support you to better your diet, exercise, mentality and even your outlook on life. Here at FFN we can also give you advice and guidance that will empower you to make big changes to your life and to help you achieve your goals, whilst not having to give up everything you enjoy - nor will we make you follow any crazy fad diets!

Many of our clients come to us having been failed by other weight loss groups or 'experts'; often they complain of having chronically lowered energy, bad skin, terrible sleep, IBS etc. We hope that you will save yourself wasted time and money and come to us first.

We can help you to transform your life today!
