About Forte Nutrition Coaching
Hi, I’m Gemma — a certified Nutrition Coach and endurance sport enthusiast. I know what it feels like to push through training sessions on empty, to chase performance while juggling body image pressures, and to hit that frustrating wall when your energy runs out. I’ve been there myself, and I’ve learned first-hand how much of a difference the right fuelling can make.
That’s why I started Forte Nutrition Coaching: to help athletes of all levels fuel smarter, perform better, and feel their best, without sacrificing health in the process.
I work with:
-
Athletes battling energy crashes or gut issues before, during, or after training
-
Newcomers to endurance sports who feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition advice
-
Racers gearing up for big events who want to feel strong, confident, and ready on race day
-
Experienced athletes chasing those last 1–2% performance gains that can turn a good race into a great one
My approach is simple: evidence-based, practical, and completely tailored to you. Together, we’ll build a fuelling plan that fits your training, lifestyle, and goals — whether that’s finishing your first 10k, qualifying for an AG triathlon, or taking on an Ironman.
Nutrition isn’t about quick fixes or striving for perfection. It’s about creating a sustainable routine that supports your body, your performance, and your mindset. With the right guidance and accountability, you’ll gain the clarity and confidence to train smarter, recover better, and race stronger.
"Gemma has changed how I view my fuelling and this was super important for Brighton marathon. She helped build my confidence with fuelling my sessions before, during and after, as well as supporting me through the tough times. I have never had the best fuelling around exercise so was excited to do a proper carb load that Gemma planned. It worked a treat and I ran a 45 minute PB!"

"Gemma has really helped me to focus on nutrition and improve my performance. She broke everything down into really small steps so I could begin to bake nutrition into my training plan. I finished my Olympic tri feeling really good, 40 minutes faster than planned - without the nutrition plan I doubt that would have been the case!"
