Pre-PREP PROGRAM
The Foundation Phase is Gro Nutrition’s Pre-Prep Coaching Program, designed for women who want to compete — but aren’t quite stage-ready yet.
Across 12 weeks, you'll build the habits, strength, structure, and mindset needed for a successful future prep.
Available as an online coaching experience (phone + video check-ins) or in a face-to-face in-person format at our North Richmond studio.This is where smart prep begins.

OFF SEASON COACHING
The Off-Season Phase is designed for experienced competitors who are ready to grow, refine, and improve between shows.
This 16 week coaching block focuses on muscle development, hormonal recovery, and long-term strategy — not just maintenance.Available in both online and in-person formats, it’s the phase where champions are built, not just maintained.
Unlike our Pre-Prep program, this is for athletes who have already competed and are focused on progression, not first-time prep readiness.

![COMP PREP]()
COMP PREP
Gro Nutrition’s Comp Prep Coaching is our full 16-week competition phase — built for women ready to step on stage with confidence.
This is our most structured, hands-on coaching block, including tailored training, precise nutrition, posing support, and peak week planning.
You can choose a fully remote program with weekly online check-ins, or a more hands-on experience that includes in-person PT and posing support. Whatever path you choose, your prep will be purposeful, grounded, and built around you. -

POST SHOW AND RECOVERY
The Reset Phase is a 6-week post-show coaching program focused on recovery, reverse dieting, and restoring balance after comp.
It supports your body and mind as you transition out of prep — helping stabilise hormones, boost energy, and refocus your goals.
Delivered remotely through weekly check-ins and voice feedback, it offers structure without pressure.
You don’t need to be a current Gro athlete to join - all athletes welcome.
⚡️ Build Muscle. Master Posing. Compete with Confidence.⚡️
