Personalised nutrition coaching in Poole from Sofia Rufus — Commonwealth Gold medallist, IPF World medallist, and qualified nutritionist. No crash diets. Just a plan that fits your real life.
The diet advice
that actually works.
If you've been training hard and not seeing the results you expected — nutrition is almost always the missing piece. Not a crash diet. Not cutting everything out. Just a practical plan that works alongside your training and fits your actual life.
Our nutrition coaching is led by Sofia Rufus — Commonwealth Gold medallist, IPF World medallist, and qualified nutritionist. She specialises in women 35+ and understands the hormonal shifts, the changing metabolism, the feeling that nothing is working the way it used to. She's lived it herself and coaches from the inside out.
Her approach is practical, sustainable and built around your real life. No crash diets, no food elimination, no unsustainable protocols. A plan you can actually follow — that produces results you can actually keep.

Training and nutrition together is the thing that changes everything. We've seen people train hard for years with little to show for it — and transform in 6 weeks once the nutrition piece clicks.

Nothing you don't.

Personalised plans only
No generic meal plans. A nutrition strategy built around your goals, your lifestyle, your food preferences, and your training programme.
Training and nutrition together
Nutrition coaching at 180 is integrated with your training — not a separate thing you do alongside it. The two work together because that's how the body works.
Sustainable by design
Sofia's approach isn't about restriction. It's about building habits that last. Her members don't just change for 6 weeks — they change permanently.
Recipe books and meal plans
Every member gets practical resources — recipe books, meal plan templates, shopping guides — built around how real people actually eat.
Women 35+ specialist
Sofia specialises in the nutritional challenges of women in their 30s, 40s and 50s — hormonal shifts, perimenopause, metabolism changes. She's lived it herself and coaches from the inside out.
