Welcome

Welcome to Big 5 Fitness Level One Nutrition

What does it mean to be part of the Big 5 Team?  

It means you are joining the best and most supportive group of health and fitness professionals in the West, we are heaps of fun and you will get results from our tried and tested programs.   You are also joining an amazing group of like minded Westies who are all on a journey to improve their health and fitness, and ultimately their lives.


The Big 5 Team comes in all shapes and sizes and from different backgrounds too.  We love the fact that in our clubs we hear lots of different accents (and that’s just the staff) and we laugh a lot, because we don’t take life too seriously as that’s no fun, but we do take your health and fitness really seriously and we know how to change lifestyles into healthstyles for the better. We will give you the facts and that starts now… 

The key to getting fit and healthy is getting your nutrition and exercise right, as you can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet and if you don’t fuel your body properly you won’t get the results you want from your exercise! All our programs are tried and tested and we keep improving our programs as we learn too!  

Our Big 5 Challenge program does what it says, follow our nutrition and exercise plan for 28 days and you will see some amazing results.  We try to keep things as easy as possible so we have created this toolkit filled with info and recipes, so you can get rapid results, whilst making your nutrition and exercise really simple, so here’s what you are going to do:

Follow a simple set of Big 5 Program Rules: 
  • Nutrition – follow our recommended food list and portion control guidelines –calorie counting not required. 
  • Exercise – train with the Big 5 Team. We recommend 3-5 sessions a week. 
  • Drink – 6-8 glass of water a day to stay hydrated and no soft drinks or alcohol. 
  • Sleep – 7+ hours a night so your body can recharge and repair. 
  • Accountability – track what you’re doing and check in weekly with your coach.
  • Facebook check ins – to help us help more people. Once a week at least, check in on Facebook at Big 5 Fitness. 
There are 2 phases:
  • Phase 1 – Week 1 – this is the kick start week where you are re-setting your body
  • Phase 2 – Weeks 2 – 4 – these are the weeks where you are re-balancing your body 

The 28 Day Challenge toolkit gives you all the information you need so you know what to do, how to do it and when to do it.  Whilst recognising you are not a robot, you can choose to vary the plan along the way with the toolkit providing guidance on how to make the best swaps for the phase.

At the end of the day it is your choice what you put in your mouth and it’s your choice to go your training sessions, and the effort you put in.  Our job is to make sure you have the right information, and help you every step of the way so you can make the best possible decisions to get the results you want. We are not going to pretend it’s going to be easy and we are not prescribing a magic pill, it’s going to take commitment on your part.  The Big 5 Team will keep you motivated, accountable and encourage you to achieve your goals throughout the program, as that’s what we love to do – see you achieve amazing results and ultimately change your life!
