Rebuilt against the lead magnet research. Both magnets are now diagnostics rather than downloads, both are named for the outcome rather than the mechanism, and both pages carry video, reviews and specified imagery. Brand basis remains gpni-brand-guidelines.md v1.0 with nothing invented outside it.
Funnel 01
Serves PNE Level-1 + ISSN-SNS. Hormozi's reveal-the-problem archetype: 40 questions drawn from the ISSN position stands produce a score and a gap breakdown, which creates the thirst the certification quenches. Module 1 is no longer the magnet, it is the reward inside the result. Score first, gate the interpretation.
Free knowledge check · 10 minutes
Forty questions drawn from the ISSN position stands. You get a score out of 40, a breakdown across the five areas where coaches most often have gaps, and the module that closes your largest one, free.

Question 1 of 3
What you get at the end
Your knowledge check
27 / 40
Median score across [N] completions: [N] / 40
Your largest gap is supplements and ergogenic aids. Module 5 of PNE Level-1 covers it, including the ISSN evidence grading for groups A, B and C. We have opened it for you at no cost.
Illustrative report. Your own bars reflect your answers.
“As a qualified nutritionist myself, I learned a great deal more about sports nutrition than I had originally imagined. Having access to the researchers themselves, and working with the most up to date evidence, is what makes this certification different.”Ana Terra, qualified nutritionist, ISSN-SNS
Step 2
Two fields. Your score arrives with the gap breakdown, the position stands behind each question you missed, and access to the module that closes your largest gap.
You are not put on a call list. There is one follow-up email a week later asking whether the module was useful, and you can stop it in one click.
Free, and the module with it.
We use your email to send the report and the module. Nothing else is shared.
Why this check exists
Most coaches are asked about protein timing, creatine, hydration and supplements every week, and most were never taught where the evidence actually sits. The check shows you which of those questions you can already answer from the literature and which you are answering from habit.
Give general, evidence-based sports nutrition guidance within your scope of practice, cite the position stand behind your advice, and hold the ISSN-SNS designation. It does not make you a Registered Dietitian and does not authorise medical nutrition therapy.
ACE 5.5, NASM 1.9, AFAA 1.5. Credit values and policies may differ from those published by the ISSN because of local regulation. Confirm with your own certifying body before you enrol.
From people who finished it
Selected because each names something specific about the teaching rather than the outcome.
“The SNS course was a challenge for me, as I have no prior educational background on this topic, but professional teaching, a well-structured outline and access to the latest science information connected all aspects to a coherent picture of sports nutrition.”
“I was looking for a course that combined theoretical knowledge and practical experience for many years. I was impressed with the course flow, the blend of on-demand content together with live online tutorials and the class group.”
“The depth of the knowledge you will learn on this course goes above and beyond. It will set you apart as a fitness professional.”

Ten minutes, 40 questions
You will know your score before you give us anything. The report and the module follow if you want them.
Start the knowledge check“I was impressed with the new knowledge I gained, and the course flow.”Lenka Sutra, ISSN-SNS
The magnet moved from sample to diagnostic. Hormozi's three archetypes are reveal-a-problem, sample-the-solution, and one-step-of-a-process. Version 1 used the second. The research is clear that the first converts harder for a considered purchase, because a sample invites a verdict on quality while a diagnostic creates a gap the buyer now wants closed. Module 1 has not been dropped, it has been demoted from the offer to the reward inside the result, which is exactly the salty-pretzel sequence: solve a narrow problem completely, reveal the larger one.
The name now states an outcome. "Module 1, free" described a mechanism. "Score your sports nutrition knowledge" states what the buyer walks away with, and the sub-head carries the MAGIC elements: 40 questions, 10 minutes, five areas, drawn from the ISSN position stands. Specificity is the persuasion, which is what makes it work without a single banned word.
The score is shown before the gate. Three sample questions run with no signup, and the gate collects two fields, not four. Each additional field costs roughly 4 percent of conversion, and the quiz answers already do the segmenting that the role and country dropdowns were doing in version 1.
Video, reviews and imagery added as the client asked. One video, click-to-play, 75 seconds, founder to camera, captions on, above the fold as support rather than replacement. Reviews sit beside the benefit and again at the CTA. Imagery is specified rather than filled, because guidelines 7.3 bars stock models presented as students or faculty and bars any identifiable person without a release on file. Those slots become real photographs the moment releases exist.
Funnel 02
Serves PNE Level-2 Masters + ISSN-CISSN. Eligibility plus readiness, not eligibility alone. The verdict is personalised, the qualifying visitor is offered a real module from the Level-2 curriculum, and the non-qualifying visitor is handed to Funnel 01 rather than lost.
Free route check · 2 minutes
Four routes lead to the ISSN-CISSN designation and most practitioners are already on one of them without knowing it. Answer one question and you get your route, what your existing qualification is worth, and what is left to complete.

“The CISSN credential is great. It is essential if you are working with both recreational and elite athletes.”Arlene Semeco, RD, CISSN
Step 2
Two fields. You get your route in writing, the entry criteria it rests on, and a module from the Level-2 curriculum so you can judge the depth before you commit USD 1,487.00.
The booking link for the 20-minute call with a GPNi PhD comes with it. Booking is optional and there is no call unless you book one.
Free, with a Level-2 module.
We use your email to send the summary and the module. Your route is used to send the correct entry criteria and nothing else.
Included with enrolment
Scheduled in your own time zone. Not a sales call and not run by sales. The purpose is to place you on the correct route and answer what a syllabus cannot.
Whether your qualification satisfies the entry requirement, how the case study and presentation assessments work, and a realistic completion timeline against your current client load.
Discount negotiation, enrolment pressure, or a decision on the call. You have the route summary in writing first, and the call is optional after that.
From CISSN graduates
Each names something specific about the depth or the faculty rather than the outcome.
“The CISSN credential is great. It is essential if you are working with both recreational and elite athletes.”
“Being a fitness professional I have been searching for quality sports nutrition courses in depth, and I was very happy to study the CISSN certification course. It provides much detail in the sports nutrition field.”
“I am already a nutrition coach, but I wanted specifically to learn about sports nutrition, and to learn it from the researchers themselves.”
The syllabus
Published in full before purchase. Modules 7 and 8 are why practitioners who already know the science still take this.
Ethics and legal, career overview, then a deep read of the position stands for exercise, diet and nutrients.
Macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, macronutrient metabolism in exercise and training.
Advanced skeletal muscular system, energy balancing, metabolic systems, thermoregulation, hormones.
Client evaluation, body composition measurement, dietary strategies with evidence behind them.
Everyday through professional athletes, the science of weight-cutting, IOC and supplements in professional sport.
Fundamentals applied to worked cases.
Presenting, teaching strategy, leadership.
Reputation, branding against marketing, building an online presence.
Case study report requirements and exam review strategy.

Eligibility became eligibility plus readiness, and the verdict is now explicit. Version 1 returned a route. This version leads with a plain verdict tag, "you qualify" or "one step first", because the buyer's blocking question is binary and answering it in the first line is what makes the result feel like a diagnosis rather than a brochure.
A Level-2 module now ships with the summary. The research is unambiguous that a genuine sample of the paid product produces the highest free-to-paid conversion of any magnet type, because the person who completes it has experienced what buying feels like. On a USD 1,487.00 purchase that matters more than on the Level-1 page.
Route E is a handoff, not a rejection. The visitor who does not qualify is routed to Funnel 01 with the knowledge check offered, which converts the single largest source of wasted traffic on this page into the top of the other funnel.
The CEC renewal question moved into a consent checkbox. It captures the Pin 2 segment without adding a required field, keeping the gate at two.
