Clean Health announces acquisition of Nutrition Coaching Institute

Clean Health, the trusted source of fitness education for personal trainers worldwide, has announced its acquisition of the Nutritional Coaching Institute (NCI) of the USA.

The acquisition is Clean Health’s first international acquisition, further accelerating its mission to educate over a million fitness professionals by 2028 and, in turn, positively impacting the health and wellness of tens of millions of global clients.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, NCI is North America’s leading provider of evidence-based nutrition courses and fitness business development programs for fitness professionals.

Announcing the expansion, Daine McDonald, founder and Chairman of Clean Health Group, explained “NCIs tried and tested business model has been the global benchmark in helping coaches realise their full potential. Their online nutrition and fitness business development programs and live events bridge the gap between science and application.

“We see an unprecedented opportunity to scale this community and help PTs and coaches globally ‘level up’ their nutritional science and fitness business through the Nutritional Coaching Institute, and we couldn’t be more excited about this new chapter of exponential growth.”

NCI founder, Jason Phillips noted “I created the Nutritional Coaching Institute to instil in you the tools, mindset, and confidence that coaches need to tackle any client’s toughest eating challenges. I innately understand coaching and business, and I am even more passionate about impacting the industry at scale.

“I am so excited to pass the baton to the Clean Health Group and see how they level up not only NCI but the global capabilities and skills of coaches.”

Phillips will remain the Head Business Coach for Clean Health Group students while Alan Aragon, PhD in Nutritional Science and industry veteran of over 30 years, will remain the group's Chief Science Officer.

Wyuna Partners, Arentfox Schiff, and Bartier Perry advised Clean Health during the transaction.
