Sophie Straith
It's never JUST about nutrition. I love helping people work towards their life goals.
Sophie is the co-owner of one of the first CrossFit boxes in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and has been enjoying the challenge that CrossFit offers since 2008. Being an avid CrossFitter and competitor, Sophie wanted to take her fitness to the next level and started working towards improving her own nutrition. After seeing great results in and out of the gym for herself, she was inspired to learn more about the science behind nutrition and decided to take the required certifications in order to coach her own clients.
Sophie is passionate about helping her clients work towards their goals and achieve the best results. Whether they want to lean out, gain muscle, improve their sports performance or simply create a better relationship with food, Sophie has the experience and is ready to help!
Client Testimonials
Gareth A.
"Easy, professional and holistic in the approach to training, nutrition and life. Sophie has taken me to a place where I am confident and clear on what I need to do in order to be healthy inside and outside the gym. She is realistic and realizes there are lots of other factors that affect the day to day life. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who seeks a consultative approach to their nutrition."
Charice L.
"Sophie also helped me reach several goals, one of them was to cut weight to compete in a lower weight class for weightlifting. since it was a big cut, we planned way ahead for it(months ahead) with appropriate maintenance for several months before I shifted to a cut. As a client, I wanted to cut right away but Sophie helped me understand how it wouldn’t be healthy for me in the long run. I really appreciated her expertise and how she really had my health in mind, and just what I was seeking for in the short term."
Leah P.
"Sophie has a true gift. She is personable, funny, intelligent and direct...all things I needed to be able to transition to different coaching and compete at a high level!"

Strategies for Unpacking the "What-if's" in your Nutrition Journey
One of the biggest concerns that clients have around consistency is what to do when they can’t control their meals fully. “What do I do when I’m not 100% in control of the food I’m going to eat? What if I’m not cooking it? What if I can’t use my scale? What if I’m at a restaurant, work dinner, baby shower, picnic, etc.” These ‘what if’s’ can often become bottlenecks to finding consistency. We'll talk through some strategies to employ to find consistency even when you’re not 100% in control of the food you’re eating. We’ll also tackle two important things: understanding your goals and personal nutrition journey and the role of perfectionism and mindset in achieving your goals.
