Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just getting into endurance events, one thing’s for sure: fueling and hydration can make or break your performance.
Our “Hydration Edge” is a revolutionary approach that transforms how athletes create their personalized fueling and hydration strategy. This isn’t just another nutrition plan; it’s a precision-engineered method that puts you in complete control of your athletic performance.
The cold, hard truth is that your fueling plan should never be a carbon copy of your training partner’s, a professional athlete’s, or an influencer’s recommendation. Your body is unique, and your nutrition strategy must be equally distinctive. Generic approaches are performance killers that keep you stuck in a cycle of uncertainty and underperformance.
We use advanced sweat testing to unlock the most critical piece of the performance puzzle: your specific electrolyte and fluid losses. This isn’t about guesswork—it’s about science. By understanding your exact sweat profile, we can create a tailored plan that works specifically for your body, your race distance, and your individual needs.
The Fueling & Hydration Bootcamp is a personalized fueling and hydration system for endurance athletes backed by sweat testing, endurance science, and real-world athlete experience.

Chris Newport and her dedicated team of experts have been refining this process for over 15 years.
Witnessing athletes (including herself!) discouraged by cramps, GI issues, and other problems during races and training, she aimed to perfect the sweat testing process.
Leveraging the latest research and her extensive experience as an endurance athlete, exercise physiologist, and nutritionist, she developed the Fueling & Hydration Bootcamp to guide athletes on proper fueling and hydration, helping more athletes succeed.

This isn’t just another online course — this is your ticket to finishing strong, feeling incredible, and crossing the finish line with confidence.
Chris Newport is a dietitian, exercise physiologist, and endurance athlete, who has spent years developing and fine-tuning these exact strategies. She’s helped athletes go from struggling (and DNF’ing) to hitting personal bests and standing on podiums. What you’ll learn inside the Fueling & Hydration Bootcamp is backed by real science, tested in the real world, and built on strategies most athletes never even discover.
Working one-on-one with Chris Newport on fueling and hydration can cost significantly more and doesn’t include the full system, tools, templates, and bonuses included in this bootcamp.
The Fueling & Hydration Bootcamp combines years of endurance nutrition experience, athlete testing, and proven systems into one streamlined process for just $397.
It’s the difference between:
The system you’ll gain could save you thousands in wasted race entries, prevent costly health mistakes, and help you finally race the way you’ve trained. And it works across any sport or distance.
Your hard work deserves better.
Your body deserves better.
You deserve better.
What does the home sweat test kit involve?
Our home sweat testing kit will be mailed directly to you, so you can do this anywhere in the United States! It is a completely painless process (and app-free!).
I’m training for my first half marathon, Olympic triathlon, marathon, half ironman, ironman, ultra run, is this for me?
Absolutely! Why invest all that time and money into doing a long endurance event to fail, feel like junk or even risk your health. This is a tiny investment to help you fuel and hydrate properly so you finish with confidence, energy and your health!
First-time athletes often struggle the most with fueling, and that’s precisely why we created this comprehensive guide. Whether you’re tackling your first half marathon or pushing into your first triathlon, you’ll get a tailored approach that takes the guesswork out of performance nutrition. We’ll help you avoid the common pitfalls that derail most first-time athletes, giving you the confidence and strategy to crush your goals.
I’ve done many endurance events, but I still seem to struggle with GI issues, cramping, nausea, passing out, etc, can you help?
Yup, so long as you’re willing to learn and be part of the process.
We teach you about how your gut (and working muscles) work during exercise, so you can understand the various potential causes for issues. In fact, we’ve uncovered medical conditions in this process, including POTS, Crohn’s, anemias, Celiac disease, allergies, SIBO, bacterial infections, and more. While we cannot make a medical diagnosis, you may be encouraged to visit your healthcare provider to do additional investigation! Our nutritionists can help with testing for food sensitivities, gut testing, micronutrient testing and more, but it’s always important to have a team of healthcare professionals to guide you.
I‘m nervous that I’m going to screw up the sweat test. Help!
If you’re able to follow simple instructions (with pictures), you can’t screw it up! Out of the hundreds of home sweat test kits that we’ve sent out, we’ve not had an issue with getting samples back (knock on wood). If you can put on band-aids, weigh yourself and exercise, you’ll be able to do it, no problem!
I’m local, can I pick up and drop off my sweat test to get my results faster?
Yes, if you’d like, just message us in the portal. We’ll address it anyway (just in case–plus, we need to identify your sample).
I’ve already done a sweat test (or just don’t want one), do you offer a discount?
Yes, you’ll get 50% off the price of the program (you’ll need to contact us for the coupon code). You’ll just need to know your electrolyte losses in mg/oz of your sweat. However, if your sweat test was done WITHOUT sweating, it’s not a valid method and you’ll need to use our kit.
I can’t make the live calls or I’ll be traveling/out of town. Should I skip it?
If you have access to the internet, you’ll be able to follow along via the modules, watch the replays and insert your questions/challenges via our community chat, so that you’re learning alongside the group and getting the most out of the program.
I’m injured and can’t exercise right now. Should I still participate?
That’s a tough one. We’d ideally like you to be tracking your sweat losses in order to predict what you’ll need for race day. If you can’t do that, it’s probably best to wait until our next cohort comes out.
How much does the program cost?
The full value of this bootcamp is $1497. You can grab the entire Fueling & Hydration Bootcamp for just $397.
What topics will you cover?
We’ll cover everything from the “basics” of fueling and hydration, like timing, carb needs and fluid needs, plus more advanced concepts like:
Do I need to weigh myself regularly? And do I need a fancy scale?
Yes, in the context of fluid losses. You can still be clothed when you do it. BUT, if you’re currently being treated for an eating disorder, or find weighing yourself triggering, we’d recommend not doing this program. If you can objectively weigh yourself, then you’ll be just fine. Your scale can be simple or fancy, so long as you can take those numbers and enter them in a spreadsheet, then you’ll be good to go.
I struggle to exercise in the heat, so I train a lot indoors, is that ok?
Yup, and you’ll find out why. Methods of cooling and various tips and tricks are going to be covered. Oh, and you’re not alone ;)
