GSN Wins Top Protein Meals at the Gymfluencers.com 2026 Awards
GSN has just picked up national recognition, winning the Top Protein Meals category at the Gymfluencers.com 2026 Awards.
For anyone who’s been relying on GSN to stay on track when life gets busy, this is a big moment because it backs up what customers have been telling us for years: convenient, high-protein meals can still be properly tasty, nutritionally balanced and easy to stick with.
A tried-and-tested brand, built in Yorkshire since 2012
GSN (Gold Standard Nutrition) was founded in 2012 by Yorkshire-born Craig Allen, with one simple goal: make healthy eating easy for everyone.
What started with 10 second-hand freezers and a decommissioned Tesco delivery truck has grown into a national frozen food brand, headquartered in Selby, with the GSN high protein ready meals now available in more than 1,000 locations across the UK, including major retailers, gyms and convenience stores.
More than 10 million high-protein ready meals sold in the UK
GSN recently celebrated selling more than 10 million meals in the UK. That matters, because it’s not a one-off trend or a flash-in-the-pan product, it’s a brand people have chosen again and again.
If you’re a gym-goer, or just someone trying to eat better without living in the kitchen, that kind of track record is exactly what you want in your freezer. A nutritious, high protein and low calorie ready meal you can trust to deliver, week after week.
Why the Gymfluencers.com judges chose GSN
The Gymfluencers Awards recognise leading brands and products in the health and fitness industry. The judges praised GSN for its hassle-free approach to premium nutrition, and for making convenient frozen food healthier.
Craig Allen, CEO and founder of GSN, said:
“We’re a bootstrapped Yorkshire business, built from the ground up since 2012. We’ve always lived by one motto at GSN - we’re not here to be the biggest, we’re here to be the best, so we’re really proud to have received this national recognition. Every award like this is proof that all the hard work and sacrifice is paying off. “At GSN, our mission from the very beginning has been to make healthy eating more accessible, more affordable and more enjoyable for everyone. To be recognised for that by the industry is a genuinely proud moment for me and the whole GSN team.”
