What is GLP-1 and Why Combine it with Personal Training?

 

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are a new class of treatment originally developed for type 2 diabetes, now widely used to support weight loss. These medications help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce appetite, and slow digestion—making it easier for many people to lose weight.

 

But while GLP-1s can help reduce body weight, they don’t teach healthy habits, build fitness, or preserve muscle mass.

 

This is where personal training makes a big difference.

 

Why Personal Training Matters with GLP-1 Use:

 

✅ Muscle Retention & Strength

Weight loss through medication alone can lead to muscle loss. Resistance training helps maintain and build lean muscle, keeping your metabolism healthy and body strong.

 

✅ Improved Energy & Mobility

Training supports better posture, joint health, and stamina—making everyday tasks easier as your body changes.

 

✅ Build Healthy, Lasting Habits

Personal training helps turn temporary medication use into long-term lifestyle transformation with support, education, and accountability.
