The Ozempic Era - What Fitness Professionals Need to Know About GLP-1s Weight Loss and Muscle

The GLP-1 wave has hit. Whether it’s Ozempic, Wegovy, or compounded semaglutide, your clients are using it - and the fitness industry isn’t ready. This session breaks down what trainers must understand: what GLP-1s do metabolically, how they affect hunger, muscle mass, recovery, and mood, and what to watch for when coaching clients on them. We’ll cover red flags, recovery mismatches, and how to adapt programs safely without overstepping scope.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Understand the metabolic and physiological impact of GLP-1 medications.
  • Identify risks for sarcopenia, underfueling, and exercise intolerance.
  • Adjust training programming and communication without breaching scope.
