Ozempic, GLP-1 Drugs & The Fitness Industry: A Match Made In Heaven?

Gyms and health clubs may soon have clinics where members can get prescriptions for Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight loss medications. Equinox gyms have a “GLP-1 Protocol,” a personal training program designed to help people preserve muscle while taking Ozempic. Even Weightwatchers now has an “GLP-1 Program.” For gyms, this means access to more members and personal training clients. But are gyms and personal trainers prepared for this?

About Me

 

For over 30 years, I’ve been sorting nutrition facts from fiction, busting myths, and helping people understand dietary supplements using clinical research as my litmus test. 

 

I have an MS in exercise science and a BS in biology & chemistry. I’ve written several books, including Rhabdo, the first book about exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis.
