3- Working with a trainer that has experience training clients on semaglutides and that understand the metabolic changesĀ
Have you been losing weight and taking semaglutides (Ozempic or others)? Have you been thinking about taking a semaglutide to help you lose weight?
Over the last year+ I have worked with many more clients on different versions on semaglutides like Ozempic. Over half of my newer clients have started working with me after months of taking their weekly shots. Some personal trainers and individuals around fitness see this as a bad thing, a fad, or something people should avoid. I see it as a great tool that can help people while they try to figure out what changes they need to make. I have clients with stories about how the semaglutide helped them start losing weight so they felt ready to workout again. Some felt self conscious working out until they lost the first 10-15lbs. Some lost a little weight and felt more energized and that motivated them to start working with a personal trainer. These are all great things if it is leading to a healthier life and future. While I do believe the semaglutides are a great tool to get someone started, help them lose large amounts of weight, buy them some time to figure out their eating habits, and help them start being physically active again. This still means action needs to be taken. That is when working with an experienced knowledgable trainer is helpful along the process of changing your life and losing weight. While the weight loss is HUGE we also need to make sure muscle mass is maintained or gained for better long term health and for better weight management once you are at your ideal body weight from the semaglutide.
My goal as a trainer is to always help my clients figure out healthy physical activity habits that work for them and are best for them.
