Darwin Fitness, a leading weight loss gym in Orlando, has introduced a new personal training program to support clients using GLP-1 medications for weight loss. The program combines personalized exercise routines with nutrition coaching to enhance the effects of GLP-1 treatments and promote long-term weight management.
GLP-1 receptor agonists, like semaglutide (Wegovy and Ozempic), are well-known for helping with weight loss by increasing feelings of fullness and regulating appetite. Research shows that pairing these medications with a structured exercise program leads to better results, including preserving muscle mass and improving metabolic health. One study found that combining exercise with the GLP-1 drug liraglutide resulted in better weight loss maintenance than using the treatments separately.
Darwin Fitness offers the following services to support clients on their weight loss journey:
Customized Fitness Plans: Certified personal trainers create individualized workout routines that focus on strength training, cardio, and flexibility, designed to complement GLP-1 therapy.
Personalized Nutrition Coaching: Expert nutrition coaches guide clients on balanced diets that are rich in protein and other essential nutrients, helping maintain muscle mass and overall health.
Ongoing Support: Clients receive continuous motivation, education, and regular adjustments to their fitness and nutrition plans to keep them on track for lasting success.
Jean-Sebastien Fabre, owner of Darwin Fitness, emphasized, “While weight loss medications can help kickstart fat loss, they can’t guarantee long-term results on their own. Trust the medication, but let us create the custom lifestyle plan you need to prevent setbacks.”
This new program at Darwin Fitness aims to provide a well-rounded approach to weight loss, combining the power of GLP-1 medications with a tailored fitness and nutrition plan to support lasting change.
