Personal Training to Support Weight Loss Drugs
Personal Training When Using Ozempic, Wegovy, and Similar Medications
Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and other similar weight loss drugs are transforming people’s lives. Our personal training expertise means we can support you on this kind of weight loss journey – helping you to make sure you’re the slimmer version of you is also the healthiest version of you.
GLP-1 Angonists and Tirzepatides are highly effective medications, but they sometimes have side effects, including reduced muscle mass, decreased bone density, a slowed metabolism, and diminished energy levels. Working with experienced personal trainers who understand how these medications are changing your body can completely change your experience and the end result.

A Realistic, Positive View of Ozempic and Weight Loss Medication
Lots of personal trainers and fitness influencers have a narrow view of what weight management should involve. You’ve no doubt heard people say “eat less and move more” as a grossly over-simplified view of how people should live their lives or work towards their health and fitness goals.
At Fitness Lab, we don’t believe in these kinds of platitudes. Weight loss can be extremely hard – especially since we live in a busy world where we’re rarely far from convenient, calorie-dense food.
If you’ve decided that Wegovy, Ozempic, or other weight loss medications are right for you, your personal trainer will be 100% behind you. We’ll help you add exercise to your week to ensure you’re toned, flexible, and healthy moving forward.
How Can a Personal Trainer Support Your Weight Loss?
Ozempic and other semaglutide medications will help you quickly lose weight – however, being slimmer won’t automatically make you more healthy. Adding a manageable strength training habit to your week will help you in a number of significant ways:
- Strength training helps maintain lean muscle mass during rapid weight loss from medication.
- Exercise boosts energy levels, counteracting fatigue caused by medication.
- Physical activity can ease nausea, bloating, and digestive issues linked to medication use.
- Regular exercise increases metabolism, preventing slowdowns during weight loss.
- Exercise releases endorphins, improving mood and reducing stress from possible side effects.
A Different Workout Experience
Exercising at Fitness Lab isn’t like working out at a public gym. You’ll be working with a highly-qualified personal trainer in your own “pod” space – a part of our appointment-only studio that’s exclusively yours when you’re here.
As well as being spotlessly clean and perfectly presented, your space has everything you need for you workout – from world-class weights and cardio equipment through to mats, rollers and towels.
Crucially, our pod system gives you privacy. That means there’s no feeling of being watched while you exercise, there’s no queuing to use machines, and you never have to worry about wiping equipment down before you use it.
Real People, Real Stories, Real Results

A Completely Personalised Experience
Fitness Lab’s personal training clients never, ever get a one-size-fits-all training program. Your plan will be absolutely unique to you, factoring in your likes, dislikes, exercise history, prior injuries, and your unique goals.
This process starts with our free consultation. As well as giving you a chance to take a look at our facilities, meet the personal trainer we think will be able to best support you, and chat about your goals – it means your coach can get a feel for what your program should look like if you decide we’re a good fit for you.
Support That Goes Beyond Our Studios
Using weight management medication will likely bring a lot of changes to your life – with possible differences in how you need to eat, your desire to eat, changes to alcohol consumption and tolerance, blood suagr levels, and much more.
Your coach isn’t just here to support you with your strength training techniques in the studio – they’re going to be able to offer advice and support around all of these changes, whenever you need it.
Fitness Lab isn’t a typical personal training service – we’re here to help you make sure you’re moving better, looking better, feeling better, and performing better – whatever that involves for you.

We do everything we can to be the best personal training service in London, and that effort is reflected in our customers’ feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do personal training while taking Ozempic or other weight loss injections?
Absolutely — and it’s highly recommended. Medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) can significantly curb appetite and help with weight loss, but they can also lead to muscle loss if you’re not strength training.
At Fitness Lab, we design personal training programs specifically to preserve lean muscle or even encourage muscle growth while you’re on these medications. That means better long-term outcomes, a stronger metabolism, and a healthier body composition overall.
What kind of training is best when I’m on GLP-1s like Ozempic or Wegovy?
Strength training is essential while using GLP-1s — these medications often lead to muscle loss alongside fat. Preserving muscle helps maintain metabolism, strength, and long-term weight stability.
We’ll design a personalised resistance training plan that supports your goals and adjusts to your energy levels. For cardio, we won’t push exhausting circuits — instead, we’ll guide you toward light, sustainable movement like walking or cycling to complement your strength sessions.
Will personal training help prevent muscle loss during weight loss on these medications?
Yes — this is one of the biggest benefits of personal training during medical weight loss. GLP-1s help reduce fat mass, but without regular resistance training, the body may also shed muscle. Losing muscle can slow down your metabolism and impact long-term results.
Our trainers focus on muscle-preserving (and ideally muscle-building) protocols, combined with smart progression and recovery strategies. We’ll also talk to you about protein intake and other lifestyle habits to support lean mass retention.
We’ve taken a more detailed look at this in our blog: Muscle Loss on Weight Loss Meds: Why Strength Training is Essential.
I’m thinking of stopping Ozempic soon — can personal training help with that transition?
Definitely — this is one of the most important windows for support.
When people stop GLP-1 medications without a plan in place, weight gain is common. We work with clients who are coming off these medications to create a solid foundation of strength, fitness, and healthy habits. That includes managing hunger signals, reintroducing structured nutrition, and staying consistent with workouts so your metabolism stays healthy and weight regain is less likely.
In fact, we’ve put together a detailed blog on this very subject: Transitioning off Weight Loss Drugs: How Can Exercise Help?
Do I need to tell my trainer if I’m using weight loss medication?
It’s enormously helpful for you and your trainer if you do, yes — and don’t worry, you’ll be met with understanding, not judgment.
Knowing you’re on Ozempic, Mounjaro, or any other medication helps us tailor your program more effectively. It affects how we think about your energy levels, recovery, appetite, and body composition goals. We’re here to work with your unique situation — not against it.
