Specialist 1–1 personal training and nutrition support in Glasgow for people using GLP-1 weight-loss medication.
What is GLP-1?
GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments used to support weight management. Medications such as Wegovy and Mounjaro work by influencing appetite and feelings of fullness, which can make it easier to reduce food intake and lose weight.
While these medications can be an effective weight-loss tool but they don't replace the importance of good nutrition, resistance training and healthy lifestyle habits. That's where the right coaching can make a difference.
Why exercise matters on GLP-1
Weight loss isn't just about the number on the scales.
When you're losing weight rapidly, the goal should be to maximise fat loss while retaining as much muscle, strength and physical function as possible.
That's why resistance training, adequate protein and sensible nutrition are central to our GLP-1 coaching.

FAQ about Personal Training & GLP-1
Can I exercise while taking Mounjaro or Wegovy?
Yes. Physical activity is an important part of a healthy weight-loss journey, and both Mounjaro and Wegovy are intended to be used alongside diet and increased physical activity. Your training should be appropriate for your current fitness, health and energy levels.
Should I strength train while taking GLP-1
medication?
Yes, in most cases strength training is a great choice. During weight loss, some lean mass can be lost alongside body fat. Resistance training can help maintain strength, muscle function and lean tissue while you lose weight.
How much protein should I eat while taking GLP-1?
There isn't one protein target that's right for everyone. Your needs depend on factors such as your body weight, activity levels and goals. As part of your coaching, we'll help you set an appropriate protein target and show you practical ways to reach it while your appetite may be reduced.
What if I struggle to eat enough because my appetite is low?
Reduced appetite is one of the reasons GLP-1 medications can help with weight loss. We'll help you focus on food quality, protein and a manageable eating structure rather than simply trying to eat more. If you're struggling to eat or drink adequately, experiencing persistent nausea or vomiting, or are concerned about side effects, you should speak to the healthcare professional managing your medication.
Can personal training help prevent muscle loss?
Resistance training is one of the best tools we have for helping preserve strength and lean tissue during weight loss. Our coaching focuses on progressive strength training, adequate nutrition and protein while tracking your performance as your body weight changes.
I'm completely new to the gym — can I still start?
Absolutely. You don't need any previous gym experience. Your programme will be built around your current ability, and we'll teach you how to perform each exercise safely and confidently before gradually progressing your training.
What happens if my energy levels are low?
We adapt. Not every session needs to be your hardest session. Your training can be adjusted around your energy levels, recovery and how you're feeling on the day. If you're experiencing persistent or significant symptoms that may be related to your medication, we'll encourage you to speak with your healthcare professional.
