Customized personal training for individuals using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound.
Our personal training programs are designed to help you maintain strength, preserve lean muscle, and improve body composition while you lose weight.
GLP-1 medications can be extremely effective for weight loss, but they often come with a downside—losing muscle along with fat.
When calorie intake drops significantly, your body doesn’t just burn fat. Without the right training stimulus, it can also break down muscle. Over time, this can lead to:
The missing piece for most people on GLP-1 medications is structured strength training.
At The Summit, we design training programs specifically for individuals using weight loss medications.
This is not random exercise or high-intensity workouts for the sake of sweating. Every program is built around preserving muscle while your body is in a calorie deficit.
Your training plan will focus on:
We learn about your goals, your experience with GLP-1 medications, and your training history.
Your workouts are built around your current strength, mobility, and energy levels.
Every session is coached and adjusted in real time to make sure you’re progressing safely.
As your weight changes, your program evolves to ensure you continue to maintain muscle and strength.
Strength training is one of the most important things you can do while losing weight on GLP-1 medications.

The Summit Personal Training Studios works with clients throughout Philadelphia, including Washington Square, Rittenhouse Square, and Center City.
If you’re using GLP-1 medications and want a structured approach to training, we’ll help you build a plan that supports long-term results, not just short-term weight loss.
Can you build muscle while on GLP-1 medications?
Building muscle can be more challenging in a calorie deficit, but with proper strength training, you can preserve muscle and in some cases still build strength.
Should you lift weights while taking Ozempic or Wegovy?
Yes. Strength training is one of the most effective ways to prevent muscle loss during rapid weight loss.
How do you prevent muscle loss on GLP-1 medications?
The most effective approach is combining resistance training with adequate protein intake and proper recovery.
Is personal training safe while using GLP-1 medications?
Yes. Training should simply be adjusted based on your energy levels and overall recovery.
How often should I train while on GLP-1 medications?
Most clients benefit from 2–4 strength training sessions per week depending on their schedule and goals.
One of the biggest challenges with GLP-1 weight loss is understanding what weight you’re actually losing.
The scale can go down quickly, but it doesn’t tell you whether that weight is coming from fat or muscle.
That’s where InBody scans come in.
At The Summit, we use InBody Scan to track:
This allows us to go beyond just weight loss and focus on improving your body composition.
With regular InBody scans, we can:
For clients using GLP-1 medications, this level of tracking is especially important. It gives us the ability to make smarter training decisions and helps you see progress that the scale alone cannot show.
If you’re currently using GLP-1 medications or considering them, we can help you build a training plan that supports your weight loss while preserving muscle.
