GLP-1 Medications & The Modern Personal Trainer

 

What they are, how they work, and what coaches need to know about training and nutrition.

GLP-1 medications are changing the landscape of weight management and metabolic health. And whether you are for them, against them, or somewhere in between, there's a good chance you'll be working with clients who use them.

As coaches, our job isn't to prescribe medications or make medical decisions for our clients. But understanding how these medications work, their effects beyond weight loss, and the considerations they introduce for training and nutrition? That's absolutely relevant to what we do.

Join Luke Leaman and Zoe Knight for an approximately 2-hour webinar exploring the science of GLP-1 medications and what it means for you as a coach.

Live Webinar  |  9am Fri, Nov 27 AEST  |  Approx. 2 hours  |  Recording Included

EARLY BIRD PRICING: AUD$149.00 AUD$97.00 (Until 4 Nov 2026)

Understanding GLP-1 & Incretin Therapy

What are incretins, and what role does naturally occurring GLP-1 play in the body?

We'll explore the physiology behind GLP-1, how pharmaceutical therapies work, and the differences between the bodies natural hormone and medications designed to act on its pathways.

GLP-1 Beyond Weight Loss

There is a lot more going on that a reduction in appetite.

We'll explore the wider systemic effects of GLP-1 therapies, including their influence on metabolic health and other physiological systems.

Side Effects & Important Considerations

What are the potential side effects of GLP-1 therapies, and why should coaches understand them?

We'll discuss the considerations that may influence a client's experience, and why recognising when something is outside your scope of practice matters.

Nutrition Considerations

When appetite and food intake change significantly, nutrition deserves particular attention.

We'll explore important nutritional considerations for people using GL-1 medications, why these considerations become even MORE important when on GLP-1 therapy, and what coaches should be aware of when supporting these clients.

Training Considerations

What should coaches consider when programming for clients using GLP-1 medications?

We'll discuss the implications for exercise, resistance training, and maintaining lean mass and function as clients navigate changes in body weight, appetite, energy intake, and recoverability.
