GLP-1 Fitness Coaching

GGS COACHING FOR WOMEN

Your GLP-1 helps with your appetite. Who's protecting your muscle?

Women taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro are losing weight — but a significant portion of that weight can be muscle, not fat. GGS Coaching provides you with 1-on-1 nutrition, exercise, and coaching support to protect your lean body mass while taking a GLP-1 medication.

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication,
this might sound familiar.

You're losing weight — but you're also losing strength and muscle mass.

You struggle to get enough protein when your appetite is so low.

You're worried about what will happen to your body composition if you come off the medication.

Your doctor prescribed the medication but didn't give you a plan for nutrition or exercise.

You feel tired, weak, or depleted — and you're not sure if that's normal.

You want to lose fat, not muscle — but you don't know how to make that happen.

There's a better way. Over the next 12 months, we'll show you how to train smart, eat in a way that supports your medication, and protect your muscle and strength — guaranteed, or your money back.

GLP-1 medications are a powerful tool. But they don't come with a fitness plan.

Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro can reduce your appetite and help you lose weight, but they don't determine what kind of weight you lose. Without the right nutrition and resistance training plan, a significant portion of that weight loss comes from muscle tissue — not just fat.

Muscle loss means a slower metabolic rate, less strength, and a higher risk of weight regain later. That's why your nutrition and exercise habits matter just as much as the medication itself. Research consistently shows that combining GLP-1 therapies with resistance training and adequate protein intake significantly reduces muscle loss.

GGS Coaching fills the gap most doctors can't. We provide 1-on-1 nutrition, exercise, and mindset coaching designed to help you protect your muscle, fuel your body properly, and build habits that last — whether you stay on a GLP-1 medication long-term or eventually come off.

Coaching support for every phase of your GLP-1 journey.

01

Starting your medication

If you're just starting your medication, you're adjusting to a reduced appetite, possible side effects, and a body that's changing fast. Your GGS Coach will help ensure you have adequate protein intake and enough nutrients to maintain your energy levels, help you start or continue your strength training program, and help you build a foundation that protects your muscle mass from day one.

02

Maintaining on medication

If you've been taking your medication for a while, by now your dosing is adjusted and you're likely losing weight. Your GGS Coach will work with you to fine-tune your nutrition, help you progress with your strength training program, and help you build the habits and skills that will carry you forward — not just for now, but for life.

03

Coming off medication

If you choose to come off your medication, this is where your GGS Coach is extra important. Many people experience weight regain when coming off their medication — in large part because they never built the habits and skills needed for long-term weight management. Your GGS Coach will work with you to create a nutrition and exercise plan to support you during this transition.

Why coaching matters

Protect your muscle and strength.

Combining your medication with a GGS Coach who understands GLP-1s can reduce muscle loss — protecting your strength, metabolism, and results.

GLP-1 alone

More muscle loss.

Without a structured nutrition and resistance training plan, a significant portion of your weight loss may be lean muscle* — not just fat.

vs

GLP-1 + GGS Coaching

Less muscle loss.

With adequate protein, resistance training, and a coach who understands GLP-1s, you can protect your strength, metabolism, and long-term results.

*Research shows that without resistance training and adequate protein, a significant portion of weight loss from taking GLP-1s comes from lean muscle — meaning a slower metabolism, less strength, and a higher risk of regain when you stop.

What Your Coaching Includes

Nutrition coaching built for GLP-1

With a reduced appetite and lower food intake, it's easy to under-eat, miss your protein and nutrient targets, and lose excessive muscle mass. Your GGS Coach helps customize your eating habits around your schedule, preferences, and any symptoms you have — helping you get enough nutrients and high-quality protein to reduce loss of muscle mass.

Strength training to protect muscle

Resistance training is the most important thing you can do on a GLP-1 to protect your lean body mass. Choose from 12+ exercise programs — including options using dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, and bodyweight movements like push-ups. Your coach will work with you to adjust your training program for your energy, equipment, and ability level.

A coach who gets GLP-1s

Your GGS Coach understands the unique challenges of GLP-1 receptor agonists — including reduced appetite, nausea, fatigue, and other side effects — and understands you need ongoing support. With GGS Coaching, you'll get 1-on-1 access to your GLP-1 informed coach 5 days a week.

Mindset coaching for your journey

GLP-1 medications change more than your body weight. Your GGS Coach will help you navigate the emotional side of your journey — including body image, relationship with food, confidence, and the fear of "what happens if I stop taking the medication."

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get when I join the pre-sale list?

When you join the free, no-obligation pre-sale list, you get two very important things:

Early enrollment access — You'll get the opportunity to enroll before we open to the general public. Spots are limited and first-come, first-served — and we always sell out. Being on the pre-sale list is your best chance at securing a spot.

Exclusive savings — You'll have the chance to save up to 45% off the general public price. This is the lowest price available to the public.

Joining is free and takes 30 seconds. All we need is your name and email address — no credit card, no commitment.

When does enrollment open?

The GGS Coaching Program opens for enrollment twice a year, and spots are very limited.

We accept only a small number of new coaching clients each round to ensure every woman gets the personalized attention she deserves — and we always sell out, often within hours of opening.

When you join the pre-sale list, you'll be notified as soon as enrollment opens. You'll get access 48–72 hours before the general public, so this is your best chance at getting a spot.

Is there any obligation when I join the pre-sale list?

None whatsoever. Joining the pre-sale list is completely free — no credit card, no commitment. All you need to provide is your name and email address.

That said, if you're genuinely interested in the coaching program and enrollment is accessible to you — we highly recommend enrolling when you have the chance. Spots sell out fast, and we can never guarantee future pricing.

What if I join the pre-sale list but can't enroll during this round?

You'll automatically stay on the pre-sale list for the next enrollment — no need to rejoin.

One important thing to keep in mind: we can never guarantee future pricing. So if you're interested in the program and enrolling is accessible to you, we highly recommend locking in your pre-sale savings while you can.

Does GGS provide GLP-1 medications?

No. GGS Coaching is not a medical provider and does not prescribe or supply GLP-1 therapies or any other weight loss drugs. We provide nutrition, exercise, and mindset coaching support for women who are already taking GLP-1 medications prescribed by their healthcare provider.

Can I really lose fat without losing muscle on a GLP-1?

Studies on GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide, and dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists like tirzepatide, show that without the right nutrition and exercise support, a significant portion of weight lost can come from lean body mass rather than fat. The good news: research shows that combining these medications with resistance training and adequate protein intake significantly reduces muscle loss — even during rapid weight loss. Your GGS Coach helps you implement both, with a personalized program designed for your body, your goals, and your baseline fitness level.

How do GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 medications cause muscle loss?

Medications like Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) work by reducing hunger and appetite, slowing gastric emptying, helping you feel fuller sooner, helping you stay fuller longer, and through improving insulin sensitivity and glucose control. The result is a lower calorie intake (sometimes much lower) and weight loss (sometimes significant weight loss).

While a calorie deficit is required for weight loss, anytime you're in a calorie deficit, you risk muscle loss. And because the effects of GLP-1 medications make it easier to be in a calorie-restricted state over time, they can increase your risk of muscle loss. This is why muscle preservation strategies are so important during GLP-1 weight loss. This includes adequate protein intake, regular strength training, and eating enough overall nutrients, while still maintaining a moderate calorie deficit.

What does the research say about GLP-1 medications and muscle loss?

The research is clear: losing weight — whether through medication, diet, or both — almost always means losing some lean muscle mass alongside fat. And with the rapid weight loss that GLP-1 drugs can produce, that risk is amplified.

In clinical trials, approximately 15–20% of weight lost with GLP-1-type medications was skeletal muscle. In diet studies more broadly, people may lose as much as half of their weight as lean body mass, which can include significant loss of skeletal muscle and fat-free mass.

This matters because muscle loss isn't just a cosmetic concern. Loss of lean muscle mass affects your strength, your physical function, your daily-life independence, your metabolic rate, your blood sugar control, and your musculoskeletal health — including your bones. For women in perimenopause or menopause, who already face age-related risks of muscle and bone loss, the stakes are even higher.

The good news — and this is well-supported by research, including systematic reviews of GLP-1 receptor agonists and exercise interventions — is that muscle breakdown during GLP-1 weight loss is not inevitable. Studies consistently show that combining GLP-1 medications with resistance training and adequate protein intake significantly reduces lean mass loss during rapid weight loss.

This is exactly what GGS Coaching is designed to help you do.

What if I'm also in perimenopause or menopause?

Many of our clients taking GLP-1 medications are in perimenopause or menopause, which can add another layer of complexity to muscle preservation, body composition, and metabolic health. Older adults have a higher risk of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), which GLP-1 weight loss can accelerate. The good news? Muscle loss is not inevitable in midlife, and your coach accounts for both — adjusting your program for your medication AND your stage of life.

How much protein do I need on a GLP-1?

This varies by person, but research suggests women on GLP-1 medications should aim for a protein intake of at least 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight, prioritizing high-quality protein sources with amino acids like leucine that support muscle protein synthesis (i.e. building muscle). The good news? You don't have to worry about this because your coach will help you build a realistic eating plan that includes adequate protein — even if with a reduced appetite and food intake.

Do you provide meal plans?

In GGS Coaching, we don't provide meal plans — and here's why that's actually a good thing.

Meal plans almost always fail because they're too restrictive, complicated, or difficult to follow for any length of time. And for women on GLP-1 medications, a rigid meal plan can be even harder to follow — your appetite and food tolerance can change week to week depending on your dosing and how you're feeling.

Instead of telling you what to eat, our coaching program focuses on changing your approach to food. Each week you'll get one nutrition habit to practice — something simple and sustainable that helps you get enough protein, support your muscle mass, and fuel your body properly while on medication. As habits stack up over time, they become effortless and add up to real, lasting results.

What if I want to come off my medication eventually?

While deciding if you want to transition off your medication is a conversation for you and your healthcare provider, we do provide coaching specifically for women transitioning off GLP-1 medication. Real-world data shows that without behavior change interventions, weight regain is common after stopping GLP-1 therapy. Your coach helps you prepare for the transition through building healthy habits and skills, adjusting your nutrition as needed, and helping you maintain a regular strength training program — to improve your chances of sustaining your weight loss without the medication.

Are GLP-1 medications safe long-term?

That's a question for your healthcare provider — GGS does not provide medical advice. What we can tell you is that the side effects, body composition changes, and risk factors associated with GLP-1 therapies are best managed when paired with proper nutrition, strength training, and lifestyle support. That's where GGS Coaching fits in.

What kind of exercise programs do you offer?

With GGS Coaching we have 12+ training programs options. Once you enroll, you'll choose the training program that best suits you and your goals. Your coach is available to provide recommendations if you're not sure what to choose.

Your options include:

  • Start Training
  • Fat Loss
  • Muscle Gain
  • Midlife-Friendly Training
  • Knee-Friendly Training
  • Bodyweight & Resistance Bands (perfect for at home!)
  • Dumbbells & Resistance Bands
  • Kettlebells & Resistance Bands
  • Strength Gain
  • Strength Gain with Pull-Up Focus

Every program emphasizes resistance training because it's the most effective intervention we have for muscle preservation during GLP-1 weight loss. Programs use dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, machines, or bodyweight movements like push-ups — and your coach can adjust your program for your equipment, energy, and ability level.

Your workout program will specify exactly what exercises to perform, sets and reps, rest guidelines, and include demonstration videos — all within the app — so you always know exactly what to do.

If your goal or circumstances change at any point, you can easily switch programs.

How often do I need to exercise?

The sweet spot for most women to gain or maintain muscle mass and improve physical function is anywhere from 2 to 4 resistance training sessions per week — depending on your lifestyle, sleep, stress levels, and other factors unique to you.

How often you exercise is based on your training plan and schedule, but the choice is ultimately up to you. You'll get more information once you enroll in the coaching program.

Do I need a gym membership?

No gym membership required. You can choose from a variety of training programs depending on your goal and the equipment you have available:

  • Some programs require minimal equipment
  • Others can be done in a home gym with moderate equipment
  • Others deliver the best results with access to a full gym with free weights and machines

Your coach can also substitute exercises if you don't have access to a specific piece of equipment — so you always have a program that works for your situation.

Who will my coach be?

When you enroll in GGS Coaching and fill out your questionnaires, you'll be matched with a GGS Coach who is perfectly suited to help you reach your health and fitness goals.

Our coaches are all Certified Personal Trainers, who also have specialty Certifications and training in coaching women through perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy, postpartum, GLP-1 use, and more.

They have a combined 100+ years of experience in the fitness industry and decades of experience in online personal training and nutrition coaching. Together they've helped thousands of women around the world achieve their goals in a sustainable way.

Once you're matched, you'll have access to your coach five days a week for support, accountability, questions, program modifications, exercise technique review, real-time video calls, and much more.

I don't live in the United States. Can I still join?

Yes! That's the power of online coaching. No matter where you live, you can get the support of our world-class GGS coaches.

We have women from more than 125 countries in the Girls Gone Strong community — so as long as you have access to the internet, you can participate in GGS Coaching.

How much does GGS Coaching cost?

The general public price for GGS Coaching is $299.99 USD per month for 12 months.

But when you join the pre-sale list, you'll have the opportunity to enroll for a one-time payment of $1,999.99 USD or $199.99 USD per month — a savings of up to 45% off the general public price.

To put that in perspective: the average cost of a personal trainer or fitness coach is between $50 and $150 per session. At two sessions a week, that's $400 to $1,200 per month — for fitness training alone.

With GGS Coaching, you get personalized GLP-1 nutrition, exercise, and mindset coaching, plus access to your coach 5 days a week — for a fraction of that cost.

Is there really a money-back guarantee?

Absolutely. We believe in this program so much that we offer a full money-back guarantee.

Here's how it works: enroll in GGS Coaching and give us your all for 12 months — participating in what we ask of you 80% of the time. If you're not satisfied with your results at the end of the program, you'll get a full refund. Every penny.
