Additional Information

The GLP-1 CEC Course equips personal trainers with the knowledge, confidence, and practical strategies to support clients using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound. As the popularity of these medications increases, many clients are entering training spaces already experiencing rapid weight loss, reduced appetite, and significant shifts in motivation and body image. Trainers must be prepared to respond professionally, ethically, and effectively — within their defined scope of practice.
This course explores the science behind GLP-1s, common medications and their effects, nutritional and training adaptations, mindset and identity shifts, and red flag scenarios that require referral. It combines evidence-based theory with real-world coaching strategies, helping trainers protect client health, enhance outcomes, and reinforce their unique value in the coaching process. Scope of practice, communication skills, and referral pathways are reinforced throughout.
