The Role of Exercise During GLP-1 Treatment


Patrick Service, MS, ACSM-EP, is a certified Exercise Physiologist and founder of YOUTRAINFITNESS® in Durham, North Carolina. He specializes in helping individuals safely begin and maintain exercise programs, including those using GLP-1 medications for weight management.

He developed The SERVICE™ GLP-1 Exercise Framework, a structured, evidence-informed, four-phase exercise system designed to help preserve muscle, improve strength, and support long-term weight management throughout GLP-1 therapy.

The SERVICE™ GLP-1 Exercise Framework

The framework follows four key phases:

BUILD → PRESERVE → PREPARE → MAINTAIN

🟦 BUILD
Develop safe exercise habits.

🟩 PRESERVE
Protect muscle during weight loss.

🟨 PREPARE
Transition off medication confidently.

🟧 MAINTAIN
Support lifelong weight management.


In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to safely adapt your exercise program as your body changes throughout GLP-1 therapy using The SERVICE™ GLP-1 Exercise Framework.

Whether you’re just beginning treatment or transitioning off medication, this workshop is designed for every stage of your GLP-1 journey:

  • Phase 1: Just starting GLP-1 therapy
  • Phase 2: At their full therapeutic dose
  • Phase 3: Tapering off GLP-1 medication
  • Phase 4: Off GLP-1 and focused on long-term maintenance

WHY ATTEND?

Many people taking GLP-1 medications receive little guidance on how their exercise program should adapt throughout treatment. But your training needs at the start of therapy may look very different from your needs during dose escalation, tapering, or long-term maintenance.

A one-size-fits-all exercise plan may not provide the support your body needs as your treatment changes. Without the right adjustments, you may miss opportunities to preserve muscle, improve strength, and maintain your results over time.

In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to apply the SERVICE™ GLP-1 Exercise Framework to create a smarter, more adaptable approach to exercise during every phase of treatment. You’ll leave with practical strategies to protect muscle, build strength, and confidently adjust your program as your needs evolve.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • Why exercise should change during each phase of GLP-1 therapy
  • How to preserve muscle while losing weight
  • When to modify your resistance training program
  • Common exercise mistakes that may increase muscle loss
  • Practical strategies you can apply immediately
  • How to transition from active weight loss to long-term maintenance
  • What a GLP-1 workout plan should consist of
  • When to modify you GLP-1 exercise program
  • How strength training on Ozempic changes during Phase 3 of the SERVICE™ Framework
  • What type of exercises you should perform to support muscle preservation while on GLP-1
  • How to sequence your exercise while taking GLP-1
  • How to know if your GLP-1 weight loss exercise program is inadequate
  • What a beginner workout on Ozempic looks like during phase 1 of the SERVICE™ Framework
  • How your Ozempic workout plan should change during Phase 2 of the SERVICE™ Framework
