T Tide HealthHealth & Performance

For gym & studio owners · Staff training

Your members are on GLP-1s. Is your floor team ready?

A half-day, evidence-based training that gets your trainers and floor staff working safely and confidently with members on Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro — protecting their muscle, spotting what ends a session, and knowing exactly where their scope stops. Delivered in person at your facility, or online for your whole team.

Half-day · 6 modules · Certificate on completion · Full facilitator kit included

Why train your team now

These medications changed who walks through your door. Your staff are already being asked about them every week — the only question is whether they answer well, safely, and in scope.

💪

Protect members' results

Rapid weight loss strips muscle, strength and bone unless training and fuelling are handled deliberately. Trained staff keep members' results — and keep them as members.

🛡️

Stay in scope, reduce risk

Your team learns exactly what their certification authorises, where nutrition advice becomes prescription, and the red flags that end a session and trigger a referral.

Stand out locally

Be the gym that "gets it." A trained, GLP-1-literate floor team is a genuine differentiator for retention and for attracting the wave of new members starting treatment.

The day, module by module

Six tight modules built for the gym floor — teaching, group discussion, scripted role-plays and scenario workshops. Every trainer leaves able to do the job Monday morning.

Who it's for

  • Personal trainers & coaches working one-to-one with members on GLP-1s
  • Group-fitness and floor staff who field the questions first
  • Front-desk teams handling "is this normal?" before a trainer hears it
  • Studio owners & managers who want one consistent, safe standard across the team

By the end, every staff member can…

  1. Explain, in one page, what these drugs do and when members feel worst — without overstepping.
  2. Screen a GLP-1 client and recognise the red flags that end a session on the spot.
  3. Program to protect muscle through the deficit — the resistance-training priority.
  4. Hold their scope under pressure and run the referral conversation cleanly.
