Why Personal Trainers Should Stay Open-Minded About Weight Loss Medication

EXOfit Ballsbridge Dublin 4 | Personal Training Studio | Personal Trainer Advice

​

In the world of personal training, we meet clients from all walks of life, each with unique goals, challenges, and personal histories. At EXOfit Ballsbridge Dublin 4, we believe that part of our role is to provide guidance and encouragement — not judgement. This is especially important when it comes to clients using weight loss medication.

​

Why Open-Mindedness Matters
Some clients may choose to use medically prescribed weight loss medication as part of their journey. Our job in the personal training studio isn’t to question their decision or make them feel uncomfortable, but to focus on how we can support them in achieving sustainable, healthy results alongside their medical plan.

​

Benefits of Weight Loss Medication
When prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional, weight loss medication can:

Help improve health markers such as blood pressure, blood sugar control, and cholesterol.

Reduce excess weight, lowering stress on joints and improving mobility. 

Boost confidence, helping clients feel more motivated to engage in personal training sessions.

Why would we demonise this?

​

How Personal Training Can Support the Journey
Even with medication, movement and strength training remain key for long-term success. A well-structured personal training program can:

Preserve and build muscle while losing fat.

Improve cardiovascular fitness and overall health.

Build positive exercise choices that last well beyond the medication period.

​

At EXOfit Ballsbridge, we work in partnership with clients, meeting them where they are and helping them progress at a pace that works for them. Every client’s journey is different, and our role is to guide, educate, and celebrate their wins — not to judge their choices.

If you’re taking weight loss medication and want tailored personal trainer advice that supports your goals, we’re here to help you create a safe and effective plan.
