MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) –  Weight loss medications are on the rise and Planet Fitness is stressing the importance of maintaining your physical strength and fitness throughout the process.

Personal trainer, Dylan Floyd, says that taking Ozempic or other GLP-1 drugs can lead to rapid weight loss, which can sometimes mean the loss of muscle mass.

Floyd says that working out while taking Ozempic or GLP-1 treatments can help maintain your physical strength and fitness throughout the process.

According to Planet Fitness, nearly 1 in 8 American adults have taken GLP-1 medications, like Ozempic and Wegovy, at some point in their lives, and that number is expected to grow.

Floyd says free-weight training, machine workouts, cycling, yoga and pilates are the best options for people taking weight loss medication.
