Future Fit launches GLP-1 course for fitness professionals

Future Fit for Business has launched an online course for fitness and wellness professionals looking to gain insights into the use of GLP-1 in weight management programmes. Called Navigating GLP-1 for Sport and Physical Activity Professionals, the course has been tailored specifically for the fitness and wellness industry.

As obesity, diabetes and weight management challenges continue to rise globally, the course aims to ensure personal trainers and fitness staff can tailor training, nutrition and support to meet their clients’ evolving needs.

The GLP-1 course is structured to meet the diverse needs of learners through three sections.

The first focuses on the basics, addressing foundational questions about GLP-1 medications, including what they are, their benefits and potential risks.

The second explores the science behind these medications, uncovering the mechanisms that explain their effects. For those seeking practical application, the third section offers real-world strategies and case studies, providing actionable guidance for working with individuals using GLP-1 medication.

Elaine Briggs, Chief Education and Partnership Officer at Future Fit, said: “Our GLP-1 course reflects our commitment to equipping professionals with the knowledge to meet today’s healthcare challenges with confidence”.
