Peer-reviewed research shows that 20 to 40 percent of the weight you lose on a GLP-1 medication can come from lean body mass, including muscle and bone, not fat. The good news: strength training two to three times a week prevents most of it. Here's the science of GLP-1 muscle loss, what the research recommends, and how STRIDE Fitness strength classes are built for exactly this.

Ever stood at the edge of a fitness class and thought, "That's not for me, I'm not a runner"? You don't have to be.

Here's why Woodway treadmills, certified personal trainer coaches, and the Recovery Zone make STRIDE Fitness the perfect place to build heart and lung health, lower your resting heart rate, and finally feel in shape, even if you have no plans to ever become a runner.
