On 30th October 2025, we had the privilege of attending the ukactive Awards as finalists for Education Programme of the Year. Our nomination recognised something we’re incredibly proud of – our pioneering course; Navigating GLP-1 for Sport and Physical Activity Professionals.
Although we didn’t take home the trophy that evening, the experience reminded us exactly why we’re passionate about what we do. Being in a room filled with industry leaders who are pushing boundaries and driving excellence across the fitness and physical activity sector was nothing short of inspiring.
Our GLP-1 course has quickly become one of our most sought-after programmes, and for good reason. Since its launch in February, we’ve delivered multiple in-person workshops led by Dr Hussain, providing fitness professionals with the specialised knowledge they need to support clients using GLP-1 medications safely and effectively.
The landscape of weight management is evolving at an unprecedented pace. GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Ozempic are transforming how many people approach weight loss. For fitness professionals, this creates both opportunities and responsibilities. Increasing numbers of clients are arriving at gyms and studios already using these medications, often with questions their trainers feel unprepared to answer.
That’s exactly the knowledge gap our course was designed to fill!
In an era of rapid medical advancement, evidence-based education is essential. Fitness professionals need to understand how these medications work, their potential side effects, and how they work alongside exercise and nutrition plans. Without this knowledge, professionals risk giving outdated or incorrect advice that could undermine their client’s health outcomes.
Our course equips trainers, coaches, and physical activity professionals with the clarity and confidence to navigate these conversations. It’s about empowering them to deliver better health outcomes and remain trusted advisors in their clients’ wellness journeys. Find out more about GLP-1 landscape here.
We want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and finalists at the ukactive Awards. Each organisation recognised that evening is driving meaningful progress in our sector, and we’re honoured to stand alongside them.
The evening left us feeling motivated and proud to be part of such a forward-thinking community. As the fitness industry continues to evolve, we remain committed to providing the education and support professionals need to excel in their roles.
Here’s to innovation, education, and the incredible professionals shaping the future of physical activity in the UK.
