    Some comments regarding the Ozempic trend from Personal Trainers: 

    Denis S -  Despite the Ozempic providing some exciting results its important to remember that Only you can change your life, no one can do it for you!


    Priscilla J - Even though I have been asked by many clients to try this, I only went for it with a client that is obese and has an autoimmune disease. We are working together with his doctor as well as continuing with an exercise routine of 5 days per week and good nutrition. 


    Katie T - The Ozempic can be a helpful tool for individuals who have struggled to lose weight through traditional methods. It can help curb appetite and increase metabolism, making it easier for people to stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine


    Giulia R - I would not recommend this to clients for weight loss as it does not promote overall health and rather promotes a short term quick fix to the problem. 


    Hannah S - I am wary of the Ozempic as a solution for sustainable weight loss. It may provide quick results, but it does not address the underlying habits and behaviors that contribute to weight gain. In the long run, individuals may be better off focusing on making lifestyle changes rather than relying on a quick fix.
