Gym Habits and Fitness Goals of GLP-1 Medication Users

Thanks for joining! We're studying how people taking GLP-1 medications think about exercise and fitness goals. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized. This takes about 8 minutes, and there are no right or wrong answers — just tell us how it's actually going for you.

Which best describes your current situation with GLP-1 medications (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound)?

• Currently taking a GLP-1 medication
• Previously took one but stopped
• Considering starting one, haven't yet

In the last 30 days, on average how many days per week did you do any form of exercise (cardio, strength training, walking, etc.)?

Since starting (or considering) a GLP-1 medication, what has become your primary fitness goal?

• Lose fat while preserving muscle
• Build muscle or strength
• Improve cardio endurance
• General health maintenance
• I don't have a specific fitness goal

How important is each of the following to you right now?

How confident are you that your current exercise routine can preserve muscle mass while you lose weight?

Looking at these fitness-related outcomes, which matters most to you and which matters least?

• Preserving muscle mass
• Increasing strength
• Losing body fat
• Improving energy and stamina
• Improving mobility and flexibility
• Reducing joint or body pain
• Improving mood and mental health

In the last 30 days, what has made it harder to exercise consistently? Select all that apply.

• Nausea or GI side effects
• Low energy or fatigue
• Muscle weakness
• Lack of time
• Lack of motivation
• Cost of gym or equipment
• Not knowing what routine to follow

Explore the reasoning behind this respondent's top fitness goal and biggest exercise barrier. If muscle preservation or strength ranked highest, ask what specifically they're doing (or trying) to protect muscle while on the medication and whether they feel it's working. If a side effect like nausea or fatigue was selected as a barrier, probe how it actually changes their workout that week — skipped sessions, shorter workouts, lower intensity — versus how they wish it worked. If they have no specific fitness goal, ask what would make one feel worth setting.

Do you currently use a trainer, coach, or program specifically designed for people on GLP-1 medications?

• Yes, a personal trainer or coach
• Yes, an app or online program
• No, but I'd be interested
• No, and I'm not interested

Almost done — just a couple of quick optional questions about you.
