Are you, or someone you know, on or considering a GLP-1 medication for weight loss?
Want to WIN A FREE PLACE in our 8 -week Program for you or a friend? Read on.

Watch Ben explain why strength training matters so much while you're on these medications, and how our new program helps you do it safely.

A substantial share of the weight lost on GLP-1 therapy can come from muscle. Muscle keeps you strong, mobile and metabolically healthy, so protecting it matters. Supervised resistance training is the most effective way to do that, especially when your appetite and energy are lower than usual.

Our 8-week GLP-1 Strength Program includes:
✅ A one-on-one initial assessment of your strength, function and body composition
✅ 8 weekly small-group strength sessions (45 min), progressed as you get stronger
✅ Education in weeks 1–3: why exercise matters, how strength training works, and fuelling on a smaller appetite
✅ Take-home handouts on blood sugar, bone health, cholesterol and coming off your medication
✅ A one-on-one progress review to re-test and plan what comes next

🎁 GIVEAWAY: WIN A FREE PLACE (valued at $490)
To enter:
1️⃣ Tag someone below who'd benefit from getting stronger (each tag = 1 entry)
2️⃣ Like this post

Entries close Sunday 25 October at 8pm. We'll draw one winner at random from all entries and announce them in our stories on Monday 26 October. The winner must be 18+, able to attend Narellan on Wednesdays at 5:30pm, and medically suitable for exercise (confirmed at the initial assessment). Not sponsored by or associated with Instagram.

Happy Friday. A reminder that movement is one of the most important investments you can make in your long-term health.

Regular exercise supports strength, mobility, balance, and independence across every stage of life. It’s not about intensity or perfection — it’s about consistency over time.

No matter your age or starting point, movement matters.

STAIRS… 🫣

Do they determine the path you take?
Where you travel?
If you travel at all?

Stairs shouldn't feel like a daily risk assessment. If you feel hesitant, avoid them, or hold the rail like your life depends on it, there's a better way.

Targeted strength and balance training will help!
Here at Active Approach, the team will prescribe an exercise program to help make your daily life both easier and more enjoyable 🥰

Take the Active Approach.

Kim came in stuck doing endless “stretching”… now she’s stronger, more confident, and moving better than ever. She had never even tried to train through an injury but she knows the team are so supportive and work around it, to make sure she stays moving!

She thought age meant slowing down…. Now she’s proving herself wrong every session 🙌

Not too mention just how contagious her positive attitude is! Three plus years and we’re so proud of all you’ve achieved 🫶🏼

WELCOME MATT! 🙏🏼

I’m sure you have all already had a chance to meet the friendly new face of Active Approach Physiology.
Buuuuuut if you’re haven’t here’s all you need to know
😏

Matt is an accredited exercise physiologist who believes exercise plays a key part in living life to the fullest! He is new to the clinic, but not the industry.

Helping clients maximise their independence, while tailoring exercises to their individual needs/goals is something he is very passionate about.

If he is not at work he is making sure to enjoy a very active lifestyle himself! He has a love for a number of sports, just as much as he does relaxing with his loved ones.

Make sure to say hey when you’re in next 😊

If you have a spare minute please consider signing this e-petition for the removal of GST on Exercise Physiology services.
This significantly effects our business, the entire EP profession and the accessibility of quality exercise prescription for the community.
Currently we're having to charge GST when other allied health such as physio, chiro, and even Chinese medicine doesn't have too. It's quite frankly saddening to think that a profession that is hardly based on clinical evidence can avoid this whilst EP has to forward on, or absorb the cost of GST.
Please share if you're on board.
