When Ozempic and other semaglutides first hit the market, Dan Uyemura dismissed them as just another quick-fix fad — like so many other diet and fitness trends for getting fit and losing weight. But one eye-opening conversation flipped his perspective.
Now, Dan and Nick Reyes take you through their insights on how gym owners can reframe this rising trend — from resistance to opportunity. Learn how to meet members where they are, build programs that align with their needs, and help clients turn the “easy button” of Ozempic into lasting health results.
