GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro work — but a quarter of every pound you lose can be muscle if you don't lift. Level is the AI strength coach designed to keep your lean mass while the medication does the rest.
14-day free trial · Cancel anytime · $20/mo after
Tell your coach you're on a GLP-1 and the plan adapts — volume, rep ranges, rest, and protein all scaled to the realities of appetite suppression and lower energy days.
Strength gains, training consistency, and protein hits — the signals that actually prove muscle is staying. Scale weight alone is misleading on a GLP-1.
$20 a month for AI coaching that protects what the medication is helping you build. No human trainer at this price tier knows the GLP-1 context.

Everything You Need
Resistance training is the only proven lever to bias weight loss toward fat. Level programs progressive strength training scaled to your fitness level, not your appetite.
Appetite suppression makes hitting 1.6-2.2 g/kg of protein hard. Level calculates your floor, tracks intake, and surfaces it before muscle loss does.
Some weeks on the medication are flat. Level uses rate of perceived exertion so you don't have to hit hard numbers on a low-energy day — and keeps the muscle-preservation signal strong on the days you can.
Tell your coach you're on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro and the plan adapts. Lower volume early, full-body splits, exercise swaps for sore weeks, and an honest read on how training intersects with the medication.
Weight is a noisy signal on a GLP-1. Level surfaces strength gains, training consistency, and protein hits — the metrics that actually prove muscle is staying.
When you taper off, the plan flexes from preserve-during-loss to maintain-the-result without you starting over. Two-thirds of people regain the weight after stopping — Level is the layer that holds the line.

Common Questions
Yes — the research is unusually clear about this. Trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide show that 25-40% of total weight lost on a GLP-1 can come from lean tissue, including muscle. Resistance training is the most reliable intervention to bias loss toward fat. Level programs progressive strength training calibrated to your fitness level, with volume scaled down on lower-energy days so you can train safely even when appetite is suppressed.
This is real and it's planned for. Level adjusts session volume, lets you swap movements, and uses RPE (rate of perceived exertion) so you don't have to hit hard numbers on a low-energy day. Two short, well-executed sessions per week is enough to preserve the majority of muscle — and that's the floor we'll hold to until you feel better.
Most clinical guidance lands around 1.2-1.6 g per kg of bodyweight per day to preserve muscle in a deficit, with the higher end (up to 2.2 g/kg) recommended on a GLP-1 specifically because appetite suppression makes under-eating likely. Level calculates your daily target, tracks intake in-app, and your coach will surface it when you're consistently low.
Yes, and it matters. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) have different half-lives and side-effect profiles, which translates to different training tolerance patterns week to week. Level asks during onboarding and accounts for it in the program. We do not give dosing or medical advice — that stays with your clinician.
Yes. When you taper off, your coach shifts the plan from 'preserve muscle in deficit' to 'maintain weight at new bodyweight' — calorie targets up, protein targets held, volume held. The largest published GLP-1 trials show participants regain about two-thirds of the weight within a year of stopping; the strength habit and protein floor we built during the medication are what holds the line afterward. See our companion page for the full post-discontinuation playbook.
No. Level is a fitness and nutrition coaching app — not a medical app, and not a substitute for your doctor or pharmacist. Always discuss medication, dosing, and any taper plan with the clinician who prescribed it. We focus on the training and protein targets that the published research supports.
