Noom Adds Muscle Defense™ to Its GLP-1 Companion Program to Help Prevent Muscle-Mass Loss While Taking GLP-1s
Fitness Now a Key Component of Noom’s Whole-Person Health Solution For All Members
NEW YORK, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Noom, the leading digital healthcare company committed to chronic disease prevention and empowering people to live better and healthier lives, launches Noom Move, an on-demand fitness offering, including Muscle Defense™, a curated movement program for those taking GLP-1 medications. In a cutting-edge collaboration with FitOn, the move directly integrates FitOn’s extensive library of fitness programming into the Noom app, making exercise available to all Noom members as they build healthy habits.
“Powerful weight-loss meds need a powerful companion,” said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of Noom. “Muscle mass must be retained to avoid conditions like sarcopenic obesity down the road. The reality is the meds are not enough. It says so right on the label — that they are to be used as an adjunct to a nutrition and exercise program. We built Noom GLP-1 Companion, now with Muscle Defense™, to be that program, because Noom is more than meds.”
Noom Move enhances Noom’s holistic approach to wellness by offering an array of on-demand workouts designed for individuals at any fitness level. Noom members can now enjoy unlimited access to a wide range of classes, including yoga, HIIT, strength training, Pilates, and much more, all led by some of the most sought-after trainers in the fitness industry.
Key Features of Noom Move Include:
- Seamless Integration: Noom users can easily browse and participate in workouts without leaving the Noom app for a unified health and fitness experience.
- Personalized Recommendations: Members will receive personalized workout recommendations that align with their fitness goals and preferences.
- Community and Motivation: Members can track their progress and engage in challenges, fostering a supportive and motivated Noom community.
“Making habits like joyful movement easier for Noom Members to access helps remove barriers to engagement, which increases the likelihood of success,” shared Dr. Andreas Michaelides, Head of Psychology at Noom. “The more successful our members are with building one habit, the more likely they are to follow through on the steps that lead to better, healthier lives. Noom Move makes habit-building even easier.”
