Become a Performance certified trainer
The Tide Health Performance & Personal Training program prepares trainers to work with clients on GLP-1 therapy, and connects certified trainers directly to Nurse Practitioner referrals at their gym.
program clients need a different kind of coaching
Rapid weight loss can mean losing muscle along with fat. Reduced appetite makes hitting protein harder. Side effects affect energy and training days. Certified trainers know how to plan around all of it.
Trainers become an essential part of the care team: the professional who sees the client most often, helps protect their strength, and reports progress back through the app.
What you'll learn
Self-paced online modules through the Tide Health Performance & Personal Training program, followed by a practical assessment.
The program fundamentals
How GLP-1 medications work, typical titration schedules, common side effects and what they mean for training days.
Preserving lean mass
Programming resistance training to protect muscle and strength during a caloric deficit.
Nutrition essentials
Protein targets, hydration, and eating well on a reduced appetite, within a trainer's scope of practice.
Training around side effects
Adjusting intensity for nausea, fatigue and dose-change weeks. Recognizing red flags and when to escalate to the NP.
Measuring progress
Strength benchmarks, body composition, and using the app to share progress with the care team.
Scope, safety & communication
Working within a clinical team, privacy and consent, motivational coaching and long-term habit building.
Certification & renewal
Trainers who complete the modules and practical assessment receive the Tide Health Performance certification, are listed in the trainer directory, and become eligible for NP referrals. Annual refresher modules keep certification current as guidance evolves.
How referrals and collaboration work
Referral, both ways
The NP refers clients to you, and you can refer clients to the program with your own link. Either way, the relationship is recorded in the Tide Health app.
Baseline session
You assess strength, mobility and goals, and set a program built for the client's treatment phase.
Train & track
Sessions are logged in the app. Flags like dizziness or severe fatigue go straight to the NP.
Monthly sync
Progress feeds into the client's monthly NP follow-up. Plans stay aligned across the team.
