THE ROOT CAUSE · 12-WEEK PROGRAM
on ozempic or glp medication?
you need a strategy.
twelve weeks from now,
people will ask what changed.
up to 40% of what you lose on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro can be muscle. that’s where the gaunt face, the droopy clothes and the rebound weight come from. the root cause is twelve weeks at our private amsterdam studio — so you end up strong, not deflated.

02 · WHAT NOBODY WARNED YOU ABOUT
three months in, you start noticing.
the medication works. the scale moves. but three months in you start noticing things nobody mentioned at the clinic.
your face changed shape.
"ozempic face" — drawn, gaunt, suddenly older.
your clothes hang differently.
smaller, but somehow softer. less you.
you feel weaker than before.
stairs, groceries, lifting a child. heavier.
you're scared of stopping.
2 in 3 regain weight. 1 in 5 gain it all back.

03 · THE OUTCOME
twelve weeks from now, people will ask what changed.
not “have you lost weight?” — they already know that. what changed. your shoulders. your posture. the way you carry yourself into a room. the look on your face when you catch your reflection. that’s what we’re building. the medication handed you a window. we make sure you walk out of it stronger than you walked in.
04 · WHY THIS WORKS
why this works when other things didn't.
the clinics give you the medication. we give you the part the medication can’t do alone — the muscle protein synthesis signal, the protein intake, and the habits that hold after the prescription ends. built from peer-reviewed science (PMC11450469, medscape 2025) and lyle mcdonald’s the GLP-1 solution, by trainers who’ve worked with over 1,000 fat-loss clients in amsterdam.
05 · EFFORT & SACRIFICE
less time than your weekly groceries.
two 45-minute sessions a week. compound movements only. tempo controlled. we do not believe in suffering, “working out hard,” or hiit for people whose body is already in a calorie deficit. the medication is doing the eating-less. your job is to lift heavy enough to keep the muscle. ninety minutes a week. less than one episode of a series you’d rewatch anyway.
06 · THE METHOD
three pillars. nothing else.
heavy. compound. brief.
squats, hinges, presses, rows. the movements your body recognises as a reason to keep its muscle. tempo controlled, sets few, intent high.
protein you can hit.
1.6 grams per kilo of bodyweight, structured into the day in a way you can keep up with on the medication's appetite suppression. no meal plans. no shakes you'll abandon.
habits that hold.
the part most programs skip. weekly check-ins, sleep, daily steps, and the one or two anchors that keep the system running after the prescription ends.
07 · THE 12-WEEK ARC
three phases. one body composition.
baseline.
movement assessment, strength baseline, protein scaffolding. we calibrate to the medication you're on, the dose, and where your appetite actually is.
build.
the loaded weeks. we add weight to the bar slowly and deliberately while the deficit does its job. the mirror starts shifting somewhere here.
hold.
the part that survives the taper. we test the structure under fatigue and write you the protocol that holds when the prescription ends.
08 · WHO IT’S FOR
three people we work with.
you’re three months into ozempic and your jeans fit weirdly. you weigh less, but the mirror tells a different story. the number is moving. the shape isn’t.
you’re a couple losing weight together. one of you is on the medication. both of you want to come out of this stronger, not just smaller. we program you side by side.
you’re scared of stopping. you’ve watched the studies. you know what happens when people taper without a base. you want to come off the medication standing on something solid.
10 · YOUR COACH
built by trainers, not influencers.
thom de wit has coached over 1,000 fat-loss clients in amsterdam, half of them on GLP-1 medication in the last eighteen months. he co-built the root cause protocol with lyle mcdonald's GLP-1 solution in the room.
your intake is with him. so is every check-in.

12 · QUESTIONS
before you book.
do i need to be on GLP-1 medication to join?+
no. the protocol is built for people on the medication, but the same training and protein structure works for anyone in a calorie deficit. we're transparent about which parts apply to you.
do you prescribe or manage the medication?+
no. we are not a clinic. your prescription, dose, and titration stay with the doctor managing your medication. we work alongside them, never instead of them.
what if i can't make two sessions a week?+
we'll talk about it at intake. the protocol assumes 2× per week — if your schedule won't allow that, we'll be honest about whether this is the right fit before you pay.
what happens after the twelve weeks?+
you leave with a written maintenance protocol — training, nutrition, and the two or three behaviour anchors that keep the structure running. some clients return for a six-week tune-up at taper. most don't need to.
can i train with my partner?+
yes. roughly a quarter of our clients arrive as couples. we program you side by side; the price is per person.
