01 / The Problem

The Scale Drops.
So Does Your Muscle.

The trials are public. The body composition data is public. Roughly one-third of weight lost on a GLP-1 is lean tissue — sometimes as high as 40%. Nobody mentioned it when they wrote the script.

FIG 01. Composition Of Weight Loss · 45-lb scenario

Training— Default outcome
14.9 lb lean

41 lb fat

Modeled from STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-1 body composition substudies. Lean mass loss averages 33% of total weight loss without intervention. Structured resistance training + adequate protein cuts that to ~9%. Same scale weight. Different body.
66%
Of the weight lost on a GLP-1 is regained within 12 months of stopping. Unless someone coached the off-ramp. Almost nobody does. That's where we earn our keep.
02 / Why Detour

Other Gyms Treat GLP-1
Like A Marketing Buzzword.

We've spent three years actually doing the work. Body comp scans, protein math, training prescriptions, lab tracking, off-ramp protocols — all of it. This isn't an add-on track. It's how we coach.

◆ Proximity
4 Miles
From Mayo.
Most of our GLP-1 clients get their scripts written across the hospital campus. We coordinate directly with providers when clients want us to.
◆ Experience
3 Years
Of Protocols.
We've been building GLP-friendly coaching since before it was a category. The playbook is mature. The mistakes have been made on someone else's clock.
◆ Roster
~100
Active Clients.
Running these protocols right now — in person at Detour and remote via Blueprint 360. You won't be the first. You won't be the test case.

03 / The Method

Anchor + Flex.
The Framework We Coach On.

Side effects rotate. Energy fluctuates. The dose titrates. Across that landscape, five things don't move. Five things flex with the body. Everyone's anchor is the same. Everyone's flex looks different.

◆ The Anchor

Non-Negotiable.

These don't move.
  • The protein floor. Daily minimum. Every day. Especially bad days.
  • Resistance training present. Frequency flexes. Showing up doesn't.
  • Body composition measured. Not the scale alone. Ever.
  • Provider coordination. Medication decisions stay with your doctor.
  • The off-ramp is a phase. Coached. Not improvised.
◆ The Flex

Adaptive.

These move with the body.
  • Training intensity rotates with nausea, energy, sleep.
  • Protein source shifts as taste and tolerance shift.
  • Meal frequency increases as meal size collapses.
  • Conditioning volume grows as appetite returns.
  • Session length shortens and extends day-to-day.
04 / What It Looks Like

Five Steps. Every Client.

We don't bolt GLP-friendly onto our normal coaching. It's the operating system. From first conversation to off-ramp, every client moves through the same five phases.

01

Intake

Free 30-min consult. We map your medication, current training, current protein, lab access, and goals.
Week 0
02

Baseline

InBody body composition scan. Strength assessment. Lab review if available. Real before-picture.
Week 1
03

Build

Protein floor calculated to your goal weight. Training prescription written. Side-effect playbook printed.
Week 1-2
04

Coach

Weekly check-ins. Re-scan every 8 weeks. Lab recheck at 90 days. We adjust the plan to your body.
Ongoing
05

Off-Ramp

12 weeks before any taper, the off-ramp protocol activates. This is where most coaches disappear.
Pre-taper +6 mo
05 / The Differentiator

Everyone Coaches
The Way Down.
We Coach The Way Out.

Two-thirds of weight is regained within a year of stopping a GLP-1. The reason is almost always the same — no muscle built underneath, no food system in place, no coach in the room when the medication stops doing the work.

We start the off-ramp 12 weeks before you taper. We rehearse hunger return, build the food prep system, bump protein to its upper bound, and audit strength markers. You walk out of the medication with infrastructure, not just a smaller body.

And if you've already stopped and you're regaining? No shame. Same protocol. The metabolic infrastructure is rebuildable.

◆ The Off-Ramp Protocol

Three Phases.
Six Months.

Phase 1
-3 mo
Pre-taper. Protein bumped to 2.0+ g/kg. Hunger return playbook. Food prep system built while you still have margin.
Phase 2
0 to +3 mo
Active taper. Weekly check-ins. Body comp + waist + photos. Watching for rebound hunger overshooting normal.
Phase 3
+3 to +12 mo
Post-medication. Quarterly checks. Maintenance dose conversation with provider if regain exceeds 5%.

07 / FAQ

Common Questions.

Do I Have To Be On A GLP-1 Yet?

No. Considering one is the best time to start. We do baseline labs, body comp, and build your training habit before the medication even shows up. The protocol works better with runway.

I'm Older. Is This For Me?

Especially for you. Lean mass loss matters more after 60. Protein floor goes higher (2.0 g/kg minimum), resistance training is non-negotiable, and dose titration usually goes slower than the manufacturer schedule.

I've Already Stopped. Now What?

No shame. Two-thirds of patients regain — that's the unsupported pathway, not a personal failure. Same protocol. We build the metabolic infrastructure that should've been there the first time.

Can I Still Do CrossFit?

Yes — eventually. Our AMP class (CrossFit-flavored) is the move once appetite, recovery, and energy support it. Most GLP-1 clients start in our BUILT track and earn the move to AMP around month three or four.

Do You Coordinate With Mayo?

Yes. When clients give us permission, we coordinate directly with their prescribing provider — body comp data, lab tracking, and structured taper support. Provider notes available on request.

How Much Does It Cost?

Format-dependent. Detour membership pricing on our services page. Hybrid and remote pricing varies by frequency of coaching contact. We figure out fit in the free consult before anyone talks numbers.

Do You Take Insurance?

No. We're a gym and a coaching practice, not a medical clinic. Some HSAs and FSAs reimburse memberships — check with your administrator. We can provide receipts.

Will You Tell Me What To Eat?

We'll tell you how to hit your protein floor. Beyond that, we coach principles — meal timing, protein-first ordering, soft proteins during nausea, food prep systems. Not meal plans. You'll have the framework, not a script.
