It’s Not Just the Medicine
How CrossFit Cerberus Helps You Build the Body, and the Life, That Sets You Free
If you're working with a doctor to lose weight, manage chronic conditions, or take a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic or Mounjaro, that's an excellent start.
But here's what most people miss:
Your doctor is only one part of your health team.
Without coaching, strength training, and lifestyle structure, you're missing a vital piece of the puzzle.
At CrossFit Cerberus, we help you build the body and routine that allows your medication to work better and eventually helps you get off it altogether.
The Trap of Medical Dependency
Many people think the biggest challenge is losing the weight.
But in truth, the bigger trap is what comes after.
GLP-1 medications often bring rapid success, but that success can come with fear:
- What if I gain it all back?
- What if I can't stay off the meds?
- What if I can’t live without them?
You break free from one trap only to fall into another: the fear of failing again.
At Cerberus, we replace that fear with action, confidence, and a system that works.
The Real Cost of Inaction: Obesity and Chronic Disease
Obesity increases your risk for nearly every major chronic disease:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Cancer
- Liver disease (MASLD)
- Sleep apnea
- Metabolic syndrome
- High blood pressure
- Kidney disease
According to the CDC, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes alone accounted for 47% of all U.S. deaths in 2020 (CDC, 2023).
These risks rise dramatically as your BMI increases (Agborsangaya et al., 2013).
These are not just statistics. These are preventable losses, many of which could be delayed or avoided through nutrition, strength training, and routine
(Rutledge et al., 2018).
Where Your Doctor Leaves Off, We Pick Up
Doctors and medications can help stabilize your body, but they don't build it.
They don't:
- Teach you how to move again
- Show you how to eat for strength and energy
- Help you rebuild your confidence
- Create a lifestyle that supports long-term change
That’s our job.
At CrossFit Cerberus, we help you:
- Build strength so your metabolism stays high
- Improve mobility and posture
- Train consistently in a safe, supportive environment
- Establish daily habits that reduce dependency on medication
- Create community so you're never doing it alone
It Starts with the Right Foundation
Our CrossFit Essentials class is the perfect starting point for anyone coming from:
- Zero training experience
- Weight loss medication use
- Post-physical therapy
- Or simply years of trying and failing on your own
You’ll learn:
- Barbell, dumbbell, and kettlebell basics
- Prehab movements to fix imbalances and prevent injury
- Confidence under load, so you feel strong—not scared—in your body
The Goal Isn’t Just Getting Off the Medication…
The goal is never needing it again.
That happens by building:
- A stronger body
- A more resilient mind
- A support system that actually works
- A routine that holds up when motivation fades
Too many people leave their entire health journey in the hands of a doctor.
But a doctor isn’t going to teach you how to deadlift, meal prep, or break a stress-eating loop.
That’s where we come in—and why we need to be on your team.
The Evidence Is Clear
- Obesity is linked to nearly every leading cause of death in the U.S. (CDC, 2023)
- Many chronic conditions are preventable through diet and exercise (Rutledge et al., 2018)
- Lifestyle changes could prevent 30,000+ liver-related deaths annually (Simon et al., 2021)
- The risk of multiple concurrent diseases rises as BMI increases (Agborsangaya et al., 2013)
