When it comes to GLP-1-assisted weight loss, it’s tempting to focus only on the scale. But for Jason Bungo, the real success stories aren’t just about pounds lost. They’re about building the kind of strength, bone health, and daily movement that keep you strong for life.
As a certified personal trainer, strength and conditioning specialist, and nutrition coach, Jason plays an essential role in helping OrderlyMeds customers stay consistent, especially if you’re new to fitness, worried about muscle loss, or not sure where to begin. In this article, you’ll learn how Jason supports the OrderlyMeds community through the Trainerize app, what he wants you to know before you start, and why fitness on GLP-1s is about progress, not perfection.
A trusted voice in sustainable fitness
Jason has spent over eight years helping people make real, lasting changes. He holds certifications in personal training, strength and conditioning, and nutrition coaching, and has worked with everyone from everyday beginners to athletes chasing performance goals. What sets him apart? He knows that fitness isn’t about extremes.
People overestimate what they can do in three months but underestimate what they can do in one or two years. I always want whatever we do to be sustainable. No running a marathon after your first two months of training.

Fitness Guidance at OrderlyMeds
At OrderlyMeds, Jason leads the Trainerize program, a powerful tool that combines workout plans, meal tracking, and habit coaching in one simple app. “It’s habits, workouts, meal planning, your whole journey in one place,” he explains.
Through Trainerize, Jason helps customers:
- Find beginner-friendly workouts that build strength and protect joints
- Set realistic calorie and protein targets to help preserve muscle mass
- Troubleshoot aches and questions so you never feel alone
He’s especially focused on a common concern during weight loss: losing lean muscle.
When we cut calories, some of what we lose can be muscle. A good way to help support your body is to focus on strength training and getting enough protein. Talk with your care team about what’s right for you.

Expert insights: What every beginner should know
Why fitness matters on GLP-1s.
Jason is clear: movement is key if you want lasting results. “When GLP-1s are part of your plan, you still have to do your part. Protein is the nutrient the body uses to repair and build muscle, so it’s worth leveraging, and it gives you the most satiety.”
He also reminds people that cardio alone isn’t the magic bullet. “Cardio will make your heart stronger. Strength training builds muscle so you may burn more calories at rest. Talk with your care team about what’s right for you.”
His approach to sustainable progress
If you’re nervous about starting, Jason wants you to keep it simple. “Ease into all of it, make it as sustainable as possible. You can dedicate as much time as you want, but at the end of the day, a couple of full-body strength training sessions, a few cardio sessions, and staying active outside of that. That’s what works.”
He loves to break fitness down into manageable steps. “When we make a plan, it builds that self-belief. It’s as much psychological as it is physical. People don’t always believe they can look like that or do that, whatever their goal may be. It’s my job to show what going from A to B looks like.”
And when you feel intimidated about getting started in the gym, Jason says the strong guys and gals are usually resourceful and happy to help if you ask. “It’s like the fear of pain is worse than the pain. Remember, the heaviest weight in the gym is the front door.”
Answering common questions with care
Joint pain, fatigue, and low appetite can be concerns for beginners, especially while on GLP-1s, so always report new or ongoing symptoms to your care team. That’s why Jason emphasizes gentle progress. “Think of your body as a cup of stress. We know we need to move, but we don’t want to push over the edge by going too hard.”
If your energy dips, listen to your body and adjust your intensity or split workouts into smaller chunks. Every step adds up.
Why his work matters at OrderlyMeds
Jason’s approach is one of the reasons OrderlyMeds stands out. Alongside medical care, our team brings fitness and nutrition support together, and the Trainerize app, guided by Jason, puts expert support in your pocket. “It’s a privilege to work with people in the capacity we do as strength trainers and coaches,” he says.
He’s worked with people across a wide range of starting points and goals, and has helped many transform their mindset around what’s possible. Individual results vary.
We need the humility to really suck at something if we want to be good at it. There’s no other way to get there.

A final note from Jason
When he’s not coaching or troubleshooting workouts, Jason loves simple moments with his wife and dog. “Annie jokes I need non-physical hobbies to balance it out, movies and tasty food. Some things are good for the body, some are good for the soul. You just need to walk the line between.”
Takeaway for you
Don’t let the fear of doing it wrong stop you from starting. Small, consistent steps matter more than perfect workouts. As Jason puts it, “people overestimate what they can do in three months but underestimate what they can do in one or two years.” Trust the process, and keep moving.
