You're Losing Weight. But Are You Losing the Right Kind?
The medication works. You're seeing the scale drop week after week. But here's what most people don't realize: without strength training, up to 40% of your weight loss is muscle. Not fat. Muscle.
That's why you feel tired even though you're lighter. Why you're worried about loose skin. Why you wonder if the weight will come back when you stop the medication. Your body is burning through the very tissue that keeps you strong, energized, and independent.
You're not just losing fat. You're losing the muscle that powers your metabolism, protects your joints, and gives you the energy to live your life fully. The good news? This is completely preventable with the right approach to strength training.

Built by People Who've Been There
I'm Derek Batman, owner of Hardbat Athletics in Newark, Delaware. For over 14 years, we've helped hundreds of people build strength and lose weight the right way. Not through gimmicks or quick fixes, but through sustainable training that creates lasting results.
We've worked with dozens of people who've lost 50, 75, even 100+ pounds at our facility. But more importantly, we've helped them fall in love with training. We've watched them discover strength they didn't know they had and build confidence that extends far beyond the gym floor.
We built this program because we kept seeing the same problem: people on weight loss medication were losing muscle, feeling weak, and didn't know how to fix it. They were doing everything their doctor recommended, but nobody was telling them about the critical role of strength training.
So we fixed it. This program combines everything we've learned from working with real people getting real results with GLP-1 medications.
Real People. Real Results.

"I didn't just lose weight. I actually learned to love strength training."
- PJ
PJ's journey wasn't just about the number on the scale. It was about discovering what his body could do. About building strength and capability he never thought possible. About creating a lifestyle that he could maintain for years to come, not just a temporary diet that would eventually fail.
His story is proof that with the right program and the right support, you can lose weight and build the body you've always wanted.
What You Get: 12 Weeks to a Stronger You
Here's exactly what's inside the program.
01
Foundation & Mindset (Weeks 1-4)
  • Week 1: 5 minutes daily movement (build the habit)
  • Week 2: 10-12 minutes, 3x/week (add intensity)
  • Week 3: Progressive overload introduced (get stronger)
  • Week 4: Recovery week (rest and reflect)
The first month is all about establishing consistency. You're not trying to become a bodybuilder overnight. You're building a sustainable habit that will serve you for the rest of your life.
02
Skill Building & Consistency (Weeks 5-8)
  • Week 5: Add household items as weight (backpacks, water bottles)
  • Week 6: Upper/lower body split (train smarter)
  • Week 7: Tempo training (control the movement)
  • Week 8: Benchmark week (see your progress)
Now we're building on that foundation. You're learning proper form, understanding how your body moves, and starting to see real strength gains. This is where many people fall in love with training.
03
Capability & Confidence (Weeks 9-12)
  • Week 9: Strength + cardio blend (build capacity)
  • Week 10: Endurance training (increase volume)
  • Week 11: Core strength focus (stability matters)
  • Week 12: Final assessment (celebrate what you built)
The final phase is about showing yourself what you're capable of. You'll be amazed at how much stronger you feel compared to Week 1. This is where confidence soars.
Muscle Is Your Insurance Policy
Building and maintaining muscle isn't just about looking good or lifting heavy weights. It's about protecting your future. Muscle is the foundation of metabolic health, physical independence, and long-term weight maintenance. When you preserve muscle during weight loss, you're investing in a body that will serve you well for decades to come.
Burns Calories at Rest
Muscle is metabolically active tissue. Every pound of muscle you maintain burns calories 24/7, even while you sleep. The more muscle you have, the easier it is to maintain your weight loss long after you stop taking medication. It's like having a higher idle speed on your metabolism.
Protects Your Joints
Strong muscles support your joints and reduce injury risk as you age. They act as shock absorbers, taking pressure off your knees, hips, and back. This means less pain, better mobility, and the ability to stay active doing the things you love for years to come.
Boosts Energy
Strength training increases energy levels, improves mood, and helps you feel like yourself again. It enhances insulin sensitivity, improves sleep quality, and triggers the release of endorphins. Many clients tell us they have more energy at 50 than they did at 30, and it's because of their commitment to strength training.
What Our Clients Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what real people who've been through our programs have to say about their experience. These are everyday people who decided to prioritize their strength and health, and the results speak for themselves.
Sarah M., 47
"I was so worried about loose skin and losing strength while on Wegovy. This program gave me the structure I needed. I'm down 60 pounds and I feel stronger than I did in my 30s. People can't believe I'm almost 50!"
James T., 52
"I thought I was too old to start strength training. Derek and his team proved me wrong. The workouts were simple, but they worked. I've kept off 75 pounds for over a year now, and I'm lifting weights I never thought possible."
Maria R., 38
"The difference between this program and everything else I tried? This one actually taught me WHY I was doing each exercise and how to fuel my body properly on Mounjaro. I'm not just thinner—I'm genuinely stronger and healthier."
Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have questions. Here are the answers to the most common ones we hear. If you don't see your question here, reach out to us directly—we're here to help.
Do I need a gym membership?
No. The free 12-week program uses at-home workouts with no equipment required. You can do everything from your living room, bedroom, or even a hotel room if you're traveling. We'll show you how to use household items like backpacks and water bottles if you want to add resistance.
What if I've never strength trained before?
Perfect. This program is designed for beginners. We start with just 5 minutes a day and build from there. You'll learn proper form, safe movement patterns, and how to listen to your body. By Week 12, you'll be amazed at what you can do.
Will this work with my medication?
Yes. The program is designed specifically for people on GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound). The nutrition and training guidance accounts for how these meds affect your appetite, energy levels, and ability to build and maintain muscle.
How quickly will I see results?
Most people notice increased energy in the first 2-3 weeks. You'll feel stronger getting out of bed, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries. Visible muscle preservation and strength gains typically show up around Week 6-8. Remember, we're building sustainable change, not looking for quick fixes.
What if I can't keep up with the workouts?
Every workout has modifications. You move at your own pace. The goal is consistency, not perfection. If you can only do 3 minutes instead of 5, that's fine. If you need to take extra rest days, that's fine too. Progress isn't linear, and we're here to support you wherever you're starting from.
Is the free program really free?
Yes. 100% free. No credit card required. No hidden costs. No "free trial" that converts to paid. We built it to help people, not to trick them into paying later. If you want coaching support or in-person training, those are optional paid upgrades.
What's included in the remote coaching option?
You get a personal coach who checks in weekly, gives feedback on your workouts, answers your questions via text, and does monthly coaching calls with you. It's $299 for the full 12 weeks—less than $25/week for personalized support.
Where is Hardbat Athletics located?
Newark, Delaware. If you choose the in-person training option, you'll train at our facility. We're proud to serve the local community and have been doing so for over 14 years. If you choose remote coaching or the free program, you can do it from anywhere in the world.

🎁 Limited Bonus for In-Person Training
The first 10 people who sign up for personal training or small group training at Hardbat Athletics will get unlimited access to our large group classes for FREE. That means more training, more community, and faster results at no additional cost. Once these 10 spots are filled, this offer is gone.
You're Already Doing the Hard Part. Let's Make Sure It Lasts.
You're on the medication. You're showing up for yourself every single day. You're losing weight and making progress toward your goals. That takes courage and commitment, and you should be proud of how far you've come.
Don't let that effort go to waste by losing muscle in the process. Strength training is the missing piece that transforms weight loss into lasting transformation. And we're here to help you put it all together with a program that's proven, sustainable, and built specifically for people like you.
