Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Strength training-based exerciseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The strength training-based exercise intervention will be delivered via group-based Zoom sessions, motivational text messages, and a website. Participants will take part in two group-based Zoom exercise sessions (40-minute exercise sessions and 20 minutes of motivational counseling) and two individual exercise sessions per week for three months. Exercise sessions will include a combination of various aerobic and muscle strengthening exercises designed to keep heart rate in the 60-85% range of maximum heart rate. Motivational counseling will be focused on increasing motivation to exercise and habit formation. Strength training-based participants will also receive access to a mobile phone-friendly study website and will receive email messages. Both the website and email messages will contain motivational content to complete the exercise sessions.
Group II: No contact, wait-list controlActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the no contact, wait-list control intervention will participate in assessments at baseline and three months. Following the six month assessment, participants will have the option of receiving the strength training-based intervention as described above.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I am 43 and have had 8 pregnancies, and four live births in the past 10 years. I was very active prior to getting married and pregnant, but have struggled to stay consistent with movement since having children, especially because I am very sick during pregnancy.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments
I’ve tried a lot of things over the years to lose weight. I used to do CrossFit and other workouts but it’s been years now and I’m now out of shape and very overweight. I feel like as I’m getting older, it’s increasingly harder for me to lose weight with diet only. I really don’t want surgery.
