Health Disclaimer

Coaching helps you train better. It is not healthcare. This page sets out the limits plainly, because your health matters more than any programme.

Not medical advice

Coaching, programmes, nutrition guidance and anything discussed in a session are general fitness information. They do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and they are not a substitute for advice from a doctor, physiotherapist or registered dietitian. Your coach is a fitness professional, not a medical practitioner.

Get cleared before you start

Talk to a doctor before starting or changing a training programme, especially if any of these apply to you:

• a heart condition, chest pain, or high or unstable blood pressure
• a current or recurring injury, joint problem or back problem
• dizziness, fainting or loss of balance
• pregnancy, or recent childbirth or surgery
• diabetes, epilepsy, an eating disorder, or any condition affected by exercise
• any medication that affects heart rate, blood pressure, balance or hydration

Tell your coach, and keep telling them

You are responsible for disclosing anything that affects your ability to train safely, before you start and whenever it changes. A coach can only work around what they know about. If something hurts, say so during the session, not afterwards.

Train within your limits

Strength training carries an inherent risk of injury. Stop immediately and seek medical help if you feel chest pain, severe shortness of breath, dizziness or sharp joint pain. You always decide whether to attempt a lift, a load or a session. Never push through a movement that feels wrong just because it is written in the programme.

Nutrition guidance

Any nutrition guidance is general and educational. It is not a prescribed diet or medical nutrition therapy. If you have a medical condition, a history of disordered eating, an allergy or specific clinical needs, work with a registered dietitian or your doctor. Where a plan includes consultations with a nutritionist, that professional is responsible for their own advice.

Third party services and venues

Where a plan includes gym access, recovery treatments or consultations delivered by someone else, those providers are independent and responsible for their own services, qualifications, insurance and equipment. Follow the venue's rules and use equipment as instructed.

The Vollkraaft app

The app includes automated features, including AI generated suggestions and camera based movement estimates. These are approximations meant to support training, they can be wrong, and they are never a medical assessment. Your coach's judgement and your own sense of your body come first. The app has its own terms covering this.

Results are not guaranteed

Progress depends on consistency, sleep, food, stress, genetics and life. No specific result, weight, physique or performance number is promised, by the coach or by the app.

Emergencies

This website is not for medical emergencies. If you think you are having one, call your local emergency number.
