Medical Disclaimer

1. We are not a healthcare provider

Stupid Simple Fitness ("the Service") generates workout plans, recommendations, and written feedback using AI. The Service does not:

• Provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
• Replace evaluation or care from a licensed physician, physical therapist, registered dietitian, athletic trainer, or any other qualified healthcare professional.
• Establish a doctor-patient or trainer-client relationship.
• Account for medical history, conditions, medications, or constraints we do not know about.

The Service is built for generally healthy adults who want a structured, individualized plan to train against. It is not built for clinical populations, post-operative rehabilitation, return-to-sport protocols after serious injury, or any other context where you need an actual professional in the loop.

2. Talk to a professional first

Get cleared by a qualified healthcare professional before you start using a plan from the Service if any of the following apply to you:

• You have not exercised regularly in a long time.
• You have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or other cardiovascular concern.
• You have diabetes, an autoimmune condition, or any other chronic illness.
• You are pregnant, recently postpartum, or trying to conceive.
• You are recovering from surgery, injury, or a recent illness.
• You take medication that affects exertion, blood pressure, hydration, or recovery.
• You have a history of disordered eating or body-image difficulties.
• You are under 18 (in which case you should not be using the Service at all; see our Terms of Service).
• You have been told by a healthcare professional, ever, that exercise should be modified or supervised for you.
• Anything else gives you a reasonable doubt about whether unsupervised training is safe for your body, today.

3. Stop and get help when something is wrong

Stop the workout immediately and seek medical attention if you experience:

• Chest pain, pressure, or tightness.
• Sudden shortness of breath out of proportion to the effort.
• Lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting.
• Sharp, sudden, or unfamiliar joint pain.
• A "pop" or tear sensation, sudden swelling, or loss of function in a limb.
• Vision changes, severe headache, or confusion.
• Any symptom that scares you. The plan can wait. Your body cannot.

If you are in the United States and the situation is urgent, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Outside the U.S., call your local emergency number.

4. Your honest input is part of the safety system

The AI is configured with safety rails. Those rails depend on the information you give the Service. If you tell the Service you have no injuries when you have a torn meniscus, the plan is going to load that meniscus. If you tell the Service you can run six days a week when you currently run zero, the plan is going to act like it.

The most important safety feature in the Service is your willingness to tell it the truth, and to update it when something changes. If something starts to bother you, log it. If you got a new diagnosis, update your profile.

5. Eating, weight, and body image

The Service will refuse plans that pattern-match to disordered eating: aggressive weight-loss timelines that imply unsafe deficits, restriction-coded language, fixation on a number on a scale, aesthetic deadlines that don't math without harm. We do this because we care, not because we're judging.

If you are struggling with disordered eating or body-image distress, please talk to a qualified clinician. In the U.S., the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline is 1-866-662-1235. Internationally, please reach out to a local provider.

6. We are AI. We will sometimes be wrong.

The AI that builds your plan is excellent at structure, periodization, and pattern recognition. It is not infallible. It can mis-prescribe. It can miss context. It can fail to connect two facts that a human coach would connect immediately.

Treat the plan as a serious, well-designed starting point that you, an adult with a body, get to evaluate. If something on a given day looks wrong, do not do it. Use the under-the-hood reasoning to understand why the AI chose what it chose, and then make the call.

7. Assumption of risk and release

Physical exercise carries an inherent risk of injury, including serious injury. By using the Service and acting on the plans it generates, you assume that risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Linchpin Industries, its officers, employees, and contractors, and all parties involved in operating the Service, from any claim, liability, or damages arising out of injury, illness, or other harm related to your use of any plan, recommendation, or content provided by the Service. This release does not limit liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, claims of gross negligence or willful misconduct).

8. This is part of the Terms of Service
