Medical Disclaimer

Effective date: May 1, 2026

LiftProof is a general wellness product operated by Stoa LLC dba LiftProof. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The information presented in the iOS app, the Apple Watch app, the liftproof.app website, and any connected surfaces (collectively, the “Service”) is for informational and educational purposes only.

1. Not medical advice

Nothing in the Service constitutes medical advice, a medical diagnosis, or a course of treatment. Always consult a qualified physician or other licensed healthcare provider before starting any exercise program, nutrition plan, supplement regimen, or change to your training routine — especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, recovering from an injury, or managing a chronic condition.

2. Not a substitute for professional guidance

Blog articles, exercise references, training programs, calculator outputs, recovery scores, and progressive-overload recommendations published in the Service are not a substitute for individualized professional guidance from a doctor, registered dietitian, physical therapist, or qualified strength coach. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you read or computed in LiftProof. If you have any concern about your health, contact a qualified provider.

3. Inherent risks of exercise

Weightlifting, resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and all forms of physical activity carry inherent risks of injury — including but not limited to sprains, strains, fractures, joint injuries, and cardiovascular events. By using the Service and following any information it provides, you acknowledge and accept these risks. You are solely responsible for determining whether any exercise, load, or training program is appropriate for your physical condition and fitness level.

4. Supplement information

Any information about dietary supplements (creatine, protein, caffeine, electrolytes, and other ergogenic aids) referenced in our blog, glossary, or in-app context cards is provided for educational purposes only and is not a recommendation, prescription, or endorsement. Supplements may interact with medications or pre-existing conditions. Consult your healthcare provider before taking any supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Per FDA / DSHEA framing, supplement statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

5. Calculator and estimate accuracy

The TDEE estimator, macro calculator, one-rep-max calculator, body-recomposition tool, RPE chart, strength-standards reference, and in-app derivations such as estimated 1RM, training-tier band, recovery score, and the energy-balance sub-surface produce estimates derived from generalized published formulas. These are not precise measurements and should not be treated as medical or nutritional guidance. Individual results vary based on metabolism, body composition, genetics, training history, sleep, stress, and adherence. Consult a registered dietitian or physician for personalized nutrition advice and a qualified strength coach for personalized programming.

6. Individual results vary

Strength-tier benchmarks, progress charts, recovery indicators, sample program outcomes, and any results referenced in marketing copy or blog content are general guidelines. Your personal results will vary based on age, sex, genetics, training history, nutrition, sleep, stress, injury history, and adherence. LiftProof does not guarantee any specific outcome from using the Service and any progress claims should be read as “some users may” rather than “you will.”

7. Stop activity if symptoms occur

If you experience pain, discomfort, dizziness, faintness, shortness of breath, nausea, chest pressure, abnormal heart rhythm, or any other concerning symptom during or after exercise, stop the activity immediatelyand seek medical attention. Do not attempt to “push through” pain or symptoms. Your safety is more important than any workout, set, or programmed session.

8. Apple Health, recovery score, and energy balance

LiftProof reads sleep duration, heart-rate variability, and resting heart rate from Apple Health (with your permission) to compute an advisory recovery scoreshown before your workout. This score is informational — it is not a clinical indicator of readiness, illness, or fatigue, and it does not replace clinical evaluation. The optional energy-balance sub-surface compares logged bodyweight trends against estimated calorie intake and expenditure to produce a directional “your data shows” framing — it is not a clinical assessment of metabolic state, energy availability, or eating-disorder risk. Anyone with a history of disordered eating, an eating disorder, or related conditions should not rely on the energy-balance sub-surface for self-management and should work with a qualified clinician.

9. Assumption of responsibility

By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer. You assume full responsibility for your use of the information, exercises, programs, calculators, and recommendations provided. You agree that you use the Service at your own risk and that you are voluntarily participating in any physical activities influenced by Service content.

10. Crisis resources

If you are in a medical, mental-health, or eating-disorder crisis, the Service is not equipped to help. In the United States, call or text 988for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or contact the National Eating Disorders Association at nationaleatingdisorders.org. For physical-health emergencies, call 911 or your local emergency number.
