Health disclaimer
General fitness and wellbeing, not treatment
I AM FITNESS provides general fitness and wellbeing coaching. It is not medical, physiotherapy, dietetic or psychological treatment, and it does not replace advice from your doctor or another qualified health professional. Nothing in our sessions, audio, programmes, emails or app is a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
Before you start
If you have an existing injury, disability, medical condition, are pregnant or have recently given birth, please consult your GP, physiotherapist or other qualified health professional before starting, and follow their advice. Stop any exercise that causes pain, dizziness or discomfort.
If you have any injury, get advice from your GP or physiotherapist first, and consult a health practitioner to make sure this is right for you. Stop exercising if anything causes pain or discomfort.
Our health check
We ask a short set of screening questions (the Adult Pre-Exercise Screening System, Stage 1, with questions on pregnancy, recent birth, pelvic pain and injuries) before your second challenge day and when you set up a membership. The check helps us offer you lower-impact sessions where that is the safer choice. It is a screening tool, not a medical assessment, and it depends on your answers being complete and current. Please update them when anything changes.
Pregnancy and after birth
If you are pregnant or have given birth in the last 12 months, please get clearance from your GP, obstetrician, midwife or women's health physiotherapist before exercising with us, and tell us in the health check so we can show you suitable sessions.
A healthy lifestyle
I AM FITNESS is designed to work in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle — balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, hydration and stress management. Results vary between individuals. For personalised dietary advice, consult an Accredited Practising Dietitian or your GP.
Any lifestyle content we publish (on sleep, hydration, recovery or eating) is general education only. We do not provide meal plans, calorie targets or supplement advice.
Mind and calm content
Our guided audio sessions (breathing, relaxation, mindset and hypnosis-style audio) are for general wellbeing. They are not counselling, psychotherapy or treatment for any condition. Do not listen to them while driving or doing anything that needs your attention. If you are receiving care for a mental-health condition, check with your treating professional before using them.
