Not medical care.

The site and custom plans provide fitness programming and general education. They do not diagnose, treat or replace a physician, registered dietitian, physical therapist, licensed mental-health professional or emergency service.

Exercise risk and clearance

Exercise can cause soreness, falls, equipment injury or aggravation of a condition. Obtain appropriate clearance before starting if you have a condition, concerning symptoms, pregnancy/postpartum considerations, recent surgery or injury, an eating disorder or instructions to limit activity.

Stop and seek care

Stop exercising and seek appropriate care for chest pain or pressure, fainting, severe or unusual shortness of breath, sudden neurological symptoms, severe pain or any dangerous symptom. In an emergency, contact local emergency services; do not wait for an email response.

Nutrition and supplements

Food content is general education about meal structure and habits. Additional NASM course completion does not make Frank a registered dietitian or clinician. The service does not prescribe supplements, calories, macronutrients, treatment diets or medical nutrition therapy.

Safety screen

The intake uses limited yes/no questions to identify when the service may be outside scope. It is not a diagnosis, medical assessment or substitute for a qualified professional.

No guaranteed result

No specific weight, body-composition, muscle, performance or health result is promised.
