Medical Disclaimer

Effective date: October 6, 2026

FitApp gives general fitness and nutrition information, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise, diet or supplement plan, especially if you have a health condition, take medication or are pregnant.

FitApp doesn't diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it doesn't replace a doctor or other qualified health professional.

How the coach works

The coach is an AI. It writes general guidance from your answers, from a curated library of sources such as the World Health Organization, national health agencies and peer-reviewed position statements, and from recent research reviews and guidelines it finds on PubMed for your question. Each recommendation cites at least two of them. Papers found on PubMed are marked as such: our team hasn't reviewed them yet. If it can't find two sources that support something, it says so and doesn't recommend it.

It can still be wrong, and it can't examine you or know your full medical history. If you connect Apple Health or Health Connect, the coach uses averages such as your sleep and resting heart rate to adjust how hard you train. These readings come from consumer devices and are approximate. The coach is instructed not to diagnose or interpret them medically, and to suggest you talk to a doctor if they look concerning.

When to see a professional

Talk to a doctor or another qualified health professional before following any plan if any of these apply to you:

• You're pregnant, gave birth in the last 6 months, or are breastfeeding.
• You have a heart condition, high blood pressure or chest pain, have had a stroke, or take beta blockers or other heart medicines.
• You get dizzy, faint or have seizures, or have epilepsy.
• You have or have had an eating disorder, or you're an adult whose weight is very low for your height.
• A doctor has told you not to exercise, or to exercise only with supervision.
• You have another serious condition, such as type 1 diabetes or using insulin, kidney disease or dialysis, cancer or its treatment, or recent surgery, or you take blood thinners.

The coach asks about these in its quiz, and acts on them if you mention one later in the chat. If your answers show any of them, it won't build a plan or give exercise, diet or supplement advice, and it stops showing any plan you already have. Instead it asks you to see a doctor or another qualified health professional first. If a professional clears you later, you can delete your health data in Settings and take the quiz again.

Stop exercising and get medical help if you feel chest pain, severe shortness of breath, dizziness or pain that doesn't go away. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. If you tell the coach about an emergency, such as chest pain right now, trouble breathing or thoughts of harming yourself, it will tell you to call that number.

Supplements

Supplements aren't checked for safety or effectiveness the way medicines are. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking any, especially if you take medication, have a health condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Supplement suggestions are only shown to adults.

Your responsibility

You decide whether to follow any guidance from FitApp. Listen to your body, start gently, and use good form. If something hurts or doesn't feel right, stop and get advice from a qualified professional.
