Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

Welcome to GymChamp. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the GymChamp fitness platform (the "Platform"), including the website and mobile apps. By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.

GymChamp is operated in the United Kingdom. These Terms are governed by the laws of England & Wales.

Important fitness & health disclaimer

GymChamp does not provide medical advice. The Platform provides fitness assessments, scores, benchmarks, challenges, training plans and recommendations for general fitness and informational purposes only. Fitness Scores, Cardio Fitness Age, component scores, bands and any other results are not a medical diagnosis and must not be treated as one.

Exercise carries inherent risk of injury, illness or worse. You participate in all GymChamp activities — including fitness tests, challenges, workouts and training plans — entirely at your own risk.

You should consult an appropriate medical or healthcare professional before undertaking any exercise or training plan if you are or may be affected by any of the following (this list is not exhaustive): you are or may be pregnant; you have a medical condition; you have high blood pressure; you have a heart condition; you are currently ill; you are recovering from injury; or you have any other reason to believe exercise may not be appropriate for you.

Stop exercising immediately and seek appropriate professional advice if you experience pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, chest pain, faintness or any other concerning symptoms during or after activity.

GymChamp is not a medical service and does not assess your personal medical suitability to exercise. You are solely responsible for determining whether any activity is appropriate for you and for exercising within your own limits.
