Health & Fitness Disclaimer

Talk to a physician before starting Atlas or any new exercise program if any of the following apply to you:

• You are over 35 and have not exercised regularly in the past year;
• You are pregnant or postpartum;
• You have heart disease, high blood pressure, or a history of cardiac events;
• You have diabetes or another chronic metabolic condition;
• You have orthopedic injuries (current or healing) that may be affected by lifting or impact;
• You are recovering from surgery or a serious illness;
• You take medications that affect heart rate, blood pressure, or balance;
• You have any other medical condition that exercise might affect.

If your doctor advises modifications, follow your doctor's guidance - not Atlas's.

If you are under 18, involve a parent or guardian in decisions about starting or changing a training program and use age-appropriate supervision where appropriate for the activity and your circumstances.

• Warm up appropriately for the activity and your experience level before attempting demanding sets.
• Use a load and technique you can control, and stop or reduce the load if your form deteriorates or you do not feel able to complete the movement safely.
• Use appropriate equipment and safety precautions for the exercise, such as a competent spotter or properly configured safety equipment when the movement, load, or environment calls for it.
• Listen to your body. Sharp pain, joint pain that persists past the warm-up, dizziness, chest pain, or sudden shortness of breath are reasons to stop. Seek medical attention for symptoms that may indicate an emergency or that persist.
• Manage hydration, nutrition, and other training conditions in a manner appropriate for you and any guidance you have received from a qualified professional.
• Allow appropriate recovery. Atlas recovery hints are general informational prompts, not a determination that you are recovered or ready to train.

Smart Coach observations, projected 1RM (e1RM) values, and rep / weight recommendations are computed from your logged training history using a published estimated one-rep-max formula (Epley), which we apply conservatively: a true single returns the weight you actually lifted rather than a higher projection, and repetitions are capped at 12 for projection purposes. They are statistical estimates, not prescriptions. Atlas does not know your sleep, nutrition, stress, joint history, or how your body feels on any given day - all of which are bigger factors than the math.

If a suggestion does not fit how you feel, your circumstances, or professional guidance you have received, disregard it and choose a more appropriate option.

Atlas writes your finished workouts to Apple Health and Android Health Connect. It does not read your health history back in, and nothing stored in those platforms informs any estimate, suggestion, or XP calculation. The one thing Atlas reads is live sensor data during a workout you started: heart rate and active energy from a paired watch, and location from your device during an outdoor cardio session. Location is used only while you train, to compute distance and pace; the individual location points are not saved with the session. Atlas does not interpret any of it medically, monitor it for health problems, or alert you to any condition.

If you experience signs of a medical emergency (chest pain, fainting, severe shortness of breath, signs of stroke), stop training immediately and call your local emergency number.

Atlas does not provide emergency services and is not designed to detect, prevent, or treat any medical condition.

Strength training carries inherent risk of injury. By using Atlas you acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in physical activity and that you assume all associated risks. The controlling assumption-of-risk and release terms, including the express release of ordinary negligence where permitted by law and all applicable exceptions, are stated in Section 8 of the Terms of Service.

This Disclaimer is incorporated into the Terms of Service, but it does not create a second or different release from the one stated in Section 8.
