1. EDUCATIONAL AND PERFORMANCE PURPOSE ONLY
The training programmes, coaching guidance, articles, resources and information provided by APEC LLC through its website https://apecfitness.com and through written service agreements are educational in nature and are intended to help you understand training principles, periodization, load management and concurrent programming (integrated strength and endurance work). All content is designed to support the performance goals you set with your coach or training provider. Nothing on this website or in any training plan created by APEC LLC is intended as a substitute for personal instruction, professional coaching supervision, or the guidance of qualified medical or healthcare professionals. You are responsible for your own safety and the decisions you make regarding your participation in physical training.
2. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
APEC LLC does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, cure or prevention of any disease, injury or medical condition. The company is not a licensed medical provider, and no employee, contractor, or representative of APEC LLC holds a medical license. Training plans, coaching guidance and periodization schemes are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any illness, injury or disease. Nothing provided by APEC LLC is a substitute for the advice, diagnosis, treatment or care given by a qualified physician, licensed physical therapist, sports medicine specialist, registered dietitian, mental health professional or any other licensed healthcare provider. If you have any medical concern, injury, condition or question about your health, you must consult a qualified healthcare professional before, during and after your training engagement with APEC LLC.
3. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE STARTING
You must consult a licensed physician before starting any new training programme, especially if you fall into any of the following categories: you have a pre-existing injury, chronic illness or medical condition; you have cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, diabetes or any disease of the heart, blood vessels or lungs; you are pregnant or recently postpartum; you are over age 45 and have not exercised regularly for some time; you take prescription medications; you have experienced chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting; you have a family history of early heart disease or sudden cardiac death; you have not engaged in structured physical training for an extended period; or you have any other health concern. Your physician may recommend a medical evaluation, exercise stress test or other assessment before you begin training. Do not delay this consultation. If your physician advises against a particular activity or programme, follow that advice and inform your coach or trainer immediately.
4. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Physical training, strength work, endurance exercise and athletic activity carry inherent risk of injury, including but not limited to muscle strain, muscle soreness, joint pain, ligament or tendon injury, fracture, and in rare cases, serious or life-threatening conditions including cardiac events. You acknowledge that you understand these risks and that you choose to engage in training with full knowledge and acceptance of the possibility of injury. By requesting a training plan from APEC LLC or by undertaking any programme recommended or designed by APEC LLC, you assume all risk of injury or harm that may result from your participation.
5. INDIVIDUAL RESULTS VARY; NO GUARANTEE
Results from training vary widely from person to person and depend on many factors, including your starting point, genetics, age, diet, sleep, stress, recovery practices, consistency, adherence to the programme, and individual physiology. APEC LLC makes no promise, guarantee or warranty regarding any outcome, including but not limited to weight loss, fat loss, muscle gain, change in body composition, improvement in athletic performance, achievement of a specific performance target, attainment of a goal within a stated timeframe, or any other measurable or observable result. No testimonial, case study or example of a client's outcome applies to you or predicts your personal results. You may see no change, or change may be slower or different than you expect. APEC LLC does not guarantee that you will achieve any result whatsoever.
6. STOP IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK HELP
You must stop training immediately and seek professional medical attention if you experience any of the following: chest pain or pressure; severe shortness of breath; dizziness, fainting or loss of consciousness; severe or unusual joint or muscle pain; any sensation of something being wrong that does not feel safe or normal. Do not push through these symptoms. Do not wait. Do not assume they will pass. Stop, rest and seek medical care at once. If you are unsure whether a symptom warrants medical attention, err on the side of caution and consult a healthcare provider.
7. NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE
APEC LLC is not an emergency medical service. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, life-threatening condition, severe injury, chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, or any other condition that requires immediate care, call emergency services in your jurisdiction immediately (in the United States, call 911). Do not contact APEC LLC for emergency care. Your safety in an emergency depends on immediate professional medical intervention, not on communication with your coach or training provider.
8. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
The quality and safety of any training plan depends entirely on the accuracy, completeness and honesty of the information you provide. You must disclose all relevant information to APEC LLC before and during your coaching engagement, including but not limited to your current and past injuries; any illness or medical condition; all medications and supplements you take; any surgery or medical procedure you have had; pregnancy or postpartum status; your training history and experience; any pain, discomfort or limitation you have; and any other constraint or concern that might affect your training. If you withhold, misrepresent or fail to disclose material information, the training plan may be unsafe or inappropriate for you, and APEC LLC cannot be held responsible for any resulting injury or harm. If your circumstances change during your engagement, you must inform your coach or contact APEC LLC immediately.
