Fitness & Health Disclaimer

Last updated: July 2026

The information, tools, calculators and guides on GYMKA are provided for general educational purposes only. They are not medical advice and are no substitute for consultation with a qualified physician, physical therapist, or certified coach.

1. Educational information, not medical advice

Everything published on GYMKA, including our strength standards, one-rep-max estimates, calorie and TDEE calculators, and written training and nutrition guides, reflects widely accepted, evidence-informed principles of strength training. It is general information written for a broad audience. It does not account for your individual medical history, injuries, medications, or circumstances, and it should never be treated as a diagnosis, prescription, or personalized programming.

2. Consult a professional first

Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise or nutrition program, especially if you are pregnant, recovering from injury or surgery, managing a chronic condition, taking medication, or have any history of heart, joint, or blood-pressure problems. If a movement causes pain, dizziness, chest tightness, or shortness of breath, stop immediately and seek medical attention.

3. Estimates are estimates

GYMKA's one-rep-max, calorie, and strength-tier figures are mathematical projections based on the numbers you enter and published formulas (such as Epley, Brzycki, and Mifflin-St Jeor). They are approximations that can differ from your true values. Never load a bar or chase a target based on an estimate if it does not match what you can safely and technically control on the day.

4. Train within your ability

  • Warm up properly and progress load gradually.
  • Prioritise good technique over the number on the bar.
  • Use a spotter or safety equipment for heavy or maximal work.
  • Rest, recover, and stop when your body tells you to.

5. Assumption of risk & limitation of liability

Strength training and exercise carry inherent risks, including the risk of serious injury. By using GYMKA and following any information here, you accept those risks and agree that you do so at your own discretion and risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, GYMKA and its author are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from the use of this website, its tools, or its content. This disclaimer forms part of our Terms of Service.
