Terms of Service

SetLift LLC

Effective September 23, 2026 · Last updated September 23, 2026

Read this first

SetLift is a fitness app, not a medical service. Strength training carries real risk of injury. Nothing in SetLift, including workouts generated by AI and guidance from coaches on the platform, is medical advice. Section 9 covers this in full, and it matters more than the rest of this document.

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and SetLift LLC, a California limited liability company ("SetLift", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the SetLift application or setlift.app, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use SetLift.

2. Who can use SetLift

You must be at least 16 years old to use SetLift. When you create an account we ask for your date of birth, and an account whose date of birth shows its holder is under 16 is deleted. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian, and they must agree to these Terms on your behalf. Some features may be restricted by age.

You must not use SetLift if you are barred from doing so under the laws of your jurisdiction, or if we have previously terminated your account.

3. Your account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for everything that happens under your account. Keep your credentials confidential and tell us promptly at support@setlift.app if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

One person, one account. Do not impersonate anyone, do not create an account on someone else's behalf without authority, and do not transfer your account to another person.

You can delete your account at any time from within the app. Deletion is permanent.

4. Acceptable use and community rules

SetLift includes groups, posts, comments, direct messages, and shared content. The following are not permitted anywhere on the platform:

Coaches carry an additional obligation: do not misrepresent your certifications, qualifications, or experience, and do not present yourself as a licensed medical, nutritional, or mental-health professional unless you actually hold that licence.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you create in SetLift: your workouts, programs, posts, messages, photos, and videos ("Your Content").

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and transmit Your Content solely for the purpose of operating SetLift: showing it back to you, delivering it to the people you send or share it with and to services you choose to connect, such as Strava, and creating the backups and technical copies that storage requires. This licence exists only so the app can function. We do not use Your Content for marketing, we do not license it to anyone else, and we do not train AI models on it. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to the backup periods described in the Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the right to post what you post, and that it does not violate anyone else's rights.

Sharing outside SetLift. When you share content outside SetLift, for example as a link, to Instagram, or by connecting Strava and posting your workouts there, you direct us to send it, and that service's own terms and privacy policy govern it from then on. A link you share can be opened by anyone who has it. Connecting Strava is optional, Strava is a separate company, and you can disconnect it at any time in Settings → Integrations.

6. Reporting, blocking, and enforcement

We take content and conduct reports seriously.

Group posts and comments are additionally checked for hate speech and explicit sexual content, and anything matching is queued for us to review. This check is for review only; it never blocks, hides, edits or deletes what you post, and we do not notify you about it. Private coaching messages are not scanned.

Where content violates these Terms we may remove it, limit its visibility, warn the user, suspend the account, or terminate it, with or without prior notice, depending on severity. Egregious violations, particularly anything involving minors or credible threats of harm, result in immediate termination and, where appropriate, a report to law enforcement.

If you believe we removed your content in error, reply to the notice we sent you or email report@setlift.app and we will review it.

Copyright complaints

If you believe content on SetLift infringes your copyright, send a notice to report@setlift.app including: identification of the work, identification of the infringing material and where it appears, your contact information, a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorised, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorised to act, and your physical or electronic signature.

7. Coaches and clients

SetLift lets independent fitness coaches connect with clients. Coaches are not employees, agents, or representatives of SetLift. We provide the software; we do not provide coaching.

Before an account can use the coaching tools, we ask the applicant for their name, contact email, certifying body and certification number, a description of their experience, a link to a public profile or website, and a photo of themselves. We review what they send: we may check the certification number against the certifying body's own public records, and compare the photo against the public profile they gave us. The photo is deleted once the review is complete.

That is the whole of it. It is a documentation check on information a person volunteered about themselves. It is not an endorsement of that coach's competence, judgment, or the safety of their programming. We do not meet coaches, assess their training, run background checks, confirm that they hold insurance, or supervise anything they do with a client afterwards. A "Verified" marker means the paperwork we asked for was provided and was consistent. It does not mean we vouch for the person.

Choosing a coach is your decision and your responsibility. SetLift does not publish a directory of coaches, and does not recommend, rank, match, or introduce coaches to clients. A coaching connection exists only because one of you gave the other an invite code; we had no part in how you found each other. Before you train with someone, satisfy yourself that they are qualified for what you are asking of them: confirm their certification directly with the body that issued it, ask about their insurance and their experience with your goals and any injuries you have, and speak to your doctor. If a coach asks you to do something that seems unsafe, do not do it.

Any agreement between a coach and a client, including payment, scheduling, and the content of the coaching, is between those two people. SetLift is not a party to it and is not responsible for it.

If you are a coach, you are responsible for your own licensing, insurance, taxes, and compliance with the laws that apply to your practice. When you apply for verification you confirm that you carry your own liability insurance, and we record the date of that confirmation. We do not verify it, and we do not require proof of it; the obligation to actually hold it is yours.

Coaches may record private notes about clients. Clients cannot see these notes in the app. Coaches: write them accordingly, and remember they may be disclosed if legally compelled.

Some coaches may ask you to sign a liability and assumption-of-risk agreement specific to your coaching relationship, in addition to the general acknowledgment in Section 9. If you sign one, we keep a permanent record of the exact text you agreed to, your typed name, and the date, even after you delete your account or end the coaching relationship. This agreement is between you and your coach; SetLift provides the signing tool but is not a party to it, consistent with the rest of this section.

8. AI-generated content

SetLift can generate workouts and programs, and import routines from text or photos, using the Google Gemini API. This output is produced automatically. It is not reviewed by a human, a certified trainer, or a medical professional before you see it.

AI output can be wrong. It may suggest loads, volumes, or exercises that are inappropriate for your experience, your equipment, or your injuries, including injuries you have told us about. Treat every generated workout as a starting suggestion to apply your own judgment to, not as a prescription. If something looks wrong, it may be.

9. Health and fitness disclaimer

SetLift is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. The app, its content, its AI-generated programming, and any material provided by coaches on the platform are for general informational and fitness purposes only. They are not a substitute for diagnosis, treatment, or advice from a qualified healthcare provider.

Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program, particularly if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, are recovering from injury or surgery, have a chronic condition, take medication that affects exercise tolerance, or have been sedentary.

Stop immediately and seek medical attention if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, faintness, or sharp or unusual pain during exercise.

You assume all risk. Resistance training, and the loads and progressions suggested in this app, carry an inherent risk of serious injury or death. By using SetLift you acknowledge that risk and accept it voluntarily. You are solely responsible for exercising within your abilities, using proper form, and using appropriate safety equipment and spotters.

Body metrics, goal weights, and progress tracking are tools, not clinical assessments. If you are struggling with your relationship to food, exercise, or your body, please speak to a healthcare professional.

10. Paid features and subscriptions

SetLift is currently free and there is no way to be charged. SetLift is not on the App Store yet. In the TestFlight beta, the SetLift Pro screens work against Apple's test store: a purchase there is a test, you are not charged, and the Pro access it gives may be removed at any time.

We anticipate introducing a paid tier. If and when we do, the following will apply, and we will give you notice before any charge is possible:

Prices shown in the app are the prices SetLift Pro will cost, but until SetLift is on the App Store they are not an offer and nothing can be bought.

11. Our intellectual property

SetLift, its name, logo, software, design, and the exercise content we license are owned by SetLift LLC or its licensors and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the app for your own fitness purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from any part of SetLift, or extract our exercise database for use elsewhere.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using SetLift and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or other users, or if we discontinue the service. Where circumstances allow we will give notice and an opportunity to respond; where the violation is severe we may act immediately.

Sections 5, 9, 11, and 13 through 16 survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

SetLift is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that data will never be lost, or that the exercise information, AI output, or coach-provided content is accurate, complete, or appropriate for you.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SetLift LLC and its members, officers, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or personal injury, arising out of or relating to your use of SetLift, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of SetLift will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SetLift LLC and its members, officers, and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of SetLift, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your violation of the rights of any third party, including, if you are a coach, any claim brought by a client relating to your coaching.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You and SetLift agree that any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Before filing anything, please email support@setlift.app; most problems are faster to solve directly, and we would rather fix it than litigate it.

Nothing here prevents you from bringing a claim in small claims court, or from reporting a concern to a regulator or consumer protection authority.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms. When we make material changes we will notify you in the app or by email before they take effect, and update the date at the top. Continuing to use SetLift after a change means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, delete your account.
