Health, Fitness & Nutrition Disclaimer

1. For Informational Purposes Only

The content published on www.mettlefit.co.uk — including blog articles, programme descriptions, exercise guidance, nutritional information, and any other health or fitness-related material — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

This content does not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified medical professional, physiotherapist, registered dietitian, or other licensed healthcare provider.

2. Consult a Doctor Before You Start

Before beginning any new exercise programme, physical activity, or nutrition plan — including any programme offered by Mettle Fitness — you should:

• Consult your GP or a qualified healthcare professional, particularly if you have any pre-existing medical condition, injury, or health concern
• Disclose any medications you are taking that may affect your ability to exercise safely
• Complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) honestly and fully
• Seek specialist advice if you are pregnant, postpartum, or have been advised by a doctor to avoid strenuous physical activity

This is especially important for women experiencing perimenopause or menopause, as hormonal changes can affect cardiovascular health, bone density, joint stability, and overall physiological response to exercise.

3. Exercise Carries Inherent Risk

Physical exercise, by its nature, carries an inherent risk of injury. Mettle Fitness takes every reasonable measure to ensure that programmes and content are safe, evidence-based, and appropriate for the target audience.

However, Mettle Fitness, Paola Roura, and any associated trainers or contributors accept no liability for any injury, loss, or damage — whether direct or indirect — arising from:

• Attempting any exercise, movement, or physical activity described or demonstrated on this website without direct, in-person supervision from a qualified trainer
• Failing to disclose a relevant medical condition prior to participating in a programme
• Ignoring guidance provided during a programme or continuing to exercise despite pain, discomfort, or warning signs
• Applying information from this website in a manner inconsistent with its intended purpose

4. Nutrition Information

Any nutritional guidance published on this website is general in nature and intended for educational purposes only. It is not tailored to individual medical needs and should not replace advice from a registered dietitian or nutritionist.

If you have a condition that requires a medically supervised diet — including but not limited to diabetes, eating disorders, cardiovascular disease, or food allergies — please seek professional guidance before making any dietary changes.

5. Results May Vary

Any results, testimonials, or case studies featured on this website represent individual experiences. Results are not guaranteed and will vary depending on factors including age, fitness level, health status, consistency, and adherence to the programme.

6. Stop If You Feel Unwell

If at any point during exercise you experience chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, sharp joint pain, or any other unusual symptoms, stop immediately and seek medical attention.

7. Professional Supervision

Exercises demonstrated or described on this website are designed to be performed under the guidance of a qualified personal trainer. Attempting these exercises independently, without prior instruction or supervision, increases the risk of injury. Mettle Fitness strongly recommends working directly with a qualified trainer before attempting new movements.
