Peak 65 is not medical care
Peak 65 provides athletic training and coaching. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Peak 65 coaches are strength and conditioning coaches. They are not physicians, physical therapists, dietitians, psychologists, or any other kind of licensed healthcare provider. Nothing they tell you is a medical opinion, and no part of Peak 65 creates a doctor-patient relationship.
Talk to a doctor before you start
Consult a physician before beginning Peak 65 or any exercise program, especially if you:
- Have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or a history of cardiac events
- Have been told you have a medical condition that could be affected by exercise
- Experience chest pain, pressure, or discomfort during physical activity
- Become dizzy, faint, or lose your balance
- Have a bone, joint, or soft tissue problem that exercise could worsen
- Are pregnant, recently gave birth, or are trying to conceive
- Take medication that affects your heart rate, blood pressure, hydration, or balance
- Are recovering from illness, surgery, or injury
- Have been inactive for an extended period
- Are over 40 and beginning intense training
If you are not sure whether this applies to you, ask a doctor.
Stop training and get help if this happens
Stop immediately and seek medical attention if you experience:
- Chest pain, pressure, tightness, or discomfort
- Shortness of breath beyond what normal exertion explains
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
- An irregular, racing, or pounding heartbeat
- Severe or unusual pain, especially sudden pain
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness, particularly on one side
- Confusion, slurred speech, or vision changes
- Nausea or vomiting during or after exercise
- Dark or cola-colored urine, or severe muscle pain and swelling after a hard session — these can be signs of rhabdomyolysis, which is a medical emergency
If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number. Do not message your coach and wait for a reply.
Your app data is not a diagnostic tool
Peak 65 may show you heart rate, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep and recovery information, taken from a wearable you connect or from screenshots you upload.
This is training information, not medical information. Specifically:
- It is not a medical device and has not been evaluated by any regulator for the diagnosis or treatment of any condition.
- It is not monitored in real time. Nobody is watching it as you train.
- It can be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or missing, for reasons including device error, poor sensor contact, sync failure, and misreading of an uploaded image.
- It is not reviewed by a clinician.
Do not use anything in Peak 65 to detect, diagnose, monitor, or rule out a medical condition. Do not delay seeing a doctor because your numbers looked normal in the app, and do not conclude you have a condition because they looked unusual. If something feels wrong with your body, see a doctor, regardless of what the app shows.
Tell us what we need to know
Your programming is built from what you tell us. If you have an injury, an illness, a limitation, or a change in your health, tell your coach. We cannot account for something we do not know about, and a program written without that information may not be safe for you.
Your decisions are yours
Every session Peak 65 prescribes is a recommendation. You decide whether to perform it, modify it, reduce it, or skip it. You know how you feel today and we do not. Choosing to stop is always the right call when something is wrong.
