Health and Training Disclaimer
Last updated: 14 April 2026
Aithlo is not a medical service. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition, and the training plans it generates are not medical advice. You train at your own risk.
Please consult a doctor before you start
Before you begin any training programme generated by Aithlo, especially if any of the following apply to you, please speak to a qualified medical professional first:
- You have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, or any cardiovascular concern
- You are recovering from an injury, surgery, or illness
- You are pregnant, recently gave birth, or think you may be pregnant
- You have diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, or any other chronic condition
- You are new to endurance exercise or have not trained regularly in the past year
- You take medication that affects your heart rate, blood pressure, or energy levels
- You feel unwell, unusually tired, or unsure whether exercise is safe for you
If you are in any doubt, do not train until a doctor tells you it is safe.
Stop immediately if something feels wrong
During any Aithlo workout or ride, stop at once and seek medical help if you experience:
- Chest pain, pressure, or tightness
- Dizziness, light-headedness, or faintness
- Severe shortness of breath that does not match the effort
- An irregular, racing, or pounding heartbeat
- Nausea, vomiting, or cold sweats
- Sharp, sudden, or severe pain — especially in a joint, muscle, or your chest
- Any symptom that feels wrong or unusual to you
If you think you are having a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately. In France dial 15 (SAMU) or 112. In the United Kingdom dial 999 or 112. Do not wait, and do not rely on Aithlo.
The AI coach can be wrong
Aithlo's training plans, workouts, advice, and chat responses are generated by an artificial intelligence model. You should be aware that:
- The AI has never examined you in person and does not know your full medical history
- It works from the data you give it — if that data is incomplete or wrong, the plans it produces may be unsafe for you
- Large language models can generate confident but incorrect output. Plans may include sessions, intensities, or volumes that are not appropriate for your body on any given day
- The AI is not a doctor, physiotherapist, sports physician, or qualified coach, and cannot replace one
- It cannot detect overtraining, undiagnosed illness, or cardiac abnormalities
Treat Aithlo's output as a starting point, not a prescription. Use your own judgement, listen to your body, and adjust or skip sessions when you need to.
You are responsible for your own training
By using Aithlo, you understand and accept that:
- Every training decision you make is your own. Aithlo suggests — you choose whether to follow
- Endurance training carries inherent physical risk, including injury, overtraining, illness, and in rare cases serious or fatal cardiac events
- Aithlo is not responsible for any injury, illness, or harm that arises from your use of its training plans, workouts, chat responses, or any other feature
- You should stop using Aithlo and consult a medical professional if your health changes or if you are unsure whether continued use is safe
Not a medical device
Aithlo is not a medical device within the meaning of EU Regulation 2017/745 or the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002. It is a general-purpose training and fitness application. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring of any medical condition. The heart rate, power, and other measurements Aithlo displays are sourced from your own fitness devices and are intended for training purposes only — they must not be used for medical decisions.
Questions
If anything in this disclaimer is unclear, or if you are unsure whether Aithlo is appropriate for your situation, please email privacy@aithlo.com before you start training. For medical questions, speak to a doctor — not to us.
This disclaimer is part of our Terms of Service and should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
