Nova provides fitness coaching and educational training content. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and is not a substitute for care from a physician, physiotherapist, registered dietitian or other qualified health professional.

Consult a professional first

Consult a qualified health professional before starting any exercise program, particularly if you are pregnant, have a medical condition, injury, take medication, or have not exercised recently. Tools such as the Get Active Questionnaire / PAR-Q+ can help identify when to seek advice.

Assumption of risk

Physical activity carries inherent risk of injury. You are responsible for exercising within your abilities, using appropriate equipment and technique, and stopping immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or discomfort. Seek medical attention if needed.

No guaranteed results

Individual results vary. We make no guarantee of any specific outcome, including strength, physique, weight or performance changes.

Information you share

If you voluntarily share limitations with your coach, they may adapt exercise selection within the scope of fitness coaching only. Coaches do not assess, diagnose or treat medical conditions.
