Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Strena website, application, and related services, including strena.fit and all localized versions, content, software, and functionality (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Strena Software (“Strena,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing, browsing, creating an account for, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.

1. The Service

Strena is a web-based software service for strength training and powerlifting, provided free of charge. The Service provides training programming, including suggested loads, sets, reps, session progression, and training mode changes, based on user inputs and logged training outcomes.

The Service is software only. The Service is not medical care, healthcare, physical therapy, rehabilitation, coaching, supervision, emergency support, or any other professional service. Strena does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation advice, injury prevention advice, injury assessment, or any other professional advice.

The Service may generate workout recommendations and related outputs using deterministic programming logic and user-provided information. Strena does not guarantee that any recommendation, output, progression, load, set, rep scheme, or training mode is correct, suitable, safe, effective, complete, or appropriate for you.

2. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if:

• you are at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher;
• you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement; and
• your use of the Service is not prohibited by applicable law.

The Service is intended for individual consumers. It is not intended for children.

3. Account Registration and Security

To use certain features of the Service, you must create an account. Authentication and account access may be provided through third-party identity providers, including Clerk, and may involve email sign-in, passwordless login, or OAuth providers.

You agree to:

• provide accurate, complete, and current registration information;
• keep your credentials secure and confidential;
• maintain the accuracy of your account information;
• accept full responsibility for all activity under your account; and
• notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access or any security incident involving your account.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account at any time if we believe your account is insecure, your information is inaccurate, your use presents legal, operational, or security risk, or you have violated these Terms.

4. User Inputs and Service Outputs

The Service may ask you to provide or confirm information such as:

• working weights for squat, bench press, and deadlift;
• weight unit preferences;
• minimum plate size preferences;
• workout completion information;
• RPE and other subjective training feedback;
• form breakdown and bar speed indicators;
• lower-back-related and recovery-related flags;
• equipment availability; and
• exercise preferences.

The Service generates recommendations based on the information you provide and the internal programming logic of the Service.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• all recommendations depend on the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of your inputs;
• the Service does not independently verify your inputs or physical condition;
• the Service may generate outputs that are wrong, unsuitable, unsafe, ineffective, stale, incomplete, or inappropriate;
• you are solely responsible for reviewing every recommendation before acting on it; and
• you are solely responsible for deciding whether to perform any lift, exercise, set, rep scheme, session, or progression.

5. Health, Safety, and No Medical Advice

IMPORTANT: USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The Service is not a medical service, healthcare service, medical device, physical therapy service, rehabilitation service, coaching service, personal training service, or emergency service. Strena does not provide medical advice, medical opinions, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation guidance, injury prevention advice, injury assessment, or any professional health-related advice of any kind.

Nothing in the Service is intended to be, and must not be understood as, medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, medical clearance, or a representation that any exercise, lift, load, set, rep scheme, training mode, or recommendation is safe or appropriate for you.

Strength training, resistance training, and powerlifting involve inherent and significant risks, including pain, soreness, strain, fatigue, overtraining, illness, dizziness, aggravation of existing conditions, musculoskeletal injury, tendon injury, nerve injury, joint injury, spinal injury, permanent disability, and death.

You are solely responsible for determining whether you are physically, medically, and mentally able to train, whether your environment and equipment are safe, whether you have appropriate supervision or spotting, and whether any recommendation generated by the Service is suitable for you.

Before starting or continuing any training program, and before relying on any recommendation generated by the Service, you should consult a qualified physician or other appropriate licensed medical professional, especially if you have any injury, pain, chronic condition, back issue, cardiovascular issue, neurological symptom, reduced mobility, prior surgery, illness, pregnancy, postpartum condition, or any reason to question whether exercise is safe for you.

If you experience or feel any pain, discomfort, weakness, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, chest pain, back pain, numbness, tingling, loss of coordination, unusual fatigue, form breakdown, illness, or any other symptom, sensation, or condition that could indicate risk or harm, stop immediately and consult a qualified physician or other licensed medical professional.

If you are unsure whether to perform a recommended lift or exercise, do not perform it unless and until you are satisfied it is safe for you.

Strena does not monitor your form, movement quality, recovery status, technique, supervision, spotting arrangements, medical condition, readiness, or actual execution. No output of the Service should ever be treated as a substitute for medical judgment, professional coaching judgment, or your own responsibility and judgment.

By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that you voluntarily assume all risks associated with exercise, lifting, training, and reliance on the Service, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6. Assumption of Risk and Sole Responsibility

You acknowledge and agree that:

• you use the Service voluntarily and entirely at your own risk;
• you are solely responsible for your body, health, safety, technique, equipment, supervision, spotting, training environment, and all training decisions;
• you are solely responsible for deciding whether to begin, continue, modify, pause, or stop any exercise or training session;
• Strena cannot verify whether you are injured, ill, fatigued, medically cleared, properly equipped, or adequately supervised;
• any recommendation generated by the Service may be inappropriate, unsafe, ineffective, or based on inaccurate assumptions or inputs; and
• you assume full responsibility for all consequences arising from your use of, misuse of, reliance on, or refusal to follow the Service.

7. No Professional Relationship

Your use of the Service does not create any physician-patient relationship, therapist-patient relationship, coach-client relationship, trainer-client relationship, fiduciary relationship, employment relationship, agency relationship, partnership, or joint venture between you and Strena.

8. User Responsibilities

You agree that you will:
