Terms of Service

The service

Athlete Made Easy is self-guided athletic training: training programs, athletic tests, a daily check-in, nutrition logging, and progress tracking — in an iOS app and on this website. The core product is free, and so is the weekly group call. Optional coaching (a real person reviewing your training and messaging with you in the app), sold as AME 1-on-1 Coaching, is a paid subscription, described in “Coaching subscription” below. We also run challenges: a set number of weeks with an AME coach, with calls, sold separately for one payment. Each challenge has terms of its own — today, the 8-Week Preseason Vertical Challenge Terms — and they sit on top of these.

Your account

You must be at least 13. The app asks for your birthday before anything else, and an account for someone under 13 cannot be used.

Under 18, you can still sign up. If you are 13 to 17, you may use Athlete Made Easy on your own. A parent or guardian isn't needed to sign up, and nobody is asked to sign anything for you. The terms you accept when you make the account — including the training-risk section below — are the same as everyone's. A parent or guardian can link to your account at any time; the next paragraph says what they see.

A parent can link to the account, any time. It is optional and it can happen long after the athlete signed up. There is nothing to sign: one side asks, and the other confirms. A linked parent can see the athlete's training the way a team coach does, read and post in the athlete's one-to-one chats with an AME coach or a team coach, and read the chat of any team the athlete is on.

Keep it accurate. Programs and targets are built from your profile — give real information and keep it current.

One account per person, and it's yours. Don't share credentials or use someone else's account. You're responsible for what happens under yours — keep your password safe.

Teams

A team coach can hold a roster. If you join a team, its team coach sees your training — program, sessions, bests, tests and whether you trained, body tests and measured weight included — and has a one-to-one chat with you of their own. They cannot read or post in your chat with us. They do not see your food, your day-to-day weigh-ins or your daily check-ins. Your name, photo, goal and sport background are visible to the team coach, to the other members, and to a parent linked to any member.

The team chat is a shared space. Everyone on the team can read it, and so can a parent linked to any member. Treat it like a locker room with adults in it: no harassment, no abuse, nothing you would not say in front of the team coach. We can remove a message, a member or a team. You can leave a team at any time, and leaving ends the team coach's access.

The training still comes from us. A team coach cannot write or edit programs. They can assign one of ours to their team.

Training risk — read this one

You accept these terms when you create your account, and this section is part of them. It is the part that matters most, so it is set out in full rather than pointed at:

Voluntary participation. You choose to train. Every program, workout, assessment and exercise in Athlete Made Easy is something you take on voluntarily — nothing here is required of you.

Training carries risk. Physical training carries an inherent risk of injury — muscle strains, sprains, overuse injuries and, in rare cases, more serious harm. No program design removes that risk entirely. By using the service, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

Train within your limits. You are responsible for training within your own limits — choosing loads, intensities and progressions that are right for you, warming up properly, and using safe equipment and space.

Stop if something hurts. Sharp or unusual pain, dizziness, faintness or shortness of breath means stop immediately. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention before training again.

Self-guided by design. Athlete Made Easy provides self-guided programming, not supervision. No one is watching your reps in real time — coaching, where added, is remote and advisory. Your safety during a session is in your hands.

Not medical advice

Athlete Made Easy provides training and educational content, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Nothing in the app — programs, daily check-ins, nutrition targets, messages from an AME coach or a team coach — replaces a doctor. Consult a physician before starting, especially if you have a pre-existing condition (heart condition, chest pain, dizziness, joint or bone problems, pregnancy, or prescribed medication that affects exertion).

Acceptable use

Use the service as an athlete, a parent or a team coach, lawfully. Don't: abuse, harass, or send unlawful content to anyone through any chat in the app; scrape the platform or harvest its content or data; resell, sublicense, or share access; probe, overload, or work around security and access controls; or impersonate anyone. We build training content with care — copying the program library to republish it isn't fair game.

Your content

Your logs are yours. Workouts, test results, videos, photos, nutrition entries, messages — everything you put in stays your content.

You give us a working license, nothing more. So the service can function, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, and display your content — to you, to Connor and Athlete Made Easy's coaches, and to the people the app shows it to (a team coach and the team's members, their linked parents, and your linked parent) — for the purpose of running and improving the service. That license ends when you delete the content or your account — except for training data we keep in anonymized form (no longer identifying you) to improve the service, content held briefly for the review and cleanup windows described in the Privacy Policy, and anything you posted in someone else's chat (a team chat, or an athlete's one-to-one chat as their parent or their team coach), which stays in that chat. We never sell your content or use it for advertising.

Upload only what's yours. You're responsible for having the rights to anything you upload, and for what your uploads contain.

Coaching subscription

What it is. Coaching is sold as AME 1-on-1 Coaching. “1-on-1” means your own AME coach, who knows you and answers you, by message and video, in the app. There are no one-on-one calls. The weekly group call is free for everyone and is not part of the subscription. A free consultation call before you subscribe is not part of it either: it is there to help you decide.

The price. Two plans, in US dollars: $50 a month, billed every month, or $500 a year, billed once a year (two months free compared with paying monthly). Either plan renews at the end of each period until you stop it. You see the plan and the price before you pay.

The free trial. The first time you subscribe, the first 14 days are free, on either plan. It is once per person, ever: if you have had AME 1-on-1 Coaching before, paid or on a trial, your subscription is billed from the start. You give us your card when you start the trial, and we charge it for your plan when the 14 days end, unless you stop before then. Stop before the 14 days end and you pay nothing. You can stop it any time from athletemadeeasy.com/account (Manage billing). Free time we give you — a free month from us, months bought with referral credit, a challenge's free months — is not the trial and does not use it up; if you subscribe while you have some, billing starts when it ends, and the trial is not added on top. A parent paying for a kid starts the kid's trial, and it counts as the kid's. The 24-hour guarantee's free month starts with your first payment: during the free days your coach still answers within 24 hours, but a late answer does not earn a free month. Referral credit starts with your first payment too: nobody earns credit from a free trial.

What's included. Coaching is a personal service — a coach's time and attention, in the app:

• Messages. Ask anything. Your coach answers within 24 hours, every day.
• Video reviews. Film a set, a jump or a test and send it, as often as you like. Your coach watches it and tells you what they see.
• Weekly progress check. Every week your coach looks at everything you logged. They make sure you're on track.
• Program changes. Busy week, sore knee, new gym? Your coach changes your program to fit.
• If something hurts. It goes to your coach, who adjusts your training.

Video reviews have no weekly limit. AME coaches are not doctors, physical therapists or other medical providers: when something hurts, your coach adjusts your training and may tell you to see one, and the “Not medical advice” section above still applies.

The 24-hour guarantee. Answered within 24 hours, every day, or your next month is free. Here is exactly how that works. The 24 hours are counted every day, weekends and holidays included: a message is due 24 hours after you send it, so one sent at 6:00 p.m. on a Friday is due by 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, and one sent on a Sunday morning is due by Monday morning. It covers the messages you send your coach in the app while you are paying for coaching. If one is not answered in time, the free month is applied on its own — you do not have to ask: on the monthly plan, one month's price is credited to your account and comes off your next bill; on the yearly plan, your next renewal moves back one month. Every message answered late earns its own free month: two late answers are two free months, used one after the other. Messages that are waiting together count once, until your coach answers. The free month is not paid out in cash.

Billed on the web, not in the app. You subscribe on this website, and payment is handled by Stripe — not through the App Store, and not in the iOS app. We never see or store your full card number.

Stop any time. Cancel from athletemadeeasy.com/account (Manage billing). Coaching keeps running to the end of the month or year you paid for, and then it ends. Stopping never touches the app, your programs or anything you logged.

If a payment fails. If a payment fails, you keep AME 1-on-1 Coaching for 7 days while you fix it. After that it ends and your account goes back to free. To fix it, use the “Fix payment” link we email you, or go to athletemadeeasy.com/account: it pays the bill that failed, with a new card if you need one. Until then Stripe may try the card again. If it isn't fixed in time, the subscription is cancelled, the unpaid bill is cancelled with it and never charged, and you can subscribe again any time. While a payment is unpaid, the 24-hour guarantee's free month does not apply. Going back to free never touches the app, your programs or anything you logged.

No refunds. Payments are not refunded, including for the unused part of a month or a year. If something has gone wrong, email support@athletemadeeasy.com and tell us; any refund is at our discretion. Nothing in this paragraph takes away a refund the law requires. A challenge is not AME 1-on-1 Coaching: its refunds are as set out in its own terms — for the 8-Week Preseason Vertical Challenge, the 8-Week Preseason Vertical Challenge Terms. Free months of AME 1-on-1 Coaching that a challenge earns do not renew on their own; we ask before anything is charged.

Any age, and a parent can pay. Anyone with an account may subscribe, including athletes under 18. A parent or guardian linked to an athlete's account may pay for the athlete's coaching from their own account on this website; the coaching is the athlete's, and the parent's own coaching, if they want it, is a separate subscription. Whoever enters the card is the one agreeing to pay. If the link between the parent and the athlete is removed, by either of them or by us, the athlete's coaching runs to the end of what was paid for and then stops; nothing renews, and the parent is emailed.

Price changes. We email account holders before a price changes, and before anything new costs money. You can stop before a change takes effect.

Buying coaching adds these terms to the rest of this page — it doesn't replace them. As with the rest of the app, we can't guarantee any particular training result. A challenge's guarantee is a refund or free months, set out in its own terms, never a promise of a result.

Ending things

You can leave any time. Delete your account in the app (Settings → Delete account) or on the web at athletemadeeasy.com/account. Your access closes immediately and your account is hidden. You can restore within 30 days by emailing us; after that we remove your personal details, keep your training data only in anonymized form, and hold your one-to-one chat messages (with an AME coach or a team coach) for a limited review window before deleting them — all as described in the Privacy Policy. Anything you posted in a team chat stays in that team chat after your account is deleted.

What happens to coaching you pay for. Deleting your account ends your own AME 1-on-1 Coaching that day, with no refund for the rest of the month or year, and restoring the account does not bring it back. If you pay for a kid's coaching, theirs is not cut off: it runs to the end of what you paid for, then stops, and nothing renews. To stop paying without deleting anything, cancel instead from Manage billing on athletemadeeasy.com/account; it runs to the end of what you paid for.

We can close accounts that break the rules. If an account violates these terms, harms other athletes, or abuses the platform, we may suspend or terminate it — with notice where that's reasonable. Sections that by their nature should survive (training risk, disclaimers, limits on liability, governing law) survive termination.

Disclaimers and limits on liability

The service is provided "as is." We work hard to keep it accurate, available, and useful, but to the extent the law allows, we don't make warranties — and we can't guarantee results. Training outcomes depend on you. The 8-Week Preseason Vertical Challenge's guarantee is not a promise of a result either: it is four free months or your money back, on the rules in the 8-Week Preseason Vertical Challenge Terms.

Our liability is capped. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim; and we aren't liable for indirect or consequential damages.

What this doesn't do. Nothing here limits liability that can't legally be limited (like liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct), and nothing here takes away consumer protections your local law gives you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and disputes belong in the state or federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida — except where the consumer-protection law of your home jurisdiction says otherwise and can't be waived.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version is posted here with a new effective date — and for material changes we'll email account holders before they take effect. Using the service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms; if you don't, delete your account.
