Help & safety

Bodywise Coach is a virtual coach for adults aged 18 and over who want to get stronger, eat better and build habits that last.

Urgent symptoms come first

Stop straight away and seek urgent medical help if you have chest pain or pressure, severe breathlessness, fainting or dizziness that does not pass, sudden severe pain, numbness or weakness down one side, or any symptom that frightens you. Do not wait for the app, and do not train through it.

What the coach does

Builds a resistance-training plan and nutrition targets from your own answers, using fixed calculations and published evidence.
Adjusts them gradually, and never makes more than one meaningful change a week, so you can tell what worked.
Explains every decision: what changed, what it was based on, and why.
Tells you when it is unsure, and asks a focused question instead of guessing.

What it will never do

Diagnose, treat or cure any condition, injury or eating disorder.
Replace your doctor, physiotherapist or dietitian.
Invent a rule, formula or threshold, or hide a change from you.
Push you to train through pain, or to eat below safe minimums.

Speak to a health professional first if

You are pregnant or recently gave birth.
You are recovering from surgery, an injury or an illness.
You take medication, or live with a heart, lung, metabolic or joint condition.
You have a history of disordered eating.

Training safely

Warm up, and start lighter than you think you need to.
Leave a repetition or two in reserve while you are learning a movement.
Stop a set if your technique breaks down, and log what happened.
Tell the coach about pain in a note or check-in. The system reads what you write and responds, including holding a plan change back when something needs care.

Accessibility

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA: large touch targets, visible focus, text alternatives, reduced-motion support, and meaning never carried by colour alone. If something is hard to use with your assistive technology, tell us at support@bodywisecoach.app and we will help.
