health disclaimer

You're responsible for your own health

amb plans and tracks training. It doesn't know your medical history, and it can't tell you whether a given workout is safe for your body on a given day. That judgment call is always yours — talk to a doctor before starting a new training program, especially if you have an existing health condition, are returning from injury or illness, or are pregnant.

Training carries real risk

Endurance training, by its nature, carries a risk of injury, overtraining, and — rarely but seriously — cardiac events. A structured workout amb hands you is a suggestion based on the numbers you've given it (thresholds, zones, goals), not a guarantee that it's appropriate for you today. Stop if something feels wrong, and don't override how you actually feel because an app says otherwise. Training outdoors also carries risks from traffic, weather and terrain; follow the rules of the road and the conditions. amb is for people aged 16 and over.

Your data is only as good as what you enter

Heart-rate zones, pace/power thresholds, and FTP are self-entered or estimated from your own workout history — not from a lab test or a medical device calibration. Fitness/fatigue/form and every other number amb shows you follows directly from that input. Garbage in, garbage out applies here like anywhere else; recheck your thresholds periodically rather than trusting a number you entered once, months ago.

The same goes for data that comes from your devices and from Apple Health, Suunto, Wahoo and other platforms. Heart-rate, power and other sensor values can be wrong (optical sensors, dropouts, wrong settings), and amb does not check them. Labels such as "building" or "overreaching" are rough indicators worked out from your heart-rate data, not a judgment about your health or a diagnosis.

Not a coach, not a medical device

amb itself — the app that shows your plan and your training load — is a planning and tracking tool, not a certified coach and not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or monitor any medical condition, and nothing amb shows you should be read as personalized medical or coaching advice. The sessions in your plan are planned by you, by your coach, or by an AI assistant you connect, not decided by amb.

If you connect with a real coach through amb.coaching, their guidance is their own professional judgment, not amb's — see our terms for how that relationship works. Either way, amb's plan (or your coach's) is a starting point for a conversation with a physician about your own health, not a substitute for one.

AI assistants

If you or your coach connect an AI assistant to amb, what it says and what it plans is the assistant's output, not amb's advice. It can be wrong, and it can change your planned workouts, so check what it did. It is no substitute for a coach, a doctor or your own judgment. The terms say more about connecting one.

A workout built from a description ("What are you up to?") is a suggestion. amb shows the steps before anything is added; check them, and change what doesn't fit. The same goes for hints amb gives before or after a session: they are worked out from your own data and can miss what only you know.

In an emergency

If you feel chest pain, severe breathlessness, dizziness or you faint, stop and get medical help. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Do not wait for an app.

Use good judgment

If a workout, a zone, or anything else amb shows you doesn't match how your body actually feels, trust your body. You're always free to skip, modify, or stop a session — amb will still be there tomorrow.
