Disclaimer

‘Grounds’ does not provide personal training in person, or individually tailored exercise, fitness, or nutrition advice.

If a free trial or other promotion is available at the time of purchase, your app access will commence when the promotion or free trial concludes. App access will not be extended unless proof of an emergency medical condition is provided. Grounds' Programs do not account for any medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any other specific health or medical issues. If you have, or are potentially at risk of, any health condition or medical issue, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, we highly advise you to consult your healthcare provider before participating in any Program.
