Coaching Services Agreement (Terms)

Last updated: September 13, 2026

This Coaching Services Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Client") and 27:17 Fitness LLC dba Sharpened Fitness Nutrition and Wellness ("we," "us," "Coach") and governs the coaching services you purchase from us.

What coaching is — and is not. Our coaching is educational fitness, nutrition, and wellness guidance provided by a non-clinician coach. It is not medical care, physical therapy, psychotherapy, or the practice of medicine or clinical dietetics, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. We do not prescribe, select, source, dose, or administer any drug, supplement, hormone, or controlled/performance-enhancing substance. Consult a licensed physician before starting or changing any training, nutrition, or supplement program, especially if you have any medical condition, injury, are pregnant, or take medication.

Scope of practice; not a dietitian. Coach is a certified fitness and sports-nutrition professional and is not a Registered Dietitian, licensed dietitian/nutritionist, physician, or other licensed healthcare provider. Nutrition guidance is general, educational information for generally healthy adults to support fitness, physique, and performance goals — it is not medical nutrition therapy, nutrition assessment or diagnosis, or the diagnosis, treatment, cure, or management of any disease, disorder, or medical condition (including diabetes, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or eating-disorder conditions). Coach does not interpret laboratory results to diagnose or treat any condition, and nothing in our name or materials represents that Coach holds any state nutrition/dietetics license. If you have or suspect a medical condition, take prescription medication, are pregnant or nursing, or need a therapeutic or medically supervised diet, you must consult and follow a physician or licensed dietitian, and Coach will refer you accordingly.

Eating-disorder safety. Aggressive dieting and contest preparation can trigger or worsen disordered eating. Coach is not qualified to diagnose or treat eating disorders; if you have a history of, or develop signs of, an eating disorder, coaching will pause and you will be referred to a licensed medical and mental-health provider. If you are struggling, contact the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline (1-866-662-1235) or, in the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).

1. Eligibility. You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract. Coaching is for healthy adults; if a health condition makes exercise or dietary change risky, obtain physician clearance first.
2. Services. We provide the specific services in your selected package or written proposal (e.g., program design, nutrition targets, check-in reviews, posing, communication). The scope, term, deliverables, communication channels, and expected response times are those stated at purchase or in your proposal, which is incorporated into this Agreement. Anything not listed is not included.
3. Client responsibilities. You agree to give accurate, complete health information, disclose relevant conditions/injuries/medications, follow reasonable safety guidance, and make your own informed decisions. You are solely responsible for your health choices and for deciding whether to act on any guidance.
4. Assumption of risk. Exercise, dietary change, posing, and contest preparation carry inherent risks, including serious injury. You voluntarily assume all such risks and participate at your own risk. A separate Assumption-of-Risk & Release is required — you will sign it at coaching onboarding.
5. No guaranteed results. Individual results vary and depend on genetics, adherence, health, and factors outside our control. We do not guarantee any specific outcome, placing, weight, body-composition, or stage result.
6. Natural & enhanced content. Any discussion of enhanced-athlete topics is educational harm-reduction information only and is not instruction to obtain, dose, time, or administer any substance. You are solely responsible for compliance with all laws and any sport anti-doping rules (e.g., WADA/USADA). We will not coach or facilitate illegal activity.
7. Scheduling, sessions & communication. Session booking, rescheduling, and no-show rules, and the response-time expectations for messages/check-ins, are set out in the Refund & Cancellation Policy and your package. Coaching is not an emergency or on-call service.
8. Fees & payment. Fees and any installment schedule are as stated at purchase. We do not charge a separate deposit or consultation fee. Installment or recurring coaching payments continue until the term ends or you cancel per the Refund & Cancellation Policy. Chargebacks made in bad faith are a breach of this Agreement.
9. Intellectual property. Programs, plans, templates, and materials we create remain our intellectual property. You receive a personal, non-transferable license to use them for your own training. You may not resell, publish, or share them, or use them to coach others.
10. Confidentiality. We keep your personal and health information confidential and use it only to provide coaching, as described in the Coaching Privacy Notice. You agree to keep our non-public coaching materials and methods confidential.
11. Photos & likeness. Physique photos and measurements you share are used only to coach you. We will not use your photos, name, or testimonial for marketing unless you give separate written consent (a distinct opt-in, revocable going forward).
12. Release & limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your participation, and our total liability for any claim will not exceed the fees you paid us for the coaching services in the prior 12 months. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for personal injury, to the extent the law allows. This does not limit liability that cannot be waived by law, including gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from third-party claims arising from your decisions, your acts or omissions, or your breach of this Agreement.
14. Termination. Either party may end coaching per the Refund & Cancellation Policy. We may suspend or terminate immediately for abusive conduct, non-payment, or requests to facilitate illegal activity. Sections that by nature survive (IP, release, indemnity, confidentiality, dispute resolution) survive termination.
15. Independent contractor. We provide services as an independent business; nothing here creates employment, partnership, agency, or a fiduciary relationship.
16. Governing law; dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class-action waiver. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada (Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration terms). Disputes are resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards and applicable rules, with a 60-day informal-resolution period first, a class-action waiver, small-claims and IP-injunction carve-outs, a $250 consumer fee cap (we pay the rest of the JAMS/arbitrator fees), and a 30-day opt-out — the same terms as the binding-arbitration and class-action-waiver section of our Terms of Service for The Complete Bodybuilder, which are incorporated here by reference. For any claim not subject to arbitration, venue is Clark County, Nevada.
17. Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control (illness, injury, natural disaster, outages, etc.); we will make up or credit affected sessions where practical.
18. Entire agreement; changes. This Agreement plus your package/proposal and the signed release are the entire agreement. We may update these terms prospectively; the version in effect when you purchase governs that purchase.

Client acknowledgment. By purchasing coaching or signing below, you confirm you are 18+, have read and understood this Agreement, and agree to it voluntarily.
