Bellows Terms of Use

Bellows Fitness LLC · Effective October 26, 2026 · Last updated October 26, 2026 · Version 2026-10-26

These terms are an agreement between you and Bellows Fitness LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company ("Bellows," "we," "us"). They apply to your use of the Bellows iPhone app (including test versions through TestFlight), the Bellows Apple Watch app, the web app at app.bellowsfitness.com, the bellowsfitness.com website and the Bellows artificial intelligence (AI) connection, including any content, features and services offered on or through them (together, "Bellows").

By accessing or using Bellows in any way, including by downloading or installing the app, creating an account, signing in, or using the app, the website or any of its content or services, you confirm that you have read and understood these terms and the Bellows Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by them. Your agreement doesn't depend on pressing a button. In the app, the sign-in screen also says: "By continuing, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, including the health and safety statements: Bellows isn't medical advice, you're 18 or older, and you train at your own risk and release Bellows from claims for its ordinary negligence." We record which version you accepted, when, and on which platform. If you don't agree, please don't use Bellows.

This version takes effect on October 26, 2026. From that date it applies to new accounts and to accounts created before it. When we make a significant change, we'll ask you to accept the new version (section 11). Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under laws that can't be waived or changed by agreement.

Please read sections 1, 12 and 13 carefully. They include an assumption of risk, a release of claims and a limit on our liability.

1. Health and safety

Bellows and any AI you connect to it offer training information, not medical advice. Bellows is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose, treat, monitor or prevent any condition. Heart rate, recovery, training load, pace, distance and other figures are estimates and can be wrong. Bellows does not watch over you during exercise and cannot call for help.

These health and safety statements are part of these terms. By accessing or using Bellows (including by continuing past the sign-in screen), and again whenever we update them, you confirm each of them:

  1. Not medical advice. Bellows is not a medical device and does not give medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Plans, suggestions and numbers in Bellows, including anything from an AI I connect or from another person, are general fitness information. They may be wrong or unsuitable for me, and GPS and device data can be inaccurate.
  2. My health. I will consult a physician before starting or changing an exercise program. I confirm that either (a) I have no known heart condition, chest pain, fainting or dizziness, high blood pressure, bone or joint problem, pregnancy, or other condition that makes exercise unsafe for me, or (b) a physician has cleared me for the training I plan to do.
  3. I will stop if something is wrong. I will stop exercising immediately and get medical help if I feel chest pain, pressure or tightness, faintness, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, an irregular heartbeat or sharp pain. In an emergency I will call 911.
  4. I assume the risks. I understand that exercise, including weight training, running, cycling, hiking and endurance events, carries inherent risks of injury, illness, heart attack, stroke and death. Other risks come from traffic, terrain, weather, equipment and other people. I choose to train voluntarily and I assume all of these risks.
  5. Release. To the fullest extent the law allows, I release Bellows Fitness LLC and its members, employees and contractors from all claims for injury, illness, death or property damage arising from my exercise or my use of Bellows, including claims based on their negligence. I will not sue them over these claims.
  6. Age and terms. I am at least 18 years old and I agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

The release in statement 5 covers ordinary negligence. It does not cover gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct, or anything else the law doesn't allow to be released. We keep a record of which version you accepted and when.

You decide what training you take on, including plans from an AI or a training partner and weights someone else planned for you. Stay aware of traffic and your surroundings when using voice updates or the screen outdoors. Endurance events, including marathons and ultras, carry real risks; train within your limits.

2. Testing period

Bellows is in an early test, offered through Apple's TestFlight.

  1. It may have bugs, change, or stop working, and data could be lost. Please export anything important regularly (You → Import and Export).
  2. It's free during testing.
  3. Your workouts belong to you and stay in your account after the test unless you delete them.
  4. Please keep features marked as unreleased private. You're welcome to share your experience, but please don't post copies, recordings or details of unreleased features.
  5. We may end the test, or your access to it, at any time.

3. Your account

  1. You must be at least 18 and in the United States to use Bellows.
  2. Keep access to your sign-in email or Apple account secure. You're responsible for what happens under your account, including changes made by AI apps and tokens you approve.
  3. Each account is for one person.
  4. We'll send sign-in codes and important notices by email or in the app. You agree to receive them electronically.

4. Training partners and guests

  1. Partners. You can log workouts with up to three training partners who have allowed it from their own accounts, and plan weights for each other. What you log for a partner belongs to them. They can review, edit and accept it before it joins their history (review is on unless they turn it off), and they can withdraw your permission at any time. Partners choose what of their own history they share with you (nothing by default). Use what a partner shares only for training together; don't pass it on. Training partners you're linked with can see your name, photo, tagline and about-me.
  2. Guests. You can save a guest by name and record sets and planned weights for them in your own workouts. Only do this with the guest's OK. Guest entries are kept in your account and don't count in anyone's stats. If the guest later joins Bellows and links with you as a partner, they can claim their sets, which then move to their account.

5. Connecting an AI

  1. You choose whether to connect an AI app, and you approve each one by name. A connected AI acts on your behalf, and changes it makes are treated as made at your direction.
  2. Bellows tells a connected AI to list what it will change and wait for your go-ahead word, and depending on your settings, changes wait for your approval in the app. These help, but they aren't a guarantee: AI can make mistakes, so please check what it suggests and changes.
  3. Every AI change is labeled with the AI's name. Undo can't always restore everything; for example, if you have since edited the same item.
  4. AI apps are run by other companies under their own terms. We're not responsible for what an AI says or does, whether it's available, or how its company handles your data.
  5. Keep personal tokens and sign-in codes secret, as you would a password. Never paste them into a chat. If one is exposed, revoke it under You → AI Connection.
  6. We may limit how often an AI or token can make requests, or block one that misbehaves, to keep Bellows safe and running for everyone.

6. Your data

Your training data belongs to you. You give us permission to host, store, copy, process and display it only to provide Bellows to you and as described in the Privacy Policy. This includes a profile photo if you add one: use a photo of yourself or one you have the right to use, and nothing offensive, sexual or misleading. We may remove a photo that breaks these terms. When you import data (such as files exported from StrengthLog, Strong, Hevy, Garmin Connect or Strava), you confirm you have the right to do so. You can export your data at any time, and delete your account in the app (You → Delete Account).

7. Fair use

Please don't:

  1. access or try to access anyone else's account or data;
  2. probe, scan or test Bellows for weaknesses without our permission (if you find a security problem, please tell us at security@bellowsfitness.com);
  3. copy, reverse engineer, scrape or resell Bellows, except where the law allows;
  4. send automated requests beyond normal personal use;
  5. upload malicious code, or interfere with Bellows or the people using it;
  6. register an app or token under a misleading name, or pretend to be someone else;
  7. post anything unlawful, abusive or that you don't have the right to share;
  8. use Bellows for anything unlawful.

8. Bellows' property

The Bellows app, design, exercise library, name and flame logo belong to Bellows Fitness LLC. BELLOWS™ and the flame logo are trademarks of Bellows Fitness LLC. We give you a personal, non-transferable license, which we can revoke, to use Bellows under these terms. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them freely to improve Bellows, without owing you payment or credit.

Copyright complaints. If you believe something in Bellows infringes your copyright, email contact@bellowsfitness.com with what it is, where it appears, and your contact details.

9. Other services

Bellows works with services from other companies, including Apple Health, AI apps, and files exported from other apps. Those services are governed by their own terms. Bellows isn't affiliated with or endorsed by them. Product and brand names belong to their owners.

10. Apple

If you got Bellows through Apple (including TestFlight or the App Store):

  1. These terms are between you and Bellows, not Apple. Bellows, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
  2. Your license is to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as the App Store's usage rules allow.
  3. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
  4. If the app fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any purchase price you paid (Bellows is free during testing). Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  5. Bellows, not Apple, is responsible for handling any claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
  6. If anyone claims the app infringes their intellectual property, Bellows, not Apple, is responsible for dealing with that claim.
  7. You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo and are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  8. You must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your wireless carrier's.
  9. Questions, complaints or claims about the app go to Bellows at contact@bellowsfitness.com or the mailing address in section 16.
  10. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

11. Changes and ending

  1. We may change Bellows or these terms. If a change to the terms is significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and ask you to accept the new version. If you keep using Bellows after a change takes effect, you accept the new version. If you don't agree to a change, stop using Bellows and delete your account.
  2. You can stop using Bellows and delete your account at any time.
  3. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or to protect Bellows or other people. Where we can, we'll give you a chance to export your data first.
  4. Sections 1, 6 (permission ends when your data is deleted), 8 and 12 to 15 keep applying after your access ends.

12. Disclaimer

BELLOWS IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DON'T PROMISE THAT ANY PLAN, SUGGESTION, ESTIMATE OR AI OUTPUT IS SAFE OR SUITABLE FOR YOU.

13. Assumption of risk, release and limit of liability

YOU ASSUME THE RISKS OF EXERCISE AND RELEASE BELLOWS FITNESS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS FROM CLAIMS BASED ON THEIR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, AS SET OUT IN SECTION 1.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, BELLOWS FITNESS LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF BELLOWS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $50 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct, or any liability the law doesn't allow to be limited. Some states don't allow certain exclusions or limits, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against Bellows because you broke these terms or misused Bellows (for example, by logging data about someone without their OK), you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, to the extent the law allows.

15. Disputes

If you have a problem with Bellows, please email contact@bellowsfitness.com first; we'll try to resolve it informally within 30 days. These terms are governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, and you and we agree to those courts' jurisdiction. Either of us may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court (in Pennsylvania, the magisterial district court) instead.

16. General and contact

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and Bellows about Bellows. Where a law that can't be waived gives you more rights than these terms, that law wins, and only to that extent. If part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce something right away, we haven't given up the right to. You can't transfer these terms to someone else; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the business.
