Affiliate Disclosure & Fitness Disclaimer
Last updated: 21 July 2026
Affiliate disclosure
FirstRep is reader-supported. To keep the site free, we use affiliate links and display advertising. Here's exactly what that means:
- Affiliate links. Some links on this site, especially on the Gear page, are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay.
- Amazon Associates. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. FirstRep is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
- Other programs & advertising. We also take part in other affiliate programs and show ads from third-party networks (such as Google AdSense and others). These partners may use cookies as described in our Privacy Policy.
- Our promise. Commissions never buy a recommendation. We only suggest gear we'd be happy to point a beginner friend toward, and our opinions are our own.
Fitness & medical disclaimer
Read this before you start training.
The information on FirstRep is for general educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
- Talk to a doctor first. Consult a physician or qualified healthcare provider before beginning any exercise program, especially if you are pregnant, have an injury, or have any medical condition.
- You train at your own risk. Strength training carries inherent risks. By using the exercises, plans and information on this site, you accept full responsibility for your own safety and any outcomes.
- Not a substitute for professional advice. FirstRep is run by a fitness enthusiast, not a licensed doctor, physiotherapist or certified personal trainer (unless stated otherwise). Nothing here replaces personalised guidance from a qualified professional.
- Stop if it hurts. Discomfort from effort is normal; sharp or joint pain is not. Stop immediately and seek advice if something feels wrong.
- Results vary. Everyone's body, starting point and consistency differ. We make no guarantee of any specific fitness result.
- No liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, FirstRep and its owner accept no liability for any injury, loss or damage arising from the use of this site or its content.
By continuing to use FirstRep, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer.
