My Heart Fitness Clinics Policy
The My Heart Fitness (MHF) program is designed for general wellness and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Participation in MHF does not establish a physician-patient relationship with MHF or its affiliated professionals. Individuals with medical concerns should consult their licensed healthcare provider. MHF does not manage emergencies. In the case of an urgent issue, participants must call 911 or visit their local emergency department.
MHF provides general wellness education and lifestyle coaching through content created by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. These professionals contribute in an educational capacity only and do not provide clinical care within the MHF program.
Participants may choose to seek additional services from these or other professionals independently of MHF. Any such clinical services are offered outside the scope of MHF and are not managed, endorsed, or reimbursed by the program.
Program participants may earn digital rewards and badges through engagement. Access is granted with an active membership and does not replace medical care. Reinstatement after termination is possible within 30 days at MHF's discretion.
Participation in
the My Heart Fitness (MHF) program may involve engagement in physical

activities carry inherent risks, including the risk of injury,
illness, or aggravation of existing conditions. By enrolling in the
program, participants acknowledge and accept that they are
voluntarily assuming all associated risks. Participants are strongly
encouraged to consult their healthcare provider before making any
significant lifestyle changes. MHF and its affiliates shall not be
held liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from
