The spirit
LiftMax is built around real work, real numbers, real people. Compete hard. Respect harder. The gym is the one place where your results speak for themselves — keep it that way here too.
These guidelines exist to keep the community safe, motivating, and honest for everyone — regardless of fitness level, background, or goals.
Zero tolerance
The following result in immediate permanent ban and reporting to relevant authorities — no warnings, no appeals:
Respect
- Treat every member with respect — harassment, bullying, and insults are not tolerated
- Respect different fitness levels, body types, goals, and training philosophies
- Offer constructive feedback — criticism should lift people up, not tear them down
- Competing hard on leaderboards is encouraged; targeting someone personally is not
Prohibited content
The following content will be removed and may result in account action:
- Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, or any form of discrimination
- Sexual or explicit content of any kind
- Content promoting violence, threats, or self-harm
- Content promoting dangerous substance use (illicit drugs, unregulated substances)
- Spam, unsolicited advertising, or commercial solicitation
- Misleading, false, or dangerous health and fitness claims
- Impersonating athletes, celebrities, brands, or other users
Profiles
- Your profile photo must not contain explicit, violent, or offensive imagery
- You may not use another person's photo as your profile picture without their consent
- Profile names and bios must not impersonate others or contain prohibited content
- Custom profile colors and themes must not be used to create offensive imagery
Sharing workouts
- Share your own original workout data and achievements — not fabricated records
- Do not claim personal records or lifts that are not genuinely yours
- Be mindful of your influence when sharing advice about nutrition, supplementation, or training methods
- Label personal opinions as opinions — not as professional medical or nutritional advice
Reporting
- Use the in-app Report button on any content or profile that violates these guidelines
- All reports are reviewed by our team and acted upon promptly
- Reports are confidential — the reported user will not be notified who filed the report
- Abusing the report system to target users in bad faith is itself a violation
Enforcement
- First violation — Warning and/or content removal
- Repeated violations — Temporary account suspension (duration varies by severity)
- Severe violations — Permanent account termination without refund of any remaining subscription
- Illegal content — Immediate termination and reporting to relevant authorities
We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a violation and to take appropriate action, including actions not listed above, at our sole discretion.
