Disclaimer

 Last updated: 4-July-2026

 

 

Educational and informational purposes only

The content and services provided by cliveburns.com ("cliveburns.com", "we", "us", "our") — including self-guided courses, videos, PDFs, downloadable guides, calculators, emails, community areas, and 1:1 in-person coaching, 1:1 online coaching, and group online coaching sessions (together, the "Content") — are provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

The Content reflects the personal experience, training and opinions of Clive Burns. It is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your individual medical, physical or psychological circumstances.

Not medical advice

cliveburns.com is not a medical provider. Clive Burns is a certified Health Coach, Nutrition Coach (Precision Nutrition) and Primal Health Coach, holding international YMCA Fit certifications not yet recognised via RPL as an Australian Cert III/IV. Clive Burns is not a doctor, dietitian, exercise physiologist, psychologist or personal trainer, and nothing in the Content is intended as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Specifically, the Content does not:

• Diagnose, treat or provide meal plans for eating disorders or any other medical or psychological condition
• Prescribe specific calorie, macronutrient or nutrient targets intended to treat a diagnosed medical condition
• Provide individualised exercise prescriptions or supervised personal training

Before you begin any new dietary or physical routine, or make any change related to your health, you should consult a qualified physician or appropriate healthcare professional — particularly if you are over 40, are pregnant or nursing, are taking medication, or have (or suspect you may have) any medical condition, including but not limited to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, joint or musculoskeletal problems, disordered eating, or any injury or illness.

If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptom during any activity referenced in the Content, or during a coaching session, stop immediately and seek medical attention. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call your local emergency services.

Movement, form and exercise content

Where the Content includes movement demonstrations, technique videos, or discussion of exercise as part of habit or lifestyle coaching, this is provided as general education on movement mechanics — not as an individualised exercise program, and not as personal training. In live 1:1 or group sessions, Clive Burns may demonstrate or discuss general movement patterns, but does not provide live correction of your individual form as a clinical or therapeutic service, and does not design or supervise structured exercise programs tailored to you. This is because Australian Cert IV Personal Training qualifications, required to provide that service, are not currently held. You are responsible for exercising within your own limits and using safe technique, and should seek a qualified, appropriately certified professional for individualised exercise programming or supervised training.

Nature of the coaching relationship

Self-guided courses and digital content. Purchasing or accessing a self-guided course, video, or downloadable resource does not create a coaching, medical, legal, financial or other professional relationship between you and Clive Burns or cliveburns.com. You are engaging with pre-recorded, general-audience material.

1:1 and group coaching sessions. Where you have booked 1:1 in-person coaching, 1:1 online coaching, or group online coaching, a genuine coaching relationship does exist between you and Clive Burns for the purpose of habit-based health coaching. This relationship is limited to the scope described in this Disclaimer and in your session agreement — it is not a medical, clinical, dietetic, psychological, or personal training relationship, and none of those relationships are created by booking or attending a session. 1:1 in-person sessions may also require a separate signed waiver and intake form before your first session.

Assumption of risk

Physical activity and dietary change carry inherent risks, including the risk of injury or, in rare cases, serious harm. This applies equally to self-guided Content and to 1:1/group coaching sessions, including in-person sessions. By using the Content or attending a session, you acknowledge and accept that you do so voluntarily and at your own risk. You are solely responsible for assessing your own fitness to undertake any activity described or discussed, for exercising within your own limits, and for using safe technique.

Results are not guaranteed

The transformations, statistics, before-and-after photographs, body-fat figures, timelines and other results described in the Content — including Clive Burns's own documented 2012 transformation — are presented as real, recorded examples of what was achieved by a specific individual under specific conditions.

They are illustrative, not typical, and they are not a promise or guarantee of the results you will achieve.Outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including your starting point, age, genetics, health, effort, consistency, environment and adherence. You may achieve more, less, or different results, or no results at all. Nothing in the Content should be taken as a guarantee that you will lose a particular amount of weight or body fat, reach a particular fitness level, or achieve any specific outcome.

Calculators and estimates

Any calculators or tools provided (for example, the Healthy Weight Planner and the Body Fat & Composition Planner) produce estimates based on general formulas and the information you enter. They are starting points for planning, not precise prescriptions or medical assessments, and should not be relied upon as such.

External links and third-party content

The Content may reference or link to third-party websites, products or services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, and a link or mention is not an endorsement.

Your consumer rights

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where our liability can be limited, it is limited to the fullest extent the law allows.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for your own decisions and actions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, cliveburns.com and Clive Burns accept no liability for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Content, except as set out above. (See the Limitation of Liability section of our [Terms of Service] for the full statement.)
