Community Guidelines

Age

You must be at least 18 years old to join Workout With Me. Creating a profile that intentionally misrepresents you as being under 18 is not allowed. We reserve the right to verify your age, and we'll remove you from the platform if you're underage.

Profile Photos

We want your profile to celebrate your authentic self! That's why we require at least one profile photo that depicts only you and clearly shows your full face. We do not permit:

• Photos heavily distorted or with exaggerated digital effects where you cannot be clearly identified
• Memes or photos with only — or primarily — text
• Photos of children on their own
• Photos with unclothed children

Username and Display Name

Members may use initials, abbreviations, nicknames, full names, or middle names. You don't have to use your legal name, but your username should authentically represent the name you use in everyday life. We do not permit:

• Words or phrases that violate our Community Guidelines
• Celebrity or fictional character names
• Descriptive words, excessive symbols (e.g. $, *, @), emojis, numbers, or punctuation unrelated to your name
• Social media or messaging platform handles

Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity

Workout With Me is a community for training, fitness, and friendship. We don't permit nude, sexually explicit, or sexually suggestive profile content. We also don't allow solicitation or commercial exchange of any sexual services or content.

Bullying and Abusive Conduct

Our community is for creating kind connections through fitness. We don't allow content or behavior that harasses, bullies, or targets any individual or group. This includes belittling, insulting, or intimidating behavior; unsolicited negative comments about someone's appearance, fitness level, or training ability; emotional abuse; blackmail; repeated unwanted contact; or encouraging acts of violence.

Child Safety

We have zero tolerance for any form of child endangerment or exploitation. We don't allow content that sexualizes or endangers children, real or fictional. For the purposes of this policy, a child is anyone under 18. Any content or behavior that puts children at risk will result in immediate removal from the platform and reporting to authorities.

Commercial and Promotional Activity

Workout With Me is not a marketplace. We don't allow using the platform for unsolicited commercial or promotional purposes, except for legitimate training tour guides or fitness professionals who clearly identify themselves as such and comply with our commercial use policies.

Controlled Goods and Substances

Members may not use our platform to buy, sell, supply, distribute, or promote illegal drugs, controlled substances, or their paraphernalia. This includes marijuana (where illegal), prescription drug misuse, or promotion of excessive alcohol or tobacco use during workouts.

Terrorism and Violent Extremism

We don't allow content or behavior that promotes, incites, glorifies, or supports terrorist or violent extremist groups, individuals, or their activities.

Identity-Based Hate

We aim to foster a diverse and inclusive training community. We prohibit content or behavior that promotes hate, dehumanization, degradation, or contempt against any group based on: race/ethnicity, national origin, caste, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability or health condition, body size or fitness level, or religion/belief.

Inauthentic Profiles

Workout With Me celebrates authenticity. We expect all members to represent themselves accurately. We don't allow impersonation, catfishing, or falsely stating facts about yourself including name, gender, age, fitness level, or location.

Misinformation

We prohibit sharing demonstrably false or misleading content that could cause harm or negatively impact individual or public safety. This includes dangerous health misinformation, false information about civic processes, and unproven conspiracy theories.

Physical and Sexual Violence

We have zero tolerance for any content, imagery, or behavior that commits or threatens acts of physical or sexual violence. This includes stalking (physical or digital), using our platform to facilitate exploitation or human trafficking, and sexual assault of any kind, which we define as unwanted physical contact or attempted physical contact that is sexual in nature.

Workout Safety and Conduct

Members are expected to show up for workouts they've committed to or communicate cancellations respectfully. Deliberately misleading other members about workout details (location, exercises, equipment, time) or abandoning participants during a workout is prohibited. Workout hosts have a responsibility to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their participants. Learn more about how to start or join a workout on our homepage.

Scams, Fraud, and Theft

We prohibit any scam, fraud, or theft activity intended to defraud or manipulate members. This includes requesting financial support, lying about workout details for financial gain, or any deceptive behavior aimed at extracting money or material resources from members.

Sexual Harassment

We do not tolerate sexual harassment in any form. This includes unwanted sexual comments or advances, cyberflashing (sharing unsolicited sexually explicit images), sharing or threatening to share intimate images without consent, and fetishization of individuals based on their identity or appearance.

Spam

We do not permit unwanted or irrelevant content sent in bulk or high frequency. This includes sharing misleading links, creating excessive accounts to disrupt other members, or having multiple active profiles to engage in unwanted interactions.

Mental Health and Self-Injury

We care deeply about our members and understand some may struggle with mental health, self-injury, suicidal thoughts, substance use, or eating disorders. While we allow members to share personal experiences in supportive ways, we don't allow content that depicts, promotes, glorifies, or assists in activities that could lead to suicide, self-injury, or disordered eating.

Violent and Graphic Content

We don't permit violent, graphic, or gory content. This includes descriptions of violence in usernames or profiles, photos containing real or realistic blood, bodily fluids, or injury. Images depicting weapons are not permitted except on uniformed law enforcement or military personnel.

Platform Manipulation

We foster genuine connections. We don't allow unauthorized automated behaviors that undermine our platform, including scraping, scripting, or artificially influencing connections. We also prohibit ban evasion through new accounts, VPNs, or other methods to circumvent restrictions.
