Before you train

Training waiver and health disclaimer.

Last updated 16 September 2026. Version 2.
Better Within FZE LLC, Ajman Free Zone, United Arab Emirates. Licence 2625216533888.

Better Within is online coaching. It is not medical advice and it is not a regulated health service. This page explains what that means, what to check before you start, and what you are agreeing to when you sign.

Read this before you buy, and before you train. When you buy Booty Builder you will be asked to sign this waiver. You will also be asked to tick that you have read it when you join the list. It is short, and it matters.

1. What Better Within is

Better Within is an online fitness coaching business, operated by Better Within FZE LLC from Ajman Free Zone in the United Arab Emirates, under a licence covering Lifestyle Development Consultancy and E-Commerce.

Everything we provide is general fitness and nutrition information for healthy adults, delivered digitally. Sophie coaches online. She does not train anyone in person, she does not attend your gym, and she does not supervise your sessions.

2. What Better Within is not

This is coaching. It is not healthcare, and it is not regulated as healthcare in the UAE or anywhere else.

It is not:

  • medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or a prescription
  • physiotherapy, rehabilitation or injury treatment
  • dietetic or clinical nutrition, or eating disorder support
  • psychological or mental health care
  • a licensed health service under the Dubai Health Authority, the Ministry of Health and Prevention, or any equivalent body
  • personalised to your medical history, supervised, or monitored

Sophie Hughes is a Level 3 qualified personal trainer. She is not a doctor, physiotherapist, registered dietitian, nurse or psychologist. Nothing she provides replaces professional medical care.

Never ignore medical advice, or delay getting it, because of something in our programme.

3. Get medical clearance first if any of this applies

Speak to a doctor or another suitably qualified healthcare professional before you start if you:

  • have an injury, or are recovering from one
  • have a spinal, joint, bone or muscular condition
  • have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, or have ever had chest pain
  • have diabetes, or a metabolic, respiratory or neurological condition
  • are pregnant, think you may be, or have given birth in the last six months
  • have an eating disorder now, or have had one in the past
  • take medication affecting your heart rate, blood pressure, balance, appetite or energy
  • have not exercised regularly for a long time
  • are recovering from surgery or illness
  • are under 18
  • feel unsure, for any reason at all, whether exercise is safe for you right now

If you are not sure, ask. It costs you one appointment.

4. Exercise carries risk, and you accept it

Physical exercise carries a real risk of injury, and in rare cases of serious injury, illness or death. That risk exists in any gym, with any programme, however carefully it is written.

Risks include, and are not limited to: muscle strains and tears, ligament and tendon damage, joint and back injury, fractures, dizziness or fainting, cardiac events, heat illness, dehydration, worsening of a condition you already have, and injury caused by equipment or by other people in the gym.

You take part voluntarily. You accept these risks knowingly and freely, and you accept full responsibility for them.

5. What you are confirming when you sign

  1. You are 18 or over.
  2. You are in good enough health to take part in unsupervised physical exercise.
  3. You have obtained medical clearance if anything in section 3 applies to you.
  4. You have told us anything relevant, and you understand we rely on what you tell us.
  5. You understand this is remote coaching with no supervision, and that your form, your equipment and your decisions in the gym are yours alone.
  6. You will train within your own limits and will not push through pain.
  7. You will stop immediately and seek medical help if you feel pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, breathlessness or anything that does not feel right.
  8. You have read and understood this waiver in full.

6. Waiver, release and indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you waive, release and discharge Better Within FZE LLC, Sophie Hughes, and any officer, employee, contractor or agent of the company, from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind, whether arising in contract, tort, negligence, statute or otherwise, connected to:

  • any injury, illness, aggravation of an existing condition, disability or death suffered while following, or as a result of following, our training, nutrition or lifestyle guidance
  • your use of any exercise, movement, equipment, facility or gym in connection with the programme
  • any dietary or nutritional choice you make based on our guidance, including any allergy, intolerance or adverse reaction
  • any decision you take, or fail to take, about your own health
  • results you did or did not achieve

This release applies whether the claim is brought by you or by anyone on your behalf, including your estate, and it survives completion of the programme.

You further agree to indemnify the company against any claim brought by a third party arising from your own breach of this waiver or your own misuse of the programme.

7. Governing law

This waiver is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, and the courts of the United Arab Emirates have exclusive jurisdiction, subject only to any mandatory protection the law of your own country of residence gives you that cannot be contracted out of.

If any part of this waiver is found unenforceable in your jurisdiction, the remainder continues to apply to the fullest extent permitted there.

8. Nutrition, allergies and supplements

Our nutrition guidance is a set of general ideas for healthy adults. It is not a clinical diet, it is not built around your medical history, and it does not account for allergies or intolerances.

Check every ingredient against your own allergies before you eat it. If a doctor or dietitian has given you different advice, follow theirs, not ours. We do not prescribe supplements.

9. No promise of results

We make no promise, guarantee or representation about the results you will get. Results depend on things nobody controls. Photographs and testimonials show individual results and are not typical, average or promised.

10. If you are struggling

If you are having a hard time with food, your body or your mental health, please speak to a doctor or a qualified professional. This programme is not the right support for that, and we would rather you got the right help than followed a training plan.

11. Signing

You will be asked to sign this waiver before you receive the programme. Your signature, your full name and the date are recorded and kept by us as proof that you read and accepted it.
