Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 November 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Ironwork for using the iPhone app, the web app at app.ironwork.fit, the website at ironwork.fit and the Ironwork MCP server at mcp.ironwork.fit (together, "Ironwork"). By creating an account or using Ironwork you accept them. How we handle personal data is in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms.

In short

  • Ironwork is in beta. It is free while it is in beta, features change, and things may break.
  • Ironwork is a training log and a set of tools, not a doctor, physiotherapist or coach. You train at your own risk.
  • Your training data is yours. You can export it and delete your account at any time.
  • What you share with a coach, a friend or a club is your choice; be respectful to the people you share with.
  • If you connect an AI app, that app's own terms apply to what it does with your data.

Who we are

Ironwork is provided by Federico Giaj Levra, Italy ("we", "us"). Contact: [email protected].

Beta

Ironwork is a beta service, offered through Apple TestFlight on iPhone and on the web. While it is in beta:

  • it is free of charge, and we will tell you in the app before any part of it becomes paid; nothing you have already paid for is affected, because there is nothing to pay;
  • features can be added, changed or removed, and there may be errors, interruptions or data loss, so keep an export of anything you cannot afford to lose (Profile → Privacy → Export Data);
  • we may end the beta, or Ironwork, by telling you in the app or by email at least 30 days before, so you have time to export your data.

Your account

  • Age: accounts are for people aged 18 and over. You confirm this when you create an account. You can use Ironwork without an account, with everything kept on your device.
  • Signing in: you sign in with a code sent to your email address, or with Sign in with Apple. Keep access to your email account secure: anyone who can read your email can sign in to Ironwork as you.
  • Accurate details: use a display name that is not misleading and does not impersonate someone else.
  • One person per account: an account is personal. Do not share it or sign in as someone else.
  • Ending it: you can delete your account in the app at any time (Profile → Privacy → Delete Account). We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, as set out under Suspension and closing.

Your content

Your content is what you put into Ironwork: workouts, routines, programs, notes, photos, messages, comments, check-ins, machines you add to a club, and your profile.

  • It stays yours. You give us only the permission we need to store it, process it, show it to you and to the people you choose to share it with, and keep the service running and safe. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for what the Privacy Policy says stays with someone else (for example a conversation with a coach).
  • You are responsible for it. Only upload what you have the right to share. Do not upload photos of other people without their permission.

Coaches and clients

  • A coach and a client connect only when the client accepts an invitation, and either can end the connection at any time.
  • The client decides what a coach sees, in Profile → Privacy. A coach may use what a client shares only to coach that client.
  • Ironwork is the tool, not a party to the coaching. Any agreement between a coach and a client, including prices, payments, cancellations and the quality of the coaching, is between them. Session packages in Ironwork are a count kept by the coach; Ironwork takes no payments.
  • A coach is responsible for the advice and programs they give, and for holding any qualification, insurance or permission their work needs where they work.
  • A coach can add a client who has no Ironwork account (Add Without Account), to plan and log that person's training. The coach must have that person's permission to enter their name and training, and is responsible for it. That person's rights over their personal data are in the Privacy Policy.

Friends and clubs

  • Friends see what each of you chose to share; members of a club see what each member shares with that club. Anyone can leave, remove or block at any time.
  • You can train together with a friend. A friend can log sets in your workout only after you allow it, and you can take over or turn it off at any time. The workout stays yours, and the friend who logs never sees your notes.
  • Club pages and machine lists are written by members. We do not check them, and a gym does not run or endorse its club unless it says so. Machine weights and settings may be wrong: check the machine before you load it.
  • Starting a club gives no special role and no ownership of the club.

Gym clubs

  • A club is a page members create about a public gym or other venue. It is not run by, affiliated with, endorsed by or claimed by that venue unless the club says so.
  • A club holds no reviews or ratings of the venue: only its name, place, members, members' shared workouts and the machine list.
  • If you own or run the venue, you can ask us to correct, rename or remove its club: in the app, Report Club › "This is my gym", or by email to [email protected]. Anyone can report a club, a machine or a member that breaks these terms or the law the same way.
  • We act on valid notices without undue delay, under the EU Digital Services Act: we tell the person who sent the notice what we decided, and the members concerned why, and either can ask us to look again.

Acceptable use

Do not use Ironwork to:

  • harass, threaten, bully or abuse anyone, or share content that is hateful, sexual, violent or illegal;
  • impersonate someone, or mislead people about who you are;
  • share someone else's personal data, photos or training without their permission;
  • send spam, advertising or invitations to people who did not ask for them;
  • break the law, including privacy, consumer and intellectual property law;
  • get around the limits, the privacy controls or the security of Ironwork, read data you were not given, or test its security without our written permission;
  • copy, scrape or resell the exercise library, the animations or the service, or use Ironwork to build a competing product;
  • overload the service, including through automated access other than an AI app you connected through the consent screen.

You can report a person, a club or a machine from the app, or write to [email protected]. We look at every report by hand.

Training, health and the numbers Ironwork shows

  • Not medical advice. Ironwork, its programs, its weight suggestions, its warm-ups, its estimates (such as estimated one-rep maxes, plates to load and weekly sets per muscle) and anything a coach or an AI app tells you through it are for information only. They are not medical, physiotherapy or nutrition advice, and they do not replace a qualified professional who knows you.
  • Check with a doctor before starting or changing a training program, especially if you are pregnant, injured, have a medical condition or have not trained for a long time. Stop and get help if you feel pain, dizziness or shortness of breath.
  • You decide what you lift. Use good technique, safe equipment and a spotter or safety bars where needed. Numbers can be wrong because of what was logged, a wrong machine setting, a bug or an estimate that does not fit you.
  • Apple Health values are shown as Apple Health gives them; we do not check them.
  • Strava: if you connect Strava (Profile → Privacy → Connected apps → Strava), Ironwork sends the workouts you finish, and those your coach or a friend finishes for you, to your Strava account. Strava's own terms and privacy policy apply to what Strava does with them. You can disconnect at any time with Disconnect on the same screen.

Connected AI apps

You can connect an AI app you use, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to your Ironwork account through the MCP server at mcp.ironwork.fit.

  • Nothing is shared until you allow the app on Ironwork's consent screen, and you can disconnect it at any time in Profile → Privacy → Connected apps or in the AI app; access then ends at once.
  • A connected app can read your workouts, exercises, records and programs, and can add drafts of programs, routines and custom exercises that you review and save in Ironwork. It cannot change or delete anything, or log a workout for you. What it can read is set out in the Privacy Policy.
  • The AI app is run by another company under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not choose, control or pay it, and we are not responsible for what it says, including any training advice, or for what it does with the data you let it read. Check its suggestions before you follow them.
  • Do not use the MCP server except through an AI app you connected yourself, and keep within the limits on requests and drafts.

Ironwork's own content

The app, its design, the Ironwork name and logo, the exercise library and its animations (some of which we license from others) belong to us or our licensors. You may use them only inside Ironwork, for your own training or your coaching.

Suspension and closing

We may suspend or close an account, or remove content, if it breaks these terms or the law, puts other people or the service at risk, or if the law requires it. Where we can, we tell you why and give you a chance to answer and to export your data first. If you think we got it wrong, write to [email protected].

Liability

  • Ironwork is provided "as is" and "as available" during the beta. We work to keep it running and your data safe, but we do not promise that it will always be available, error-free or fit for a particular purpose.
  • To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for injury, loss or damage that comes from your training, from advice given by a coach, a friend or an AI app, from content other people add, or from data loss during the beta.
  • Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law. If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms takes away the rights consumer law in your country gives you.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, for example when Ironwork leaves beta or adds features. We will update the date at the top. If a change matters to you, such as a new price or a change to what you can do with your data, we will tell you in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you do not agree, you can export your data and delete your account before then.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer living in the EU, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts of that country.

If you have a complaint, write to us first at [email protected] and we will try to resolve it.
