At least when I've joined a gym, a person there would assess your fitness, ask what your goals are, and based on that you would get an exercise routine.

Following a random exercise routine can result in injury.

You should at the very least talk to a lawyer and put a disclaimer in that page.

> Following a random exercise routine can result in injury.

A trainer can check your form and help you execute the exercise safely but how does an exercise routine injure you?

It might not be super clear from the site shared here, but most of these exercises are done with barbells with weights, or dumbbells. It's not hard for a beginner to do these with incorrect form, and then increase the weight over time, until bad form plus weight results in injury.

Citation needed that bad form inherently leads to injury.

Good point, thanks for the feedback

Also add something like: I am at least 15 years old or something. That is the age requirement for many gyms.

Also, a Report button is highly recommended for anything involving user generated content.

"can result in injury"

please.... just lift super light and find your form.

When you make a website, you have to think out of the box.

Your audience will not necessarily be a 20 year old in good physical condition. It may be as well a 10 year old that doesn't know what to do with the information you are giving to them. Or someone with a pacemaker, or someone with some medical condition that puts them at risk.

Then... Not only people can get injured by following an exercise routine in good-faith... some people may injure themselves on purpose so they can sue you.

Will people be able to injure themselves anyways if you add a disclaimer to the website? Absolutely. But it won't be your fault anymore.

But that's only the start. If you allow people to write anything they want in a textbox, bad things can happen. People can write ANYTHING, not only exercise routines... And by anything, I mean, very illegal things.

And if you allow people to upload pictures, well... that can go very wrong as well.
