Terms of Use
These terms apply when you use the DTM Fitness app and website, which are operated by DO THE MOST FITCO (Pty) Ltd, a company registered in South Africa (registration number 2026/864468/07) (“DTM”, “we”). By using the app you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.
1. Train safely: this is not medical advice
DTM gives general strength-training guidance. It isn’t a medical service and doesn’t replace a doctor, physiotherapist or qualified coach who can see you in person. Check with a doctor before you start if you have a heart condition, chest pain, dizziness or fainting, high blood pressure, a recent injury or operation, are pregnant, or have been told to limit exercise.
Stop straight away and seek help if you feel chest pain, severe breathlessness, faintness or sharp pain. Weights, sets and reps in the app are suggestions based on what you log. You decide what’s safe for you on the day. Use good technique, warm up, and use a spotter or safety equipment where appropriate.
2. Who can use DTM
You must be at least 14 to use the app. Cloud backup and the Smart Coach are for people aged 18 and over.
3. Your account
Keep access to your email account secure, as it’s how you sign in. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile → Settings → Account & backup → Delete account).
4. The Smart Coach
The Smart Coach is powered by artificial intelligence (AI). It can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, so use your own judgement and don’t rely on it for medical decisions. The Smart Coach can suggest changes to your plan, but it only makes one when you tap to confirm. Your weights are always worked out by the app from your logged training. We may limit how many questions you can ask each day.
5. Fair use
Don’t misuse the app: for example, don’t try to access other people’s data, disrupt the service, reverse-engineer it, or use the Smart Coach to produce harmful content. We may suspend accounts that do.
6. DTM Pro subscription
Training with DTM needs a DTM Pro subscription, bought through the App Store with your Apple ID. There are two plans:
- Monthly: US$14.99 a month.
- Yearly: US$79.99 a year, starting with a 7-day free trial.
Prices differ by country (for example R199.99 a month or R999.99 a year in South Africa), and the App Store always shows your exact price, in your currency, before you buy.
Free trial. The 7-day free trial is for the yearly plan only, and once per Apple ID. If you don’t cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your Apple ID is charged for the first year.
Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year, at the price shown in the App Store, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple ID is charged within the 24 hours before renewal.
Cancelling. Cancel any time in your iPhone’s Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or from Profile → DTM Pro → Manage subscription in the app. You keep DTM Pro until the end of the period you’ve paid for. Deleting the app or your account doesn’t cancel a subscription.
Refunds. Payments and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms; request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. We never see your card details.
Without a subscription, your training screens stay locked, but your progress, workout history, settings, data download and account deletion stay available to you.
If we change prices, Apple will tell you before the new price applies, and where the law requires it, ask you to agree first.
7. Our content
The app, its training engine, programmes, text and design belong to DTM or our licensors. You may use them for your own personal training. Your workout data belongs to you.
8. Liability
We work hard to keep DTM accurate and available, but we provide it “as is” and can’t promise it will always be error-free. As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for injury, loss or damage arising from your training or from relying on the app, except where that is caused by our negligence or can’t legally be excluded. Nothing in these terms affects your rights as a consumer.
9. Apple
These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the app. Apple has no responsibility to support the app and isn’t responsible for any claims about it.
10. Changes and contact
We may update these terms and will tell you in the app about important changes. Questions? Email [email protected].
