TRAIN SMART

Safety Information

REPPED is entertainment, not a certified training program or medical service. This page covers the three things worth knowing before your first battle: exercise safety, camera and connection safety, and conduct safety.

Exercise safety

  • Consult a doctor before starting any new exercise routine if you have a pre-existing condition, injury, or you're pregnant.
  • Warm up before battling — a cold 30-second sprint into burpees is how strains happen.
  • Clear space around you. You need enough room to fully extend in every direction for push-ups, squats, burpees, and plank.
  • Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, chest tightness, or shortness of breath beyond normal exertion.
  • Prioritize full range of motion over speed — it scores better and it's safer. See our push-up form guide.
  • REPPED's AI scores form and effort; it does not screen for injury risk or medical fitness to exercise. That judgment is yours.

Camera & connection safety

  • Your video is never uploaded to our servers for scoring — pose detection runs entirely on-device. See our AI Judging page.
  • During a live match, video streams peer-to-peer directly to your opponent — check what's visible behind you before going live, since your surroundings are visible to a stranger for those 30 seconds.
  • Never feel obligated to show your face if you're not comfortable — frame the camera to capture your body for scoring without your face if you prefer.
  • You can end a match or leave a duel/challenge link at any time.

Conduct safety

  • Harassment, inappropriate camera content, and targeted abuse are against our Community Guidelines and reportable.
  • Report any player, camera content, or message that made you uncomfortable via Contact — select "Safety or conduct report."
  • Public profiles and challenge links are visible to anyone with the link — keep that in mind when sharing.

For parents

If you're a parent considering REPPED for a teen, read our dedicated Parents FAQ — it covers age requirements, camera exposure, and what parental oversight looks like in practice.

If something goes wrong

For urgent safety concerns involving illegal content or an immediate threat, contact local authorities first. For everything else — a rule violation, a safety concern, or just something that felt off — reach us through Contact.

Why the format is safer than a long session

Most home-training injuries do not happen in the first minutes. They happen after form has quietly collapsed and somebody keeps going anyway, because the plan said forty minutes and they are twenty-eight minutes in. Fatigue changes the movement before it changes how the movement feels, which is why people are consistently poor at judging the moment to stop.

A thirty-second cap removes most of that window. The set ends before the point where you would be accumulating repetitions out of stubbornness, and the scoring reinforces it: a rushed shallow repetition is recorded as half a repetition, so there is no reward for grinding out bad ones. The incentive points the same way the safety advice does, which is unusual and deliberate.

Clear the space before you arm the camera

The realistic hazard in a bedroom is not the exercise, it is the furniture. A burpee needs more floor than people estimate, and the moment to discover a coffee table is not halfway through a countdown with somebody waiting.

Give yourself the length of your body plus roughly an arm span in every direction. Move anything with a corner. Do it on a floor with grip rather than a rug that slides, and take your shoes off if they are the kind that slip. This takes fifteen seconds and prevents almost everything that actually goes wrong.

When not to start a battle at all

There is a competitive pull built into this — that is the entire point of it — and it is worth naming the situations where the right move is to close the tab. If you are ill, if something hurts sharply rather than aches, if you are dizzy or have not eaten, or if you are coming back from an injury that has not been cleared by somebody qualified to clear it, the battle can wait. A rating is a number in a game; nothing about it is worth training through pain for.

If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or have any medical reason to be careful with sudden maximal effort, speak to a doctor before doing intense interval work of any kind. This is not a formality in small print. Thirty seconds of all-out effort is genuinely intense, and the fact that it is short is exactly what makes people underestimate it.
