RESULTS DISCLAIMER

The members featured on this website worked extremely hard, committed to the program and basically did what we told them to do. Many people won't and so won't get the results like this. Don't fool yourself, be ready to work. Because achieving optimal health and fitness is not an exact science and the combination of exercise and input to achieve desire results may vary from individual to individual.

Finally, following any lifestyle, fitness, nutrition and general health tips or programs contained on this website/blog does not guarantee that you will achieve desire results or that you will look like images that might be posted on the Raw Strength Gym website/blog.
