Terms of use
Last updated September 23, 2026
This website is run by Trevor Rizun, trading as Rizun Resilience Therapy. By using it you accept what is set out below. If you do not, please do not use it.
What this site is
It describes a personal training practice and the ideas behind it. It carries training and nutrition information, summaries of published research, and personal essays.
What this site is not
It is not medical advice, and reading it does not make you my client.
I am a personal trainer. I hold a B.A. in Psychology and am completing my C.S.C.S. certification. I am not a physician, a nurse, a psychologist, a counsellor, a dietitian or a registered nutritionist. Nothing on this site is a diagnosis, a treatment, or a prescription of any kind, and nothing here should be used in place of advice from a qualified health professional.
If you have a medical condition, are taking medication, are pregnant, or have any doubt about whether exercise is safe for you, speak to your doctor before acting on anything you read here. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
Exercise carries risk
Physical training carries a risk of injury, and in rare cases of serious harm. That risk is real whether you train with me or on your own. Deciding to train is your decision, and you make it knowing that.
Training with me in person involves a separate written agreement covering health screening, informed consent and assumption of risk. This page does not replace it.
The research pages
The References page and the review article summarise published studies. They are summaries, written by me, of other people’s work. They are there so you can see what a claim rests on and go and read it yourself. They are not a systematic review and they are not clinical guidance.
Inspire
The newsletter is personal writing — opinion and experience, including about spirituality. It is not a claim about what training will do for you, and it is not health advice.
Rates, bookings and payment
Rates are shown on the Rates page and may change. The rate shown is introductory. Payment is taken through Stripe, whose terms apply to the payment itself.
Cancellations. I need 48 hours’ notice to cancel or move a booked session. Cancel with less than that and the session is charged in full.
No-shows. A session you do not turn up for is charged in full.
That time was held for you and I turned other work away for it. If something serious happens, tell me and we will sort it out.
Merchandise
Merchandise is sold through my Etsy shop and printed and shipped by Printful. Your purchase contract is with that shop under Etsy’s terms. Returns, shipping times and refunds follow Etsy’s and Printful’s policies, not this page.
What is mine
The writing and the photographs I have taken are mine. Please do not republish them without asking — but do link to them, quote a line with a credit, or send them to someone. That is what they are for.
Some photographs on this site are stock images released under CC0 and are not mine. Each is recorded with its source in the site’s files.
Links to other sites
Where I link to a study, a shop or another organisation, I do not control that site and am not responsible for it.
Accuracy and availability
I try to keep this site accurate and I correct things when I find them wrong. I do not promise it is complete, current, or always reachable, and I may change or remove anything on it.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for loss or injury arising from your use of this website or from acting on information you found here. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the laws of Canada that apply there.
Changes
If this page changes materially I will change the date at the top.
