How do stories get published?
Personal stories are published only with explicit written consent, captured through our intake form before anything is drafted. The form records permission to publish the story, permission to use any submitted photos, confirmation that the subject is 18 or older, and acknowledgement of takedown rights. No consent, no story.
How do roundups feature people?
Roundups cover public creators who document their own fitness journeys. We feature them through official Instagram embeds — we host none of their photos or videos. If a creator deletes or restricts a source post, the embed disappears from our page automatically. The analysis and commentary are ours; the visuals stay theirs.
Do you use AI to write articles?
AI tools assist our drafting. Every article is reviewed by a human editor before publication — nothing is published unattended. Our drafting rules prohibit invention outright: no fabricated people, quotes, statistics or transformation numbers. If a fact isn’t in the source interview or public post, it doesn’t appear in the article.
How do takedowns work?
Anyone featured on The FitFolk can request removal at any time — no reason needed. Consented stories are removed within 48 hours of a request. Embedded posts are controlled by their creators: deleting or restricting the original post removes it from our pages automatically, and we will also remove the surrounding coverage on request. See how to request a takedown.
Do you use affiliate links?
Not yet. If we ever add affiliate links — for example, on products a story subject genuinely uses — the page will carry a clear disclosure line, and affiliate links will only ever appear on consented stories, never on roundups about public creators.
