BeLeanr Community Guidelines

Last Updated: 12.01.26

Welcome to the BeLeanr community.

These Community Guidelines exist to make BeLeanr a safe, supportive, and motivating space for everyone working towards better health, fitness, and well-being.

Our Mission

BeLeanr exists to help people build sustainable habits, track progress, and become stronger physically and mentally without judgment, pressure, or comparison.

Our Vision

To create a positive, inclusive fitness community where people at every stage of their journey can learn, share, and grow together through encouragement, accountability, and honest support.

Our Community Values

Be Respectful

Everyone's journey is different. What works for one person may not work for another. Treat each other with empathy, patience, and respect.

Progress Over Perfection

Health isn't linear. We celebrate consistency, effort, and learning, not extremes, shortcuts, or unrealistic standards.

Leave the Community Better

Engage with the intention of helping others. Share knowledge generously, motivate thoughtfully, and uplift wherever possible.

Community Guidelines

All users of BeLeanr must follow these Community Guidelines and our Terms of Service when using any community features. Community features may include, but are not limited to, comments, discussions, groups, shared workouts, progress posts, or other user-generated content.

Violations of these guidelines may result in content removal, warnings, suspension, or permanent account removal. Please remember that BeLeanr community spaces are public. Anything you post may be visible to others and difficult to remove completely later.
