Health Advice Comes With a $338 Subscription Pitch

A page describes the squat as an “ultimate health and longevity fix” while offering a subscription that costs at least $338 for its first 12 months. Its fetched content says squats may help with a shapely behind, blood pressure and brain health, and calls them one of the best exercises a person can do. The page also spells out recurring charges, limits on cancellation and the collection of user information.

The health claim, and what’s provided

The page presents squats as a simple way to improve appearance, blood pressure and brain health. Its title also points to possible links between the exercise, the back, joints and lifespan. But the fetched content names no expert, cites no research findings and gives no supporting figures, so readers can’t assess the scale of the claimed benefits.

That gap matters. The health promise is broad, but the details supplied are brief. Readers hear that squats rank among the best exercises, yet aren’t told how often to do them, what evidence backs the claim or who assessed the exercise. The sales terms, by contrast, give exact prices and renewal conditions.

The price of access

Digital Access costs $4 for four weeks, then renews automatically at $44 every four weeks unless customers cancel under the full Terms and Conditions. Payments aren’t refundable, subject to law, and the offer is for new customers only; it can’t be combined with other offers.

The 12 Month Plan costs at least $338 for its first 12 months, with charges of $26 every four weeks. After that, it renews automatically for at least $26 every four weeks. Customers can’t cancel during the first 12 months, the terms say. Payments aren’t refundable, subject to law, and only new customers can take up the offer; they can’t combine it with other offers. Prices after the first 12 months may vary under the full Terms and Conditions.

A student subscription also appeared with the pitch “Verified journalism. Expert analysis” for studying and staying informed. The page said it couldn’t process the request at that time and listed 1800 070 535 for questions. Phone hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30am–6pm, and Saturday, 7:30am–11:30am (AEST).

Information collected across the network

A notice says the site collects information about content, including ads, that users access across its network. It says this information helps make advertising and content more relevant, and directs users to its policy and opt-out choices.

The fetched content says nothing about community exercise groups, mutual aid, direct action or other self-organized responses. Instead, its practical details focus on subscription tiers, renewal charges, cancellation rules and data collection. The page bills the exercise as accessible; its terms explain who controls access and what users may pay.
