Squat Advice Comes With Auto-Renewing Subscriptions

The page calls squats an “ultimate health and longevity fix” and also displays subscriptions with automatic renewals and minimum payment commitments. It says squats can help with a shapely behind, blood pressure and brain health, and rates them among the best exercises a person can do. Alongside those health claims, the page lists paid access terms, a student subscription advertisement and a notice about information collected across its network.

The advice and the prices

Digital Access costs $4 for 4 weeks. After that, it automatically renews at $44 every 4 weeks unless customers cancel under the full Terms and Conditions. Payments are non-refundable, subject to law. The offer is for new customers only, and they can’t combine it with other offers.

The page also lists a 12 Month Plan with a minimum cost of $338 for the first 12 months. It charges $26 every 4 weeks, then automatically renews at a minimum of $26 every 4 weeks. Customers can’t cancel during the first 12 months, according to the terms, and payments are non-refundable, subject to law. New customers only can take up the offer; they can’t combine it with other offers, and prices after the first 12 months may vary under the full Terms and Conditions.

The offers use different payment schedules. Digital Access starts at $4 for its first 4-week period, then rises to $44 every 4 weeks on renewal. The 12 Month Plan sets a minimum first-year cost and continues through automatic payments, with no cancellations during those first 12 months. The page places these terms beside its exercise advice.

A student offer and a failed request

The page advertised a student subscription with the phrase “Verified journalism. Expert analysis,” describing it as an offer for studying and staying informed. It also reported that the request couldn’t be processed at that time.

Questions? Call 1800 070 535. Phone hours run Monday to Friday, 7:30am–6pm, and Saturday, 7:30am–11:30am (AEST). The page supplied these contact details after saying it hadn’t processed the request.

Information collected across the network

The site’s notice says it collects information about content, including ads, that users access across its network. It uses that information to make advertising and content more relevant. The notice also directs users to information about the site’s policy and opt-out choices.

The fetched page describes possible squat-related effects on blood pressure and brain health. Its commercial terms cover subscription prices, recurring charges, cancellation limits and refund conditions; its notice explains the collection of content and advertising information. The page brings health guidance together with paid subscription offers and data-policy information.
