Timeframe-claim restriction
A specific timeframe presented as the expected outcome ("in just two weeks") is treated as a claim needing a disclaimer.
Transformation content that stays honest about the work.
Program results, supplement stacks, and "in X weeks" claims move fast across creator content. PinkSpider checks the language before and after it ships.

Why review gets harder here
What makes fitness & activewear content different.
A fitness result depends on effort, genetics, and time that a 30-second reel can't show, so a single before/after easily reads as a guarantee.
- "In just two weeks" language is easy to say and hard to substantiate at scale
Content signals
What reviewers check for in fitness & activewear content.
- Specific timeframes or results presented as the expected outcome
- Missing disclosure on gifted or paid program, app, and supplement partnerships
Example knowledge rulesRule 1 Rule 2 Rule 3
Rule types reviewers apply to fitness & activewear content.
These examples show the pattern a reviewer is trained to look for, not a finished or legal rulebook. Most teams layer their own brand and category guidance on top.
Results-vary disclaimer requirement
Transformation and program-result content generally needs a "results vary" line alongside effort-and-consistency context.
Sponsorship disclosure for gifted programs
Gifted or paid programs, apps, and supplements need a clear disclosure, distinct from an organic recommendation.

Here's an example of one piece of content moving through review: what the reviewer saw, what they flagged, and why, so you can see the process rather than a legal ruling.
