As per our Terms and Conditions, we do not offer refunds or credits for unused subscription periods, accidental purchases, medical conditions or any similar reason or event. 

Equally, we are unable to offer refunds to users changing over from an Android to Apple device (or vice versa), because accounts are currently linked to the Apple ID or Google Play Store ID associated with the device used to subscribe. This means that users cannot use their logins across different device types and app store platforms. 

Please be aware:

• Cancelling your subscription will not provide a refund, or pro rata remaining subscription charges
• After cancelling your subscription, you will be able to continue using the Courtney Black app for the course of the remaining duration you have paid for.
• To prevent the billing cycle rolling over once the subscription duration has ended, you can cancel future payments in the app store.

Our subscriptions are handled entirely by either Google Play Store or Apple App Store, depending on your chosen device. We are unable to trigger refunds from these platforms, as this is a standard App Store policy.

Firstly, please ensure you are using the latest version of the app, you can check this via your chosen App Store. (Apple App Store or Google Play Store)

Once you've confirmed you are using the latest app version, please close the app (On Android and iPhone this can be done by swiping up to view the apps running in the background) and then reopen it. 

This will refresh the app and ensure that you can see the latest additions such as new meals, exercise phases or Real Time challenges.

PLEASE NOTE: The Meal List is based on your dietary preferences added to your profile, such as vegan, no dairy, no fruit etc. so you will see meals suitable for you. You can change this at any time.

In order to upgrade your subscription (for example from a 1 month rolling to a 6 month rolling subscription) you will need to cancel your current payments in the app store, and wait for your existing term to come to an end, then you can resubscribe for your chosen duration.

Even if you do a workout every day, if the majority of your daily life is spent sitting (eg: office based job, seated at your desk, driving the car) you are “not active”. If you spend all day being active and on your feet (gardener, bike courier) you are “very active”.

If you're somewhere in between, you are either "lightly active" (spend some of the day on your feet but not being physically active, such as a salesman, teacher or hairdresser) or "active" (spend most of the day on your feet and undertake some physical activity, such as a waiter or dog walker).

If in doubt, we recommend selecting "lightly active", as most people fall into this category.

We calculate your calories based on the information you input to your profile (height, weight, goal, activity level). It can easily be updated in the “Edit Profile”.

You should be aiming for the calorie goal stated in the app. The calories amounts may not always add up to exactly the same, but this just means you can add/lose a snack, or amend portion sizes accordingly.

When more than one serving is made in a recipe, that means you’ve got some leftover to use as meal prep. You should eat one serving at a time but lots of our meals and snacks can be stored in the fridge. For example, if a recipe makes 6 servings, you’ll eat one and then you’ll have 5 left over.

The calorie information displayed on any recipe is for ONE SERVING. Even if the recipe makes more than one serving, we've shown the calorie and macro (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) for one. 

If you’re training less, you may feel less hungry, but eating roughly the same amount of calories isn’t a problem.

As you lose weight you can update this in the app profile settings. This will then calculate your target calories accordingly.

The calorie target is calculated based on the activity level and goal entered in your profile on the app. You do not need to add extra calories to the calorie target.

If you select “Add Food Item” and then “Add Own Item”, you can add items of your choice that aren’t listed in our “Add Food Item” list. Add the correct calorie and macro information (Carbohydrates, Fats, Proteins) and Add Food. You can then add this new item to your Meal Plan!

The Shopping List has been designed as a helpful guide, with all the different components and ingredients from your meal plan for the week, to help you plan ahead and shop for the right products. If you use any substitutes, or already have any of the items at home, then that's fine. The Shopping List is to help out as a guide for your weekly shop. Equally, if you are feeding an entire household, you may have to increase the amounts of each ingredient to meet your needs.

We aim to make our Home Workouts as accessible as possible for everyone to enjoy. Some of the Home Workouts do require dumbbells, a kettlebell and/or a resistance band - however you’ll still be working out if you complete the exercise without equipment. Water bottles or tins of beans can be a great substitute of dumbbells at home! You can now categorise the Real Time Challenges, and select those with No Equipment Needed, or whichever category you prefer!

You’ll have access to the next phase of your workout once you’ve completed the first phase.

Rest days are so important! They allow your muscles to rest and recover. Listen to your body - if you’re over exercising you could cause an injury or burnout.

That’s a good question! As with taking a rest day, you need to listen to your body and know your own limits. This depends on many factors such as your level of fitness and the type of exercise you do. 30 minutes to 1 hour a day is a sustainable frequency, but as each person is unique there isn’t an exact amount we can recommend.

If you are pushing yourself in a workout, you will see the benefits from exercising once a day. We recommend varying between Phases and Real Time Challenges. For example, if you’re following the 4 or 5 day home plan, you can supplement your workout phases with a Real Time Challenge on day 6, or swap one of the Phase days for a Real Time Challenge.

You can add workouts of your choice into the weekly planner from Your Plan, All Workouts and Real Time Challenges. Explore the workout lists and add your chosen workouts with the "Add To Workout Planner" button. List as many of as few as you'd like, depending on your preferences, and remove unwanted workouts by clicking the small bin icon.
