Terms & Conditions

​

All information to be given will be kept confidential by Shape Plus.

​

 

• Explanation of the exercise test – You may be asked to perform a number of exercise/health related assessments (usually to be carried out on the 1st session). These assessments will vary in exercise intensity. You will be monitored closely throughout and only asked to complete tests appropriate to your fitness level.  I may stop any test at any time because of signs of fatigue or, you may stop when you wish because of personal feelings of fatigue or discomfort.

 

• Risks and discomforts assumptions - The client understands that the reaction of the heart, lungs, and blood vessel system to such exercise cannot always be predicted with accuracy. The client understands that during or following exercise there is a risk that they may experience abnormal blood pressure or heart rate, ineffective functioning of the heart, and in rare instances, heart attacks. Use of the weight lifting equipment and engaging in heavy body calisthenics can lead to musculoskeletal strains, pain and injury. Other risks might include fainting, disorder of heartbeat and in rare instances, heart attack, stroke or death.  Every effort will be made to minimise these risks by evaluation of preliminary information relating to your health and fitness and by observations during testing.  

 

• Responsibilities of the client - information you possess about your health status or previous experiences of unusual feelings with physical effort may affect the safety and value of your exercise tests.  Your prompt reporting of feelings of effort during the testing itself is also of great importance.  It is your responsibility to fully disclose such information.

 

• Benefits to be expected - The client also understands that a program of a regular exercise for the heart, lungs, muscles and joints has many associated benefits. These may include a decrease in body fat and risk of heart disease as well as improvement in blood fats, blood pressure, and psychological function. The amount and degree of benefits experienced will be relative to personal adherence of an exercise program based on prescribed amounts of intensity, duration, frequency, progression and types of activity

 

• Freedom of consent - The client's permission to perform the exercise/health assessments (including body composition analysis if required) is voluntary. The client is free to deny consent or stop at any point, if they so desire.

 

• Using/booking Shape Plus services, the client confirms they have read the above information and they understand the potential risks and benefits of working with a Personal Trainer and they voluntarily agree to assume such risks.
