Terms and conditions

Complete Life Fitness Group Exercise and Personal Training Terms and Conditions

Introduction

Our skilled trainers are equipped with the knowledge to effectively provide coaching, supervision, advice, and support that the client may need to help them achieve their goals. In addition, we have designed a safe programme of exercise that will take into account the client’s personal goals, fitness levels, and likes and dislikes related to exercise.

Know that any fitness programme cannot be guaranteed without your full cooperation and efforts within or outside the sessions. As such, you and your trainer must be willing to fully commit to such training in order to achieve the desired result.

Rest assured that all information from the client will be strictly kept private and confidential. All Complete Life Fitness trainers will maintain a professional attitude and manner throughout every session. These Terms and Conditions form part of your agreement with the trainer.

As per company rules, you are required to wear appropriate clothing and footwear. You are also advised to bring a bottle of water and a towel.

Health screening

All clients are required to provide a PAR-Q/health waiver before commencing any exercise programme to ensure that you are safe to execute any forms of exercise. These screenings may be collected in paper form in class or via our booking site if you signed up online. Your trainer may require a letter of ‘medical clearance’ from your GP, unless you are referred by a healthcare professional. In that case, there should be a completed referral form containing the required information. Please be aware that your GP may charge for providing this letter.

May we remind you that it is your responsibility to inform the trainer if there are any health conditions to consider that might affect your ability to exercise safely. Any changes to your health will need to be recorded on an additional health screening form and/or in our client notes online. There are times when your trainer requires further medical information from a practitioner; please provide such details responsibly.

Furthermore, it is important to understand that there are inherent risks in participating in an exercise programme. If you claim to have any injury whilst participating in the training, you acknowledge that the trainer is not responsible, except when the injury was caused by his/her gross negligence or intentional act. Your trainer cannot be held liable in any way for undeclared or unknown medical conditions.

As for your health screening records, they will be kept long enough to ensure that the records we hold will be in line with any statutory or legal requirements. You may have access to these records (of your own) upon request.

Diet plans supplied by your trainer are for general information only, and should not be treated as a substitute for the medical advice of your own doctor or any other healthcare professional. When provided with healthy diet plans, they should not be relied upon to meet specific dietary requirements. They are given as a suggestion for a generally balanced diet. If there are any concerns about your health in general, please contact your local healthcare provider.
