Purpose and Explanation of Procedures
Purpose and Explanation of Procedures I hereby consent to voluntarily engage in a Personal Fitness Programme with Shenda Falvey Personal Training & Bootcamps. The programme will include health/ fitness education activities. The levels of exercise I perform will be based upon my cardiorespiratory (heart and lungs) and muscular fitness. I acknowledge it has been recommended to me that I be examined by my GP and obtain his/ her approval for my participation in the programme within 30 days of the date set forth below. Furthermore, within the twelve month period preceding the date of release, I have not been advised by a GP or other healthcare professional of any medical condition which would prevent me from participating safely in a physical fitness or conditioning programme. I will be given instructions regarding the amount and type of exercise I should perform. Shenda Falvey will direct my activities, monitor my activities, and otherwise evaluate my effort. I understand that I am expected to follow the trainers’ instruction with regards to my exercise, health and fitness related programmes
If I am taking prescribed medications, I have already so informed Shenda Falvey Personal Training & Bootcamps and further agree to so inform my trainer promptly of any changes which my doctor or I have made with regard to use of any medications or change in any medical status. I will be given the opportunity for periodic assessment and evaluation at regular intervals after the start of my programme
I have been informed that during my participation in the above-described programme I will be asked to complete the physical activities unless symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or similar occurrences appear. At the point, I have been advised that it is my complete responsibility to decrease or stop exercise and that it is my obligation to inform the trainer of my symptoms. I hereby state that I have been so advised and agree to inform the trainer of my symptoms, should any develop
I understand that during the performance of exercise, the trainer will periodically monitor my performance, which may include: measuring my pulse, blood pressure or assessing my feeling of exertion for the purposes of monitoring my progress. I also understand that the trainer may reduce or stop my exercise programme, when any of these findings so indicate that this should be done for my safety and health
I understand that during the performance of the programme, physical touching and positioning of my body by the trainer may be necessary to assess my muscular and bodily reactions to specific exercise, as well as insure that I am using the proper technique and body alignment. I expressly consent to the physical contact fore the stated reasons above
Risks
It is my understanding that I have been informed that there exists the possibility during exercise of adverse changes including, but not limited to, abnormal blood pressure, fainting, physical dizziness, disorders or the heart rhythm, and less likely heart attack, stroke or even death. I further understand and have been informed that there exists the risk of bodily injury, but not limited to, injuries to the muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints of the body. I have been advised that appropriate efforts will be made to minimise these occurrences by proper assessments of my condition before each session, trainer supervision during exercise and by my own control of exercise efforts. I fully understand the risks associated with exercise, including the risk of bodily injury, heart attack, stroke or even death, and knowing these risks, it is my desire to participate as herein indicated

Shenda Falvey Personal Training & Bootcamps work on a scheduled and pre booked appointment basis. In order to effectively use our time we ask the clients give their trainer at least 48 hours notice when cancelling a Personal Training appointment. This means that cancellation should be made at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment. Personal training sessions cancelled inside of 48 hours will be billed at the normal rate of a single session to the client, or clients (in the case of group training). In the case of the pre booked 12 session discounted Bootcamp package days can be changed within the agreed 12 session timeframe if availability allows but all 12 sessions must be used within the agreed timeframe. This means that sessions can not be refunded if missed
