Acknowledgement of Risks

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I acknowledge and understand that participating in fitness activities, personal training sessions, and exercise programs involves inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, injury from physical exertion, falls, strains, sprains, abnormal blood pressure, heart attack, or even death. I understand that these risks may result from my own actions, the actions of others, the condition of the premises, or the use of exercise equipment during participation or while on the premises.

I acknowledge that exercises like weightlifting and other fitness activities carry specific dangers, such as dropping weights, overexertion, muscle fatigue leading to injury, or improper form. AD Fitness will provide guidance and instruction, but I understand it is my responsibility to inform the trainer immediately if I feel that an exercise is too difficult or if I experience any discomfort, pain, or unusual symptoms.

Additionally, I acknowledge that the gym is located in a private home basement, which requires navigating a flight of stairs. I also understand that accessing the gym involves walking on outdoor steps and the driveway, which may present risks such as slips, trips, and falls, particularly in adverse weather conditions. I accept full responsibility for my safety while using the stairs, driveway, and other outdoor areas.

Health and Medical Conditions

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I confirm that I am in good health and have no medical conditions, illnesses, or injuries that prevent me from participating in fitness activities, or that may be aggravated by physical activity or the use of stairs and exercise equipment.

I agree to inform AD Fitness of any health concerns or medical conditions that may affect my ability to participate safely. I understand that I have completed a Pre-Activity Questionnaire (PAR-Q) and have disclosed any relevant health conditions or injuries. It is my responsibility to consult with a physician before starting any new exercise or nutrition program. AD Fitness is not responsible for monitoring my health status or the effects of any exercise or nutrition program on my physical condition.

Voluntary Participation

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I voluntarily choose to participate in the training sessions and acknowledge that I am under no obligation to undertake any exercise that I am not comfortable with. I understand that I may stop any activity at any time and agree to notify AD Fitness immediately if I feel discomfort, pain, or unusual symptoms.

Equipment and Exercise Safety

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I acknowledge that I will use all equipment as instructed and will ask for clarification if I am unsure how to use any equipment safely. I understand that improper use of equipment or attempting exercises beyond my physical capability may result in injury. This includes, but is not limited to, risks such as dropping weights, incorrect form, or overexertion.

AD Fitness will take reasonable precautions to ensure the equipment is safe and functional, but I accept the risk of equipment malfunction or misuse. I agree to notify the trainer immediately if I notice any issues with the equipment.

Code of Conduct

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I agree to follow all house rules set by AD Fitness and behave respectfully while accessing the gym premises. Proper gym attire and footwear must be worn during all sessions. Smoking, alcohol, and any inappropriate behavior are strictly prohibited. Clients are not permitted to bring guests without prior approval from AD Fitness.

All equipment and property must be treated with care to avoid damage, and clients are expected to maintain cleanliness by wiping down equipment after use. Failure to adhere to these rules may result in the termination of this agreement without refund.

Acknowledgement of Pets in the Environment

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I acknowledge that the gym space is located in a private residence where pets (two chihuahuas and three cats) are present. While reasonable efforts will be made to keep the gym area safe and free from pet-related hazards, I accept the risks associated with the presence of pets, including allergies, pet dander, or the possibility of pets entering the gym area unexpectedly.

I understand that clients with known allergies to pets are advised to consult their physician before participating in sessions and accept all associated risks. I agree to inform AD Fitness of any pet-related concerns or allergies prior to participating.

Emergency Procedures

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I understand that AD Fitness has emergency protocols in place. In the event of an emergency, I authorize AD Fitness to obtain necessary medical treatment for me. I understand that I am responsible for all costs associated with any medical treatment I may receive.

Payment

The client agrees to pay for the services provided by AD Fitness according to the terms outlined in their chosen package or service agreement. Payment must be made in full prior to the commencement of the first session, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Accepted payment methods include debit and credit card.

All payments are non-refundable except as outlined in the refund policy. Late payments may result in suspension of services until the outstanding balance is paid in full. Clients are responsible for ensuring timely payment and adhering to the payment terms agreed upon. Failure to meet payment obligations may result in suspension of services and potential termination of this agreement.

Cancellations or Rescheduling

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I understand that cancellation requests made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be considered a late cancellation/no-show, and the session will be forfeited if booked as part of a package.

The only exception is if you’re able to move your session to another available time on the same day—if there’s space, I’ll do my best to accommodate. This policy helps me make necessary adjustments and accommodate other clients who may be waiting for an opening.

Session Expiry Policy

By checking the box labeled "I have read and agree to the terms above," I understand all prepaid sessions must be used within 1 year from the date of purchase unless otherwise agreed in writing. Extensions must be requested and agreed upon in writing before the expiry date.
