Informed Consent

General Statement of Program Objectives and Procedures I understand that a physical fitness program may include exercises to build the cardio-respiratory system (heart and lungs), the musculoskeletal system (muscle endurance, strength, and flexibility), and to improve body composition (decrease of body fat in individuals needing to lose fat, with an increase in muscle and bone). Exercise may include aerobic activities (treadmill walking/running, bicycle riding, rowing machine exercise, group aerobic activity and other such activities), calisthenics, and weightlifting to improve muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility exercises to improve joint range of motion.

Description of Potential Risks

I understand that the reaction of the heart, lung, and blood vessel system to such exercise cannot always be predicted with accuracy. I know there is a risk of certain abnormal changes occurring during exercise, which may include abnormalities of blood pressure or heart rate, in effect of functioning of the heart, and in rare instances heart attacks. Use of the weightlifting equipment, and engaging in heavy body calisthenics, can lead to musculoskeletal strains, pain, and injury if adequate warm-up, gradual progression, and safety procedures are not followed.

(PARQ) Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Becoming more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their Doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, this questionnaire (the PARQ) will tell you if you should check with your Doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age and you are not used to being active, check with your Doctor.

Social Media Consent

I hereby give consent to Real Bodies Health & Fitness Ltd to photograph, videotape, or otherwise digitally record and use images and/or sound recordings of myself or my child or children (if applicable) to use in any public media, including radio, television, internet, social media platforms.

Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly.

I understand and am aware that strength, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic exercise, including the use of any equipment, is a potentially hazardous activity. I also understand that fitness activities involve a risk of injury and even death and that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and using equipment with knowledge of all the dangers involved.

Cancellation Policy
