Waiver of Liability

Cancellation Policy/No Refunds

Clients must reschedule personal training sessions at least 24 hours in advance. If a training session is canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled start time, the client understands that they forfeit any fees paid. It is understood that no personal training refunds will be issued for any reason.

Training Services Policy

Personal Training is described and serviced differently by every trainer. Training varies depending on such things as the pedagogy of the trainer and goals of the client. Personalities of both parties also affect training methods. Understand that the methods I use as a trainer will vary person to person, and often shift within cycles of training.

Our sessions will act as a space to gain both experience and knowledge of training methods specific to your needs. Training does not occur in a vacuum; what you learn in sessions can and should be applied to your everyday life and movement practices. With that in mind, understand that personal training is an investment that extends beyond our time together.

The suggested frequency of sessions varies depending on the clients’ needs and availability. If we are unable to meet for the suggested weekly frequency, I will provide you with workouts to help you continue your practice throughout the week. These workouts will require trial and error, feedback, and revisions. Therefore, our communication will need to be open and frequent regarding your workouts.

Training takes time, dedication, and evolution. Training/movement is an on-going and ever-changing practice, just as your life is. As much as we focus on your specific needs and goals, understand that results cannot be guaranteed.

Changes often take months to be realized and developed. If after time you find that the current training methods do not serve you, there are steps that we can take to address any concerns and redirect our focus. You can speak with me about what you hope to experience, and I can alter our methods, or I can refer you to another trainer.

Disclosure of Physical Conditions / Informed Consent

It is recommended that you undergo a thorough medical evaluation prior to beginning any exercise program.
