Medical form

I understand that the Pilates program will begin at a low level and will be advanced in stages depending on my fitness level. I understand and agree that the instructor or I can stop the exercise at any time if I am experiencing symptoms of fatigue or discomfort or at risk of injury. (Pain is the body's warning system and should not be ignored. Please inform your instructor if you feel any discomfort during or after a session)*

I understand that there is a risk associated with undertaking any exercise program. I understand (a) while every care will be taken it is impossible to predict the body's exact response to the exercise and (b) every effort will be made to minimise these risks by evaluation of preliminary information relating to the questionnaire and by observation of technique during exercises *

I understand that my Pilates program is not a substitute for medical counselling or treatment, (if you have any doubts about the suitability to the exercises you should refer back to your health care professional). I understand that LYC Pilates requires written consent from a health care professional before attending and have provided this truthfully*

I understand that the program will be specifically designed as a personal training plan to aid recovery based on the knowledge and experience of a level 3 qualified Pilates instructor and will take into account details given in my questionnaire and on initial assessment. I understand this program should only be undertaken during sessions observed by my instructor, not on my own at home and if done so at my own risk. *

I have not withheld any information that may be significant or relevant. I undertake to advise my instructor at LYC Pilates of any significant changes to my health and present condition, including injury and surgery. I accept full responsibility for my own body and to stop exercising if I need to. I consent to exercising at my own risk and that LYC Pilates and its instructors can accept no liability for personal injury related to participation if (a) your doctor has advised you against an exercise) (b) you fail to observe instructions on safety or technique, (c) undertaking Pilates exercises whilst suffering from an injury or ailment of which I have not informed LYC Pilates or the instructor, (d) Pilates exercises I perform outside of a supervised Pilates session, (e) any injury sustained while on the premises resulting from personal inattentivenes *
