I.
Fitness
Testing
Fitness testing is optional.
The purpose of the fitness
testing program is to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition,
flexibility, and muscular strength and endurance. The cardiorespiratory fitness
test involves a submaximal test that may include a bench step test or one-mile
walk test. Flexibility is determined by the sit-and-reach test. Muscular
endurance may be determined by a push-up or bent-knee sit-up test.
II.
Exercise
I desire to engage voluntarily
in an exercise program designed by Destination Fitness LLC in order to attempt
to improve my physical fitness. I understand that the activities are designed to
place a gradually increasing workload on the cardiorespiratory system and
thereby attempt to improve its fitness. The reaction of the cardiorespiratory
system to such activities cannot be predicted with complete accuracy. There is
a risk of certain changes that might occur during or following exercise. These
changes might include abnormalities of blood pressure or heart rate.
I understand that the purpose of
the exercise program is to develop and maintain cardiorespiratory fitness, by
body composition, flexibility and muscular strength and endurance. A specific
exercise plan will be given to me, based on my needs and interests and my
doctors recommendations. All exercise programs include warm-up, exercise at
target heart rate and cool down. The programs may involve walking, jogging,
swimming, or cycling; participation in exercise fitness, rhythmic aerobic
exercise; or calisthenics or strength training. All programs are designed to
place a gradually increased workload on the body tin order to improve overall
fitness. The rate of progression is regulated by exercising to a target heart
rate and rate of perceived exertion.
I affirm that I am responsible for monitoring my own
condition throughout the tests and/or exercise program, and should any unusual
symptoms occur, I will cease my participation and inform my instructor on the
symptoms.
In signing this consent form, I affirm that I have read
this form in its entirety and that I understand the description of the tests
and their components. I also affirm that my questions regarding the
fitness-testing program have been answered to my satisfaction.
In the event that a medical clearance must be obtained
prior to my participation in the fitness-testing program, I agree to consult my
physician and obtain written permission from my physician prior to beginning
any fitness testing.
Also, in consideration for being allowed to participate
in the fitness training and/or exercise program, I agree to assume the risk of
such testing or exercise, and further agree to hold harmless Destination
Fitness LLC while conducting such testing and/or exercise program from any and
all claims, suits, losses, or related causes of action for damages, including,
but not limited to, such claims that may result from injury or death, accidental
or otherwise, during, or arising in any way from the testing or exercise
program.
