1. PURPOSE AND EXPLANATION OF PROCEDURE:  I hereby consent to voluntarily engage in an acceptable plan of personal fitness coaching. I also give consent to be placed in personal fitness coaching program activities which are recommended to me for improvement of dietary counseling, stress management, and health/fitness education activities. The levels of exercise I perform will be based upon my cardiorespiratory (heart and lungs) and muscular fitness. I understand that I may be required to undergo a graded exercise test prior to the start of my personal fitness coaching program in order to evaluate and assess my present level of fitness.  I will be given exact personal instructions regarding the amount and kind of exercise I should do.   A fitness coach will provide leadership to direct my activities, monitor my performance, and otherwise evaluate my effort. Depending upon my health status, I may or may not be required to have my blood pressure and heart rate evaluated during these sessions to regulate my exercise within desired limits. I understand that I am expected to attend every session and to follow instructions with regard to exercise, stress management, and other health and fitness regarded programmes.  If I am taking prescribed medications, I have already so informed my fitness coach and further agree to so inform them promptly of any changes which my doctor or I have made with regard to use of these. I will be given the opportunity for periodic assessment and evaluation at regular intervals after the start of the programme.  I have been informed that during my participation in the above described personal fitness coaching programme, I will be asked to complete the physical activities unless symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort or similar occurrences appear.   At this point, I have been advised that it is my complete right to decrease or stop exercise and that it is my obligation to inform the fitness coach of my symptoms, should any develop.  I understand that during the performance of exercise, a fitness coach will periodically monitor my performance and, perhaps measuring my pulse, blood pressure, or assess my feelings of effort for the purposes of monitoring my progress. I also understand that the fitness coach may reduce or stop my exercise programme when any of these findings so indicate that this should be done for my safety and benefit.  I also understand that during the performance of my personal fitness coaching program physical touching and positioning of my body may be necessary to assess my muscular and bodily reactions to specific exercises, as well as to ensure that I am using proper technique and body alignment. I expressly consent to the physical contact for the stated reasons above.  Please click 'I agree' below to agree to these terms. *
2. RISKS:  It is my understanding and I have been informed that there exists the remote possibility during exercise of adverse changes including, but not limited to, abnormal blood pressure, fainting, dizziness, disorders of heart rhythm, and in very rare instances heart attack, stroke, or even death.  I further understand and I have been informed that there exists the risk of bodily injury including, but not limited to, injuries to the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints of the body. Every effort, I have been told, will be made to minimize these occurrences by proper assessments of my condition before each fitness coaching session, coach supervision during exercise and by my own careful control of exercise efforts. I fully understand the risks associated with exercise, including the risk of bodily injury, heart attack, stroke or even death, but knowing these risks, it is my desire to participate as herein indicated.  Please click 'I agree' below to agree to these terms. *
3. BENEFITS TO BE EXPECTED AND ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE TO EXERCISE:  I understand that this program may or may not benefit my physical fitness or general health. I recognize that involvement in the fitness coaching sessions will allow me to learn proper ways to perform conditioning exercises, use fitness equipment and regulate physical effort. These experiences should benefit me by indicating how my physical limitations may affect my ability to perform various physical activities. I further understand that if I closely follow the program instructions, that I will likely improve my exercise capacity and fitness level after a period of 3-6 months.  Please click 'I agree' below to agree to these terms. *
