Liability Waiver & Health Disclaimer
Important: By purchasing a Pass and entering the premises of The Train Station Gym, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted the contents of this waiver. A paper copy will be presented at the front desk on your first visit and must be signed before you train.
1. Voluntary participation
I acknowledge that participation in any training, conditioning or coached activity at The Train Station Gym is voluntary. I am taking part of my own free will and not under duress, and I have the legal capacity to do so.
2. Inherent risk
I acknowledge that resistance training, conditioning, group exercise and personal training carry inherent risks, including but not limited to muscular strains, joint injury, fractures, dropped or mishandled weights, slips and falls, and in rare cases serious or life-threatening events such as cardiac events. I accept these risks as a normal part of physical activity.
3. Health declaration (PAR-Q)
I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, I am in adequate health to undertake exercise. In particular, I confirm that I:
- have no known cardiovascular, respiratory or metabolic condition that would make exercise unsafe without medical supervision; or
- have been cleared by a qualified medical practitioner to undertake the level of activity I have selected; and
- will inform a member of staff if any of the above changes during the period of my Pass.
I will complete the gym's Pre-Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) at the front desk on my first visit, and update it if my circumstances change.
4. Use of equipment
I will use all equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the reasonable directions of the gym's staff. I will warm up appropriately, train within my own capacity, and ask for a coach's help if I am not familiar with a piece of equipment.
5. Personal property
I understand that PHOENIX COACHING SYSTEMS LIMITED does not accept liability for personal property left in lockers, on the gym floor, or anywhere on the premises, save where loss is caused by the gym's negligence.
6. Limitation
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except in respect of death, personal injury or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law, I release PHOENIX COACHING SYSTEMS LIMITED, its officers, employees, contractors and coaches from liability in respect of any injury, loss or damage sustained while I am on the premises or participating in any of the gym's services, where such injury, loss or damage was not caused by the gym's negligence.
7. Right of refusal
The gym may, at its absolute discretion and without refund, refuse entry, suspend a Pass or remove from the premises any individual whose conduct, intoxication, or apparent state of health gives rise to a reasonable concern for their own safety or the safety of other members or staff.
8. Photography & filming
I will not film or photograph other members or staff without their explicit consent. The gym may use general photography of the floor for marketing purposes; if I do not wish to be included in such material, I will inform the front desk in writing.
9. Governing law
This waiver is governed by the laws of England & Wales.
