HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE
We want your time with us to be safe and enjoyable. To ensure you are in an appropriate state of health to start a programme of training with us you will be asked some health questions as part of the application process.
- If you answer YES to any of the questions you must consult your doctor to ensure it is safe for you to train with us. This must be done before we can accept your membership.
- If you honestly answered NO to all the questions we can all be reasonably confident that it is safe for you to train with us.
- If your answer is DON’T KNOW to any of the questions, you must seek advice from your doctor. We will be able to accept your membership after you tell us that your doctor says it is safe to train.
- If your health changes at anytime so that you would answer YES to any of the questions, you must inform your coach, cease training immediately and consult your doctor regarding whether it is safe to begin training again.
