Terms and Conditions for
Personal Training and Classes
Introduction
Your agreement is with Max Ivens, your personal trainer, who delivers your training.
These Terms and Conditions form part of your agreement with the Trainer. You understand that the Trainer is self-employed and that you are entering into a contract with him alone.
Your instructions to commence personal training will constitute acceptance of these Terms and Conditions when you will become a client (a “Client” or “you”). You are asked to pay special attention to the provisions related to cancellations. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Trainer’s Obligations
The Trainer will use his skills and knowledge to design a safe program of exercises that will take into account your lifestyle, personal goals, fitness levels and medical history.
The Trainer will provide the coaching, supervision, advice and support that you will need to achieve your goals. Apart from the initial consultation (and the first personal training session if taken immediately afterwards) each personal training session will last approximately 60 minutes unless otherwise agreed (a “Private Session”).
The Trainer will provide instruction, advice, supervision and support needed within a group setting (“Group Session”). Each class will last around 50 minutes, unless otherwise stated.
You understand that the results of any fitness program cannot be guaranteed. Your progress depends on your effort and co-operation in and outside of the Sessions. You acknowledge that individual results may vary and that no particular result is guaranteed by your Trainer.
Your Obligations
It is understood between you and the Trainer that both must commit to your training program 100% in order for you to achieve results.
You are required to arrive on time for each Session so that the Trainer’s full training plan is achieved on each visit.
You are required to wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
You are required to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (a “PARQ”) before undertaking your first personal training session.
Your Trainer may require a letter of ‘medical clearance’ from your GP. Please be aware that your GP may charge for providing this letter.
You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to inform the Trainer of any conditions or changes to your health, now and ongoing, which might affect your ability to exercise safely and with minimal risk of injury.
If your Trainer requires further medical information from a practitioner, you must provide such details.
You understand that there are inherent risks in participating in a program of strenuous exercise. If you sustain or claim to sustain any injury while participating in training, you acknowledge that the Trainer is not responsible, except where the injury was caused by his gross negligence or intentional act.
Your Trainer cannot be held liable in any way for undeclared or unknown medical conditions.
If you bring children or minors to the Sessions they remain your responsibility throughout and the Trainer cannot be held liable.
Cancellation and Refunds
24 hours’ notice of cancellation or postponement is required for all appointments. Notice of less than 24 hours will incur full payment of the full Session/Class fee. Once purchased, your Sessions are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Lateness Policy
If the client is late for the Session, it cannot be extended and will end at the appointed time. If the Trainer is late, additional time will be added to the Session or to subsequent Sessions/Classes.
Health and Safety
Your Trainer has completed and holds a current certificate for emergency first aid approved by the Belgian Red Cross.
If your Trainer conducts the Sessions/Classes on your premises you are responsible for providing a safe exercise environment.
General
You understand that in the unlikely event of your Trainer being unable to continue your training, for any reason, you can request a full refund from your Trainer for any unfulfilled Series of Sessions.
The Trainer has the right to change these Terms and Conditions, for example, to be able to offer new services or as required by law. The Trainer will notify you of any change. When such a change(s) is made, if dissatisfied you can cancel this agreement once you have made any payments already due to the Trainer.
You are responsible for keeping all your contact information and marketing preferences up to date with the Trainer. In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), the Trainer will only do what you ask him to do, or what you have given him permission to do with any personal or sensitive information held about you. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
Your training may be filmed or pictures taken for marketing purposes. Your participation in a Session means you consent to photography, filming and sound recording which may include you as a Client and its use in commercial distribution without payment or copyright.
This agreement is governed by the laws of Belgium and is subject to the jurisdiction of the court of first instance of Mechelen/Belgium.
