This form must be read, understood, accurately completed, and signed prior to participation in any ABC activity.
If you are under 18 years of age (“Minor”), a parent or legal guardian over 18 must sign on your behalf and provide their contact details.

Participation in ABC activities is by payment and at ABC’s discretion. By participating, you accept these Terms & Conditions, Rules, and Regulations, including the obligation to participate safely and respectfully.

2. Rules and Conduct
I agree to:

  • Conduct myself courteously and respectfully toward ABC’s instructors, staff, and other participants.

  • Follow all instructions regarding the proper performance of exercises, including timing, technique, and location.

  • Respect the safety and comfort of others at all times.

ABC screens all clients to reduce the risk of injury or illness. I confirm that I have:

  • Read, understood, and completed ABC’s Medical Questionnaire to the best of my knowledge.

  • Disclosed all pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, or symptoms that may affect participation.

I warrant that I (or my Minor) am physically fit to participate in ABC activities, including Pilates Equipment Studio, Reformer Pilates Classes, and Gyrotonic & Gyrokinesis Methods, without undue risk of injury or illness.

I understand it is my responsibility to:

  • Exercise at a pace appropriate to my ability.

  • Immediately inform the instructor of any discomfort, pain, or uncertainty regarding any exercise.

  • Stop participation if experiencing symptoms that could indicate a medical concern.

4. Assumption of Risk
I acknowledge that ABC activities carry inherent risks, including:

  • Minor or moderate injuries (e.g., strains, sprains, aggravation of pre-existing conditions).

  • Serious injury, permanent disability, or death (e.g., heart attack triggered by an unknown medical condition during vigorous activity).

I voluntarily, knowingly, and fully accept and assume all such risks for myself and/or my Minor.

5. Medical Clearance
I warrant that I (or my Minor) have been examined by a qualified medical practitioner within the past six (6) months and have been cleared to participate in the activities.

If medical clearance has not been obtained, I knowingly recognize, accept, and assume the heightened risk of new or further injury, illness, or aggravation of any existing condition.

6. Waiver of Liability and Indemnity
I acknowledge that ABC, its Directors, instructors, employees, contractors, agents, and nominees:

  • Shall not be liable for any injury, illness, loss, damage, or other incident arising directly or indirectly from participation.

  • Are not responsible for diagnosing, treating, or managing any medical condition beyond instruction in the Exercise Methods.

  • Are not liable for loss, damage, theft, or unauthorized use of personal property brought onto or used during participation.

I hereby:

  • Release, waive, and discharge ABC and its representatives from any claims, liabilities, actions, suits, costs, or expenses.

  • Indemnify ABC and its representatives against any claims brought by third parties resulting from my or my Minor’s participation.

This waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted under Australian law. ABC’s total liability is limited to a refund of fees paid for the activity.

7. Instruction and Scope
I understand that ABC provides instruction only in the Exercise Methods and associated theory. ABC is not responsible for medical advice, therapy, or personal training outside the scope of the activity.

8. Legal Acknowledgment
I have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to this Consent, Waiver, and Terms of Participation. I understand that this is a legally binding document, that by signing I may waive certain legal rights (including the right to sue), and I assume all risks involved for myself and/or my Minor.
