Aldridge Personal Training Club Terms and Conditions    Membership Terms and Conditions The following information has been produced to ensure that all members are assured of a comfortable and enjoyable experience on each and every one of their visits. Although the items in this list are detailed in their nature, it is anticipated that for the majority of members there will be little or no need ever to refer to them. They do however allow the management of the centre to provide a service that we believe is second to none.  

1. Release of Liability

1.1. Client’s acknowledgement and assumption of risk and full release from liability of Aldridge Personal Training Club: client acknowledges that the training / nutritional service programs purchased hereunder includes participation in strenuous physical activities, including, but not limited to, running, weight training, stationary bicycling, gymnastic movements, various aerobic conditioning machinery and various nutritional programs offered by Aldridge Personal Training Club (the “physical activities”).  

1.2. Client acknowledges these physical activities involve the inherent risk of physical injuries or other damages, including, but not limited to, heart attacks, muscle strains, pulls or tears, broken bones, shin splints, heat exhaustion, knee/lower back/foot injuries and any other illness, soreness, or injury, however caused, occurring during or after client’s participation in the physical activities.   

1.3. Client further acknowledges that such risks include, but are not limited to, injuries caused by the negligence of an instructor or other person, defective or improperly used equipment, over-exertion of a client, slip and fall by client, or an unknown health problem of client.

1.8. Members are particularly advised not to undertake strenuous physical activities for which they might be medically unfit. Members who have any reservations as to their physical condition are advised to have a medical check- up before embarking on any exercise. The exercise programmed and facilities provided are designed with safety in mind, these are however used entirely at the members’ own risk. All members must undergo a health check and basic supervised instruction session before using the gym.

2.3. This is not an agreement for a specific number of classes, seminars, or coaching lessons during the agreed upon period.  

2.4 Rescheduling. Results come with consistency. During your first session you will agree a preferred training time/day with your coach so you can train regularly. If you cancel your appointment, with more than 24hrs notice, our coaches will endeavour to reschedule the session. However, our coaches are in high demand (because they’re great and have other clients) so unfortunately we cannot guarantee that our remaining availability will always suit your diary. Don’t risk it! Always make sure you prioritise your PT slot and attend.  

2.5 Punctuality. All sessions are meticulously planned to the minute by your coach. Ensure you arrive on time to gain the most from every session.  

2.6 Cancellation of sessions. A minimum of 24hrs notice is required for all cancellations. Cancellations with less than 24hrs notice will be charged in full. Although we appreciate extenuating circumstances may occur, this strict policy is in place as late cancellations prevent your coach from using your slot for another client; leading to a loss of income.  

2.7 Communication. Most of our coaches use their phones to communicate with clients about up and coming appointments. Coaches will respond to clients by the end of the working day (6pm) or before 12pm the following day. Our coaching team often have other commitments and family outside of work and we therefore respectfully request you do not message or call between 8pm-8am.

31 COVID19

31.1 As viruses can live on a surface outside the human body for several hours, gym equipment is a prime culprit for picking up an illness  

31.2 People should avoid the gym if they’re not feeling well - coronavirus or not   

31.3 he most effective way of preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the gym, or any other virus for that matter, is for people who aren’t feeling well to simply skip their gym session and stay at home until they’re sure it’s not coronavirus.   

31.4 If a person is feeling a bit sniffly and can’t work out whether it’s spring allergies or something more sinister you will not be allowed to come into the gym.  

31.5 Coughs and sneezes can spread droplets much further than you might think (up to 8 metres) and those droplets can remain in the air a good while afterwards  

31.6 Anyone with the virus who coughs, sneezes or wipes their nose on their sweaty hand or arm can pass the virus from their mucus into their sweat and spread it that way. Which goes back to the point that you shouldn’t be in the gym in the first place if you’re feeling under the weather.  

31.7 Simply wiping the handles and surfaces won’t make a difference. To eliminate any droplets containing the virus, it’s essential that we use universal cleaning wipes that have antibacterial and antiviral properties.  

31.8 Most hand sanitisers including those alcohol based can be helpful as they have anti- viral properties as well, but they should never be a substitute for good- old fashioned hand washing.  

31.9 To stay protected, regularly wash your hands with soap for around 20 seconds
31.10 If you feel the slightest onset of any symptoms, you should be isolating yourself at home - certainly not heading down the gym. More broadly, at this point you should be avoiding going out as far as is possible. You could be a risk to others, and your own, health.
