Personal Training Terms & Conditions
Personal Training sessions will last 60 minutes unless otherwise agreed before each session by both parties.
The Trainer will create an exercise program geared to the Client’s fitness level and experience in order to meet the Client’s objectives.
The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Firefly Pilates and Sam Moore for any injuries, illnesses, and the like experienced as the result of the Client’s Training Sessions.
While Sam Moore of Firefly Pilates fully believes exercise, specifically personalized to the Client, is beneficial to the Client’s health and wellness, the Company and its Trainer cannot guarantee the results of Training Sessions. Firefly Pilates makes no representations and/or warranties that the Client will lose weight, gain muscle mass, be able to engage in any specific physical and/or athletic activity, or will attain any other particular and/or specific results. Sam Moore strongly encourages the Client to follow a healthy diet in conjunction with the training program.
The Client agrees to sign the provided PAR-Q form and update it when any health or personal information changes.
Training sessions may include, but are not limited to, the following activities; taking physical measurements, reading oxygen levels, taking blood pressure, testing of physical fitness; exercise; aerobics and aerobic conditioning; massage and soft tissue mobilisation; cardiovascular training; resistance training on the mat or the Pilates Reformer; discussing diet, and stretching.
The Client shall provide twenty-four (24) hour notice of any necessary cancellation of a scheduled Training Session. Failure to provide twenty-four (24) hour notice shall result in the Client being charged the full rate for the cancelled/missed Training Session.
Sam Moore, Firefly Pilates, will endeavour to also provide the Client twenty-four (24) hour notice of any scheduled Training session that may need to be cancelled; however, there may be instances where this is not practicable, and such would not constitute breach of this Contract on behalf of the Company.
Clients arriving late will receive the remaining scheduled session time, unless other arrangements have been previously made with Sam Moore.
Should you choose to purchase a pack of sessions in bulk, the expiration policy requires completion of all personal training sessions within 3 months from the date of initial purchase. Personal training sessions are void after this time period and a refund will not be given.
No personal training refunds will be issued for any reason, including but not limited to relocation, illness, and unused sessions.
The Company and the Trainer declare and confirm that it is the intention of the parties that the Trainer shall have the status of a self-employed person and shall be responsible for all income tax liabilities and national insurance or similar contributions in respect of his or her fees and accordingly the Trainer hereby agrees to indemnify the Company in respect of any claims that may be made by the relevant authorities against the Company in respect of income tax and national insurance or similar contributions relating to the Services under this Agreement.
Firefly Pilates will take out and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement, Public Liability Insurance coverage (minimum £5 million cover) with an insurance office of repute to protect themselves against any liabilities arising out of this Agreement.
COVID-19
During face-to-face training appointments clients understand the following:
They understand that following a COVID-19 infection, they have to be completely free from symptoms for at least 7 days and have had a negative test result before returning to exercise. After a recent COVID-19 infection, Firefly Pilates may ask me to provide an “approval for exercise” form from my Doctor. Clients understand that my session plan may have to be adapted according to my physical abilities and strengths. COVID-19 can impact my physical health in many ways and I accept that I may need to return to exercise in phases. This may include half hour sessions instead of a full hour.
If the client or anyone in their household has experienced a fever, shortness of breath, loss of sense of taste or smell & dry cough within the last 14 days, they will not attend Firefly training sessions until they can prove a negative test result.
If the client has been in close contact with anyone with confirmed COVID-19 they will not attend Firefly training sessions until such time that a negative test result is shown.
