The role of my Health Coach is not to prescribe or provide health care, medical care or to diagnose or treat any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body.
The Coach is a mentor, trained in motivational interviewing, to help me reach my personal health goals.
The Coach is not acting in the capacity of a doctor, psychologist or other licensed therapist.
I should discuss any dietary or prescription medication changes with my doctor.
It is my understanding and I have been informed that there exists the remote possibility during exercise of adverse changes including, but not limited to, abnormal blood pressure, fainting, dizziness, disorders of heart rhythm, and in very rare instances heart attack, stroke, or even death. I further understand and I have been informed that there exists the risk of bodily injury including, but not limited to, injuries to the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints of the body.
Every effort, I have been told, will be made to minimize these occurrences by proper staff assessments of my condition before each personal fitness training session, staff supervision during exercise and by my own careful control of exercise efforts.
I fully understand the risks associated with exercise, including the risk of bodily injury, heart attack, stroke or even death, but knowing these risks, it is my desire to participate as herein indicated.
I understand that this program may or may not benefit my physical fitness or general health.
I recognize that involvement in the personal fitness training sessions will allow me to learn proper ways to perform conditioning exercises, use fitness equipment and regulate physical effort. These experiences should benefit me by indicating how my physical limitations may affect my ability to perform various physical activities.
I further understand that if I closely follow the program instructions, that I will likely improve my exercise capacity and fitness level after a period of 3-6 months.
