Medical History

There are many health benefits to be gained from regular physical activity, however there are some safety factors to consider before increasing your level of activity.  It may be necessary to seek medical advice from your doctor before beginning a new exercise programme.

If you need any clarification, or have any questions, please ask your instructor.

Please answer the following questions:

Have you ever been diagnosed with any of the following medical conditions?

Have you suffered any of the following:

Do you ever experience chest pain during physical activity?

In the last month, have you experienced any chest pain whilst not physically active?

Do you suffer with any joint or bone conditions (including spinal problems) that might be made worse by physical activity?

Are you taking any prescribed medication?

Are you pregnant, or have you given birth in the last three months?

Do you have any symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (e.g. loss of urinary control, a sensation of pressure in your vagina or rectum) or prolapse?

Have you had surgery within the last 3 years?

If you answered yes to any of the medical questions (1-10) your Personal Trainer may defer your session until written medical clearance is provided by your doctor.
