Participants’ Waiver

By participating, you consent to and agree to release the instructor (Sarah Edwards) from liability according to these terms. Unless notified otherwise (e.g for purchase of online classes) the terms apply to all instruction taken by you with the instructor.

You, the participant accept that:

You are over 18 years of age

You understand that Pilates instruction is a form of physical activity, and all physical activity carries risk.

For ‘live classes’ – i.e face to face, or online in ‘real time’, you have disclosed any pre-existing conditions by completing a PAR-Q Health questionnaire and where appropriate have discussed your physical activity with a medical professional.

You assume full responsibility whilst voluntarily participating in a mat or equipment class at your sole risk.

You must stop your Pilates class if feel unwell or are experiencing pain.

You understand that your instructor is operating within their professional scope as a Pilates Instructor and is not a medical professional.

If you have any enquiries of a medical nature, you should consult with your medical professional and seek their advice.

Pilates is an exercise that combines strengthening, flexibility, mobility and some limited cardio-vascular activity. There are potentially some risks in taking part, e.g. light-headedness, and assume wilfully these risks.
