AJ’S GYM – TERMS & CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP
PERSONAL HEALTH STATEMENT
Your health and wellbeing are your own responsibility. AJ’s Gym provides facilities and equipment to support physical activity, but you must decide what level of exercise is appropriate for you.
By joining the Club, you confirm that you are physically able to participate in exercise and understand that physical activity carries inherent risks.
Our Commitment to You
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Club’s equipment and facilities are maintained in a safe condition.
We will ensure that staff are appropriately qualified in line with recognised fitness industry standards.
If you inform us of a disability that places you at a substantial disadvantage in accessing the facilities, we will consider whether any reasonable adjustments can be made.
Your Commitment to Us
You must not exercise beyond your own abilities. If you have, or believe you may have, a medical condition, injury, or health concern that could affect your ability to exercise safely, you must seek advice from a qualified medical professional before using the facilities and follow that advice.
You must familiarise yourself with and comply with all Club rules, safety notices, instructions, and guidance. You acknowledge that exercise involves risk and agree not to take part in activities that are unsuitable for you.
You must inform a member of staff immediately if you feel unwell or injured while using the facilities. Staff are not medically qualified, although a trained first aider will be available.
Use of the Club’s facilities is entirely at your own risk, subject to the Club’s duty to take reasonable care.
