This template gives you everything you need for a professional, customizable and legally binding Release Personal Training Agreement.
It releases the trainer and gym from liability for injuries that might occur during training sessions. Acknowledges that exercise involves inherent risks and that you're participating voluntarily despite those risks.
Exercise-related injuries, equipment malfunctions, heart conditions that might be triggered by exercise, accidents in the gym facility, and injuries from improper form or overexertion. Should be comprehensive but reasonable.
Generally yes, but they can't protect against gross negligence or intentional harm. The release must be clearly written and the person must understand what risks they're accepting. Some states limit how broad these releases can be.
