I understand that the trainers at Postpartum Fit 2283 are under no circumstances, to be seen as medical professionals. We can not offer medical advice around core and pelvic floor conditions and dysfunctions. These will need to be assessed and supported by someone like a Women’s Health Physiotherapist or medical professional whom you feel comfortable seeing and seeking support from.


I understand that the training may involve weightlifting, gymnastics movements, strenuous bodyweight exercises and other high-exertion activities, and that I am not obligated to perform nor participate in any activity that I do not wish to do, and that it is my right to refuse such participation at any time during my training session. I understand that should I feel light-headed, faint, dizzy, nauseated, or experience pain or discomfort, I am to stop the activity and inform my trainer.

I willingly assume full responsibility for the risks that I am exposing myself to and accept full responsibility for any injury or death that may result from participation in any activity or class while at, or under the direction of Postpartum Fit 2283.

I am aware that this agreement is ongoing and will apply to all future occasions I participate in athletic activities and training with Postpartum Fit 2283. I acknowledge that I have no physical impairments, injuries, or illnesses that will endanger me or others.
