I acknowledge that I am participating in Pilates classes offered by my teacher Julie Roberts (trading as Ostara Pilates & it’s memberships site, The Lifetonic Club), where I will receive information and instruction about Pilates, physical exercise and health. I am fully aware that the class/routine requires physical exertion which may cause physical injury, I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved.

 

It is inadvisable to do Pilates between weeks 8 to 14 of pregnancy, unless by special arrangement with your teacher. It is also recommended to wait at least six weeks after a natural birth before resuming exercise and medical clearance to return to exercise is essential. The Lifetonic Club Pilates routines are not specifically tailored for pre or post-natal Pilates or specific conditions unless specified. Pilates exercises are very safe but, as with all forms of physical exercise, it is prudent to consult your doctor before starting sessions. It is recommended that you consult with a physician before starting a new exercise program and follow their safety recommendations.

 

These sessions are not a substitute for medical counselling or treatment. If you have any doubts about the suitability of the exercises, you should refer back to your medical practitioner.

Exercise should be performed at a pace which feels comfortable for you.

 

With this knowledge, I confirm that I am making a voluntary choice to participate and engage in the class/routine and accept all and any risk associated with my decision to participate. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and have no medical condition that would prevent my full participation in these Pilates classes. By taking class with Julie Roberts, (trading as Ostara Pilates & her membership The Lifetonic Club), virtually, in person or via her content online, you understand and agree that Julie Roberts has no liability to you for any injury or loss you may suffer in connection with any Pilates session.

 

The use of any information provided by Julie Roberts is solely at your own risk.
