You confirm, to the best of your knowledge, that you are able to participate safely or have sought appropriate medical advice where necessary.

Where reasonably necessary, we may use relevant information you have provided to assist in responding to an emergency or contact your nominated emergency contact. Please ensure that any emergency contact details you provide are accurate and up to date.

10. Photography and Video

Photography or video may occasionally take place during classes or events for promotional purposes. Any consent required for identifiable photographs or videos used in marketing will be handled separately where appropriate. Acknowledging this document does not, by itself, constitute consent to appear in promotional material. Please inform the instructor if you have concerns about being photographed or filmed.

11. Liability and Legal Rights

You acknowledge the inherent risks associated with physical exercise and agree to take reasonable care, follow safety instructions and inform the instructor of relevant health or safety concerns.
