Welcome! I am delighted that you are considering training with me as a part of your commitment to health and fitness. I'm here to provide you with the necessary information and motivation to help you reach and maintain your personal fitness goals. The following information will provide you with important program policies. Before getting started, please read and sign this form so that I can be sure that you have been provided with and understand this information.

Trainer Diego's Personal Training Policies:

  • All forms including Exercise History and Attitude Questionnaire, Physical Activity Profile, Lifestyle Information Form, Health History Form, PAR-Q and Policies and Liability Release must be filled out and signed prior to the start of the first personal training session/orientation.
  • Training sessions will begin promptly at the time specified by client and trainer. Payment will be made prior to session. Please be on time in order to make full use of the training session. Each training session is 50 minutes to one hour in length unless otherwise agreed upon between the client and the trainer.
  • Cancellations: In order to cancel or reschedule an appointment, you must contact me at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment or you will be charged for that session. (NOTE: any exception to this policy will be made purely at the discretion of the trainer.) Similarly, if I do not contact you at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule an appointment, you will receive one complimentary session.
  • All clients are encouraged to be prompt. If the client is 10 minutes late or more for a session this time will be deducted from it. If possible, the trainer will attempt to complete the entire session if his schedule allows it. If the trainer arrives late, the amount of time will be added for an extended session. Please be advised that after waiting 15 minutes for a scheduled client, the session is subject to cancellation and clients will be charged for a full session.
  • I do not offer refunds or credits, so please be sure that my services will match your needs before committing through payment. If you find that your needs change once you have begun this program, please let me know; I am eager to find a way to accommodate you training needs.
  • Injury: You are fully responsible for any injury you incur before, during, or after workouts. The trainer will not be held accountable in any manner, legal or otherwise. Any injury incurred before, during, or after workout sessions is solely the responsibility of the client. Focusing during your workout and following directions will help prevent any injury. It's the client's responsibility to communicate any symptoms or discomfort during the session.
  • No verbal agreement can alter or change the conditions of this agreement in any part.
