Quick yes/no health screening so we can train you safely today. Answer honestly. If you answer YES to anything, tell the coach before class — they’ll adapt the session for you. Health data is special category data under UK GDPR Art. 9 — we’ll ask for your explicit consent below.

1 · Participant Agreement & Liability Waiver
IMPORTANT — Please read carefully
Nothing in this agreement excludes the club’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence (Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 s.2(1); Consumer Rights Act 2015 s.65(1)).
1. Nature of the activity
Kickboxing fitness classes may include cardiovascular warm-up, conditioning, technique instruction, pad work, bag work, partner drills, controlled contact sparring (intermediate/advanced only — no sparring in your trial class), and cool-down stretching.
2. Voluntary assumption of inherent risk
I acknowledge that kickboxing carries inherent risks that cannot be entirely eliminated, including: bruising, abrasions and soft tissue injuries; muscle strains, sprains and tears; fractures and dislocations; concussion and other head injuries; dental injuries; eye injuries; joint injuries; cardiovascular events (especially with undisclosed conditions); skin infections; and, rarely, serious or permanent injury.
2.2 I have read and understood the list of inherent risks above and voluntarily choose to participate. 2.3 This does not affect the club’s duty of care or liability for negligence. 2.4 I understand the principle of volenti non fit injuria: injury arising from inherent risk (not negligence) is a consequence of my own decision to take part.
3. Health declaration
3.1 I have completed the health screening on the previous step honestly and completely. 3.2 If I answered YES to any question, I will speak to the coach before class and obtain GP clearance if asked to. 3.3 I’ll inform an instructor immediately if my health changes. 3.4 Providing false health information may increase my risk; the club is not responsible for injuries resulting from undisclosed conditions.
4. Participant obligations and club rules
4.1 Follow all instructor instructions including stop/modify/withdraw. 4.2 Wear required protective equipment as directed (loaner gloves and shin guards provided free). 4.3 No sparring in the trial class. 4.4 No alcohol, recreational drugs, or impairing substances. 4.5 Stop and inform the instructor if you feel unwell. 4.6 Treat all participants with respect — aggressive or harmful behaviour will result in removal. 4.7 No attending with contagious skin conditions; cover open wounds. 4.8 Remove jewellery before training.
5. Limitation of liability
5.1 Nothing excludes negligence liability. 5.2 The club isn’t liable for loss of personal property unless caused by negligence; we don’t provide secure storage. 5.3 We aren’t liable for injuries caused by your failure to follow rules, disclose health conditions, or safety instructions. 5.4 No exclusion of liability under the Occupiers’ Liability Acts 1957/1984.
6. Club’s responsibilities
6.1 Public liability insurance £5,000,000 minimum. 6.2 Instructors hold Level 2+ qualifications, current first-aid certificate, Enhanced DBS check. 6.3 Risk assessment completed under MHSWR 1999 reg. 3. 6.4 First-aid trained person + stocked first-aid kit at every session. 6.5 Equipment inspected before use.
