Optimal Performance Running Academy Registration

Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

I understand that I am purchasing group training sessions (Optimal Performance Running Academy) for my child and must read, agree to and sign this agreement where I assume the risks for participation, waive of liability, and OP Running Academy policies and procedures.

I understand that the program is voluntary and that a Certified Personal Trainer/Certified Running Coach will develop and guide my child through an exercise program. I represent that I will complete the PAR-Q and any other health history form accurately and completely on behalf of my child including disclosure of any prescribed medications he/she is taking and any exercise or diet limitations I am aware of or have been informed of by my child’s doctor. During the program if my child’s medications, condition, or medical limitations should change, I will notify the Trainer. I understand that it is recommended that my child have a yearly physical or more frequent physical examination and consultation with his/her physician as to physical activity and diet so I am aware of what is appropriate for my child. I acknowledge that my child either has had a physical exam and has been given a physician’s permission to participate or I have decided to allow my child to participate without approval of a physician.

I understand that a Trainer will review my child’s PAR-Q and any other health history form but that a Trainer is not a physician and cannot replace the advice and expertise of a qualified physician.

I understand that I have the complete right to stop or decrease my child’s exercise at any time during a session and that it is my and my child’s obligation to inform the Trainer of any symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath or chest discomfort.

I realize that participation in an exercise training program includes but is not limited to exercising, use of exercise equipment and strenuous exertion (such as strength training or high intensity aerobic activity) which will increase heart rate and body temperature.

I understand that exercise involves certain risks, including but not limited to, serious neck and spinal injuries resulting in complete or partial paralysis, heart attack, stroke or even death. Also, injuries could occur to bones, joints or muscles. Slips, falls, and unintended loss of balance could result in muscular, neurological, orthopedic or other bodily injury. I understand that part of the risk involved in undertaking any activity or program is relative to my child’s own state of fitness or health (physical, mental, or emotional) and to the awareness, care and skill which my child conducts himself/herself in that activity or program. I understand that proper form of any exercise (as described and/or demonstrated by Trainer) performed by my child is a necessary and essential component of an exercise program.

Knowing the material risks and knowing and reasonably anticipating that other injuries are a possibility, I hereby expressly assume all of the delineated risks of injury, all other possible risk of injury, and even risk of possible death, which could occur by reason of my child’s participation.

I do hereby waive, release and forever discharge Total Strength Fitness and the OP Running Academy program from any and all responsibilities or liability for any present and future injuries or damages resulting or arising from my child’s participation in any activities including but not limited to exercise, group training, or use of the equipment used within OP Running Academy. I also understand that OP Running Academy may take place in a facility not owned by Total Strength Fitness, and this facility may have its own equipment not used by Total Athlete Training. I understand that my child will not use any equipment not included in the OP Running Academy program during the time that he/she is participating in that program.

1. OP Running Academy sessions are purchased upfront and in their entirety.
2. Total Strength Fitness does not offer refunds for unused sessions by client.
3. PAR-Q, Physician Approval (if applicable), and OP Running Academy Agreement must be completed, signed, and on file prior to the beginning of the first session.
4. Training sessions will begin promptly at the time specified by OP Running Academy and end 4 hours, or other agreed upon amount of time, from that specified time.
5. I will make certain that my child arrives to training prior to the start of each training session and that my child will have a way home from training upon the immediate end of each training session.

I declare that I have read, understand and agree to the contents of this OP Running Academy Agreement in its entirety. I understand that the Assumption of Risk, Waiver of Liability, and OP Running Academy Policies and Procedures are intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the State of Minnesota and agree that if any portion is held invalid, the remainder will continue in full force and effect.
