Last updated 16 August 2026
By signing up for coaching with Boost Fitness ("we", "us", "our"), you acknowledge and agree to the following:
Personal training, exercise programming, and physical fitness activity carry an inherent risk of injury. This includes, but is not limited to: muscle strains, sprains, joint injuries, cardiovascular events, and in rare cases, more serious injury. No exercise programme can eliminate this risk entirely.
You confirm that you have truthfully and completely disclosed your medical history, current injuries, medications, and any condition that may affect your ability to exercise safely, via the PAR-Q health screening and medical intake process. You understand that Boost Fitness relies on this information to design a programme appropriate to your health status, and that incomplete or inaccurate disclosure increases your risk. You agree to inform your coach immediately of any new injury, medical diagnosis, medication change, or physical limitation that arises after you begin training with us.
Where our screening process flags a medical condition requiring clearance, you understand that your programme will not proceed, or will be modified, until that clearance is obtained. You agree to seek medical advice before beginning or continuing training if you experience pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptom during exercise, and to stop the activity immediately if this occurs. If you tell us you are pregnant, have had a baby in the last 12 months, are breastfeeding, or have Type 1 diabetes, you may confirm in the app that your own doctor or midwife has cleared you to exercise, and that you have read the stop signs we show you. Boost Fitness relies on that confirmation and does not ask to see a doctor's note. You are responsible for having that clearance, for following any limits your doctor or midwife gives you, and for stopping and getting help straight away if any of the stop signs happen. If anything changes, update your health answers in the app before you continue training. A heart condition, or a health screening answer about chest pain, dizziness or balance, blood pressure or heart medication, or any other reason, is still reviewed by your coach before your programme begins.
You voluntarily choose to participate in the training and nutrition programme provided by Boost Fitness, understanding the risks described above. You assume full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage you may sustain as a result of your participation, except where such injury, loss, or damage is caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Boost Fitness or its coaches.
Your training programme, progress reports, and related content may be drafted using an artificial intelligence system, based on the information you provide. For Full Coaching and Premium Coaching, this draft is always reviewed and edited by a qualified coach before it reaches you; other tiers are delivered on a fully automated basis. You acknowledge that AI-drafted content, like any coaching output, can occasionally contain an error, and that the same responsibilities set out in this waiver apply equally to AI-generated content as to any other part of your programme.
Because Boost Fitness delivers coaching online, your coach is not physically present to observe your form, environment, or immediate physical state during a session. You acknowledge that: you are responsible for exercising in a safe environment, free of hazards; you are responsible for using equipment that is in safe working condition; you will stop any exercise immediately if it causes pain beyond normal exertion; and video demonstrations and written instructions are a guide, you are responsible for adapting or stopping an exercise if your own body signals it is not appropriate for you in the moment.
To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, you indemnify and hold harmless Boost Fitness, David Thornhill, and any coach or contractor associated with Boost Fitness, against any claim, loss, damage, or expense arising from your participation in the programme, except where caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
By proceeding, you confirm that: you have read and understood this waiver in full; you have had the opportunity to ask questions before agreeing; you are voluntarily agreeing to its terms; and you are 18 years or older, or you are 16-17 and your parent/guardian has confirmed their consent per our Minors Policy.
