Personal Training Contract

The liability waiver is the most important part of the personal training contract. DON'T TRAIN ANYBODY WITHOUT ONE!

Sorry for shouting, but it is really important. You can lose everything. I won't even train my friends or family without having them sign my personal training contract. If they give me a hard time, I usually play it off as being important to practice consistency in my business. But they know that I am just protecting myself.

Legal Concerns

The personal training contract waiver of liability is an important legal document. It is designed to protect your interests. Don't cut corners!

But first I have to cover my back side...
