By enquiring, booking, or training with me, or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you don’t, get in touch before booking so we can talk it through.
I offer 1:1 personal training, custom programming, and ongoing coaching. None of this is medical treatment. I’m a strength and conditioning coach, not a doctor, physiotherapist, or dietitian, and nothing I provide is medical advice.
Tell me about any injuries, medical conditions, medications, surgeries, or physical limitations before we start, honestly and completely. I rely on this to program safely. Get GP clearance first if a condition could be affected by exercise, or if I ask. Tell me straight away if anything changes: new injury, surgery, pregnancy, diagnosis.
Physical training, including strength training, conditioning, and martial arts or sport-specific work, carries a real risk of injury: muscle strain, joint injury, and in rare cases something more serious. This risk exists even with a well-designed, well-coached program. Training with me means you accept this risk and confirm you’re taking part voluntarily, based on what you’ve disclosed under Section 3.
New Zealand’s Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) provides no-fault cover for personal injury, which generally replaces the right to sue for compensatory damages relating to that injury. By training with me, you acknowledge this scheme applies to any injury that may occur, and that ACC cover is the primary route for treatment and support costs rather than a claim against me. This doesn’t affect any rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986 that can’t lawfully be excluded.
Pricing is confirmed with you before you book.
[PLACEHOLDER — payment terms: paid upfront, per session, package, or another structure]
Prices may change; you’ll always know the current price before committing.
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged in full: that time is reserved for you and usually can’t be filled at short notice. Same applies in reverse. If I need to cancel, I’ll give as much notice as possible and it won’t cost you a session.
Sessions happen at partner facilities: I train there as an independent PT, not an employee of those venues. You’re also bound by each venue’s own rules and any waivers they require directly.
To the extent the law allows, I’m not liable for indirect or consequential loss from my services. Nothing here limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986 that can’t be excluded for a consumer, or your entitlements under the ACC scheme described in Section 5.
Sessions and venues should be safe and respectful. I can end a session or the coaching relationship if your behaviour is abusive, unsafe, or disrespectful toward me, other coaches, or other gym members.
Any program or plan I create for you is for your personal use only, not to be copied, resold, or shared without my permission.
Blog posts, white papers, and other content here are general information, not personal advice, and not a substitute for coaching or medical guidance. I’ve done my best to keep it accurate, but it may not apply to your situation. Links to other sites are for convenience; I’m not responsible for their content.
Either of us can end our coaching arrangement any time by telling the other.
[PLACEHOLDER — notice period or refund approach, add once payment terms above are finalised]
These terms are governed by New Zealand law, and any dispute is handled in the New Zealand courts.
