About this template
A personal training waiver is an essential document for any fitness professional or gym owner. It serves as a clear communication tool to ensure clients understand the inherent risks associated with physical exercise. By using this form, you establish a professional standard that protects your business by documenting that the client has been fully informed of potential risks and agrees to assume responsibility for their own health and safety during training sessions.
