I understand that participation in training activities involves a certain degree of risk and can be physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding or can even lead to death. I also understand that participation in these activities is entirely voluntary and requires participants to abide by applicable rules and standards of conduct.

Risk Factors

Based on the vast experience of the medical community, Urban Women Fitness has identified the following risk factors that may limit your participation in training.

  • Excessive body weight
  • Heart trouble or Heart disease (e.g., CHF, CAD, MI)
  • Stroke/TIA
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Diabetes
  • Epilepsy or Seizures
  • Lung/respiratory disease
  • Asthma or breathing problems
  • Allergies/anaphylaxis
  • Fainting spells or dizziness
  • Muscular/skeletal injuries
  • Psychiatric/psychological and emotional difficulties
If you have any of the above conditions we recommend that you seek the advice of your medical doctor before starting training. If you choose to train then when knowing you have a medical condition then this is your personal choice and responsibility. Similarly, if at any stage your details change, then it is your responsibility to complete a new form, which are available on request.

Known Risks From Training Include

  • Injury from dropping weighted items such as logs or stones
  • Injury from walking, running, crawling barefoot and barehanded i.e. sharp objects, needles, glass, metal.
  • Injury from climbing on trees and boulders.
  • Injury from throwing, catching, lifting, pulling, pushing – branches, logs, stones and boulders.

Cuts and open wounds If you cut yourself during training with a sharp or unknown object it is recommended that you have a tetanus jab. Tetanus is caused by infection with Clostridium tetani bacteria. These bacteria can enter your body through a wound or cut in your skin. They are often found in soil and manure. Similarly, you are at risk if you arrive at training with an existing cut or open wound. For more information visit the NHS website.
