Health Disclaimer, Waiver & Informed Consent

Last Updated: 4 August 2026

 

Health Disclaimer, Waiver & Informed Consent

This Health Disclaimer, Waiver & Informed Consent applies to all services provided by Baseline Performance Strength & Conditioning ("Baseline Performance", "we", "our" or "us").

By participating in any Baseline Performance service, including performance assessments, movement screening, strength and conditioning programs, online coaching, in-person coaching, exercise demonstrations, educational resources or related activities, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to the following.

 

1. Acknowledgement of Risk

I acknowledge that participation in physical activity, exercise, strength and conditioning, athletic development and sports performance training involves inherent risks.

These risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Muscle soreness

  • Sprains and strains

  • Joint injuries

  • Falls

  • Fractures

  • Concussion

  • Cardiovascular events

  • Aggravation of existing injuries

  • Illness

  • Permanent disability

  • Death

While Baseline Performance takes reasonable steps to minimise these risks through appropriate coaching and programming, no exercise program can eliminate all risks.

I voluntarily choose to participate and accept these risks.

 

2. Medical Clearance

I confirm that:

  • I am physically able to participate in exercise; or

  • I have obtained appropriate medical clearance where required.

I understand that it is my responsibility to seek advice from an appropriately qualified medical practitioner if I have any concerns regarding my ability to participate.

Baseline Performance does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.

 

3. Health Information

I declare that the health and medical information I provide is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

I agree to notify Baseline Performance immediately if:

  • my health changes;

  • I sustain an injury;

  • I develop a medical condition;

  • I commence new medication;

  • any information previously provided becomes inaccurate.

 

4. Exercise Participation

I understand that I am responsible for exercising within my own physical capabilities.

I agree to:

  • stop exercising immediately if I experience pain, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath or any unusual symptoms;

  • seek medical attention where appropriate;

  • follow coaching instructions as provided.

 

5. Online Coaching

I acknowledge that online coaching has limitations.

Baseline Performance cannot continuously supervise exercise technique when training remotely.

I accept responsibility for:

  • exercising in a safe environment;

  • using appropriate equipment;

  • following exercise instructions carefully;

  • requesting clarification where required.

 

6. Performance Assessments

I understand that performance assessments are designed to evaluate aspects of physical performance and movement quality.

Assessments:

  • are not medical examinations;

  • do not diagnose injuries or medical conditions;

  • should not replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Recommendations are based on the information available at the time of assessment.

 

7. No Guarantee of Results

I understand that athletic performance depends on many factors beyond the control of Baseline Performance.

These include:

  • training consistency;

  • nutrition;

  • recovery;

  • sleep;

  • genetics;

  • illness;

  • injury;

  • adherence to prescribed programs.

Accordingly, no guarantee of specific performance improvements or outcomes is provided.

 

8. Release of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, I release and discharge Baseline Performance Strength & Conditioning, its directors, employees, contractors and representatives from liability for any injury, illness, loss, damage or expense arising from my participation, except where liability cannot legally be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in this document excludes any rights that cannot be excluded under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or Australian Consumer Law.

 

9. Parent or Guardian Consent

Where the participant is under 18 years of age, I confirm that:

  • I am the parent or legal guardian;

  • I have authority to provide consent;

  • I have read and understood this document;

  • I consent to the participant taking part in Baseline Performance services.

 

10. Media Consent (Optional)

From time to time, Baseline Performance may take photographs or videos during coaching sessions.

These images may be used for:

  • educational resources;

  • social media;

  • website content;

  • promotional material.

Media will not be used to identify athletes by full name without additional permission.

Consent for media use may be withdrawn at any time by contacting Baseline Performance in writing.
