General statement of program
Objectives and Procedures:

Group exercise training and Personal training:
I understand my training program will include exercises to build the cardio respiratory system, (heart and lungs), the musculoskeletal system, (which involves muscular endurance and strength and overall flexibility), and to improve body composition, (increasing muscle bone and decreasing body fat.)
Training at Talisman consists of a mixture of Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, and HIIT cardio, when you become fitter and stronger, CrossFit workouts are accessible to everyone of any fitness level.

DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL RISK:
I understand that no exercise program is without inherent risks regardless of the care taken by a coach and that my personal safety cannot be guaranteed by my coach. I realise that when participating in any exercises, there is a slight chance of injury (e.g heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular accidents) or catastrophic incident (e.g. death, paralysis). Likewise, I know that engaging in muscular endurance, strength building, and other fitness activities sometimes results in minor injuries (e.g bruises, musculoskeletal strains and sprains), less frequent, more serious injuries (e.g muscle tears, herniated discs, torn rotator cuffs), and rarely catastrophic.
