Fitness Dynamics PARQ Health Questionnaire

  • Pre-Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ)

    This PARQ is designed to help you to help yourself. Many benefits are associated with regular exercise and completion of the PARQ form is a sensible first step to take if you are planning to increase the amount of physical activity in your life. For most people, physical activity should not pose a problem or hazard. The PARQ has been designed to identify the small number of people for whom physical activity might be inappropriate, or for those who should seek medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them. Common sense is your best guide for answering these questions. Note: this information will be kept confidential and only accessed by Fitness Dynamics.

  • “I confirm that where any medical condition, discomfort or injury which may be affected by physical activity applies or becomes applicable at any time when I am participating in a class, I am responsible for checking with my doctor to ensure I am able to participate in this activity.

    I have been informed that if I answer yes to any of the health screening questions above, I should seek medical advice/approval before commencing classes with Fitness Dynamics. If I continue without such advice and therefore have not declared some health issues, I do so entirely at my own risk. I agree that any information, instruction, or advice obtained from Fitness Dynamics may NOT be used as a substitute for my doctor’s advice or treatment.

    I confirm that I have read, fully understood and answered the questions honestly. If at any time I have questions, feel unsafe, or unwell I will immediately inform the instructor and discontinue further participation in the class.

    Whilst I understand that every precaution will be taken while under instruction, I accept full responsibility for my actions and consider myself fit enough to take part in exercise. If participating in online exercise classes, I will ensure that I choose classes suitable for my health and fitness level and that the space I use to exercise in is large and clear enough to be safe to move around in without hazards.

    I understand that instructors at Fitness Dynamics cannot be held responsible for any injuries or ill health of any kind arising from participation within classes and that my participation involves a risk of injury."
