Health & Exercise Disclaimer
PlatinumPT Last updated: 10 August 2026
Please read this Health & Exercise Disclaimer carefully before beginning any training program or coaching with PlatinumPT. By starting a program or participating in our services, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read and understand this Disclaimer and the risks associated with physical exercise.
Not Medical Advice
PlatinumPT provides general health and fitness coaching only. Our programs, guidance, and communications are not medical, physiotherapy, or dietary advice, and are not a substitute for professional medical care. Our services are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
Consult a Professional Before You Start
Before beginning any exercise program, you should consult your doctor or a qualified medical professional, especially if you:
have a pre-existing medical condition, injury, or illness;
are recovering from surgery or an injury;
are pregnant, recently gave birth, or are in the postnatal period;
take medication that may affect your ability to exercise;
experience chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath during activity; or
are unsure for any reason whether exercise is safe for you.
If a qualified medical professional advises you to avoid certain activities or types of exercise, you should follow that advice and inform us before continuing with those activities.
Assumption of Risk
Physical exercise carries inherent risks, including the risk of muscle soreness, strains, injury, or, in rare cases, more serious health events. You understand these risks and choose to participate in all training and activities voluntarily and at your own risk.
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
disclosing accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about your health, injuries, and medical history;
exercising within your own physical limits and using correct technique;
stopping exercise if you experience concerning pain, dizziness, unusual discomfort, or become unwell, and seeking appropriate medical advice where necessary; and
keeping us informed of any changes to your health that may affect your training.
Providing incomplete or inaccurate health information may affect our ability to coach you safely.
Online Coaching Limitations
PlatinumPT provides coaching remotely and cannot continuously observe your technique, environment, equipment, or physical condition while you exercise. Exercise demonstrations and instructions are provided to assist you, but you remain responsible for exercising in a safe environment and using equipment appropriately. If you are unsure how to perform an exercise safely, stop and contact your coach before continuing.
Not an Emergency Service
PlatinumPT is not an emergency or medical service, and we are not available for urgent or emergency support. If you experience a medical emergency or urgent health concern, stop exercising and contact an appropriate emergency or healthcare service immediately (in New Zealand, dial 111).
No Guarantee of Results
Individual results vary and depend on many factors, including your consistency, effort, and adherence to your program. While we are committed to supporting your progress, we do not and cannot guarantee any specific outcome or result.
Acknowledgement
By starting a program or coaching with PlatinumPT, you acknowledge that:
you have had the opportunity to read and understand this Health & Exercise Disclaimer;
you are voluntarily participating and accept the risks involved;
you have considered your own health and, where appropriate, sought medical advice; and
you agree to train responsibly and within your own limits.
Where practical, we ask you to confirm your acknowledgement during signup or onboarding, for example:
☐ I have read and acknowledge the Health & Exercise Disclaimer and understand that physical exercise carries inherent risks.
This disclaimer works alongside our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
