Health, Fitness & Wellness Disclaimer and Readiness Declaration

Effective date: [Effective Date]

Yoga, pilates, zumba and other movement or breathing classes are physical activities with a risk of strain or injury, and they are not medical treatment. Every learner (or parent, for under-18s) accepts this declaration before their first fitness session.

1. Not medical advice

MakRew teachers are trained fitness and wellness instructors, not doctors or physiotherapists. Nothing in a class, message or recording is a diagnosis, treatment or substitute for advice from a qualified medical professional. Breathing and vocal exercises in music classes follow the same principle.

2. Check with a doctor first if any of these apply

  • Heart condition, chest pain, high or low blood pressure, or fainting
  • Recent surgery, fracture, or a back, neck, knee or joint injury
  • Pregnancy or having given birth in the last 6 months
  • Asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, osteoporosis or any long-term condition
  • Any medicine that affects balance, heart rate or blood pressure
  • Being over 60 and new to exercise

3. Your responsibilities

  1. Fill in the readiness form honestly and update it if anything changes. Tell your teacher before class about any new pain or condition.
  2. Exercise in a safe space: clear floor, non-slip mat, enough room to move, good ventilation, water nearby.
  3. Keep your camera positioned so the teacher can see you, and follow modifications they suggest.
  4. Work within your own limits. Stop at once and tell the teacher if you feel pain, dizziness, breathlessness, chest discomfort or nausea.
  5. For learners under 18, a parent or guardian is responsible for supervising the space and the child's wellbeing.

4. What MakRew does

  • Screens fitness teachers for recognised certification and teaching experience.
  • Asks teachers to review your readiness form, offer modifications and stop the class if they see a risk.
  • Keeps your readiness notes private (see the Privacy Policy).

5. Acceptance of risk

By taking a fitness or wellness class, you confirm you are in suitable health to take part or have medical clearance, and you voluntarily accept the ordinary risks of physical activity. To the extent the law allows, MakRew and its teachers are not liable for injury caused by undisclosed conditions, ignoring instructions or an unsafe home environment. Nothing here limits liability for negligence that cannot be excluded under Indian law.

6. Readiness declaration (shown as a tick-box form at first booking)

  • I have read this disclaimer and understand that classes are not medical advice.
  • I have none of the conditions listed in section 2, or I have checked with my doctor and been cleared to exercise.
  • I will tell my teacher about any injury, condition or pregnancy before class.
  • I will exercise in a safe space and stop if I feel unwell.
  • (Parents) I am the parent or guardian of the learner and accept this on their behalf.

Optional notes for my teacher (injuries, conditions, goals): ______________________
