Structured strength and muscle-building programs using free weights, machines and bodyweight, built around the Client's goals and ability.
Movement-based training to improve mobility, balance, stability, core strength and everyday physical performance.
Dynamic, strength-focused yoga to build flexibility, endurance, breath control and body awareness.
Fitness-oriented kickboxing for conditioning, coordination, stamina and fat loss. This is non-contact training unless otherwise agreed in writing.
High-intensity, varied workouts combining strength, cardio and gymnastics-based movements, scaled to the Client's level.
Live one-on-one sessions over video call, covering the same training styles, with workouts adapted to the Client's space and available equipment.
Training focuses on general fitness, strength, conditioning and mobility. The Trainer will design sessions drawing from the services listed above, based on the Client's goals, fitness level and health declaration.

Sessions cancelled or missed by the Client will be counted as completed.
If a session is cancelled by the Trainer, it will be rescheduled at no cost to the Client.
While all reasonable care and professional expertise will be applied, the Trainer cannot guarantee specific results, as progress depends on the Client's body, health history, effort, nutrition, rest and consistency.
The Client understands and accepts that participation in physical training, including weight training, high-intensity workouts, power yoga, kickboxing and online sessions, involves inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, joint injuries, fatigue, dizziness, and other physical injury. The Client assumes all such risks and releases the Trainer from any liability associated with them.
The Trainer is not liable for any injury, accident, illness, loss or damage to property, or incident involving the Client or third parties during or after training, except to the extent caused by the Trainer's proven gross negligence.
The Client agrees to stop exercising and inform the Trainer immediately if they experience pain, dizziness, breathlessness or discomfort, and takes full responsibility for their own safety and for working within their limits.
All Client information, including health and personal details, will remain confidential and will not be shared without consent.
With the Client's permission, photographs or videos from training may be used for educational or promotional purposes (social media, website, etc.).
The Client reserves the right to decline the use of their images or videos.
The Client agrees that workout programs, techniques and training content provided by the Trainer are for the Client's personal use only and may not be shared, reproduced or distributed in any form without the Trainer's written consent.
The Client warrants that they are in good health and fit to take part in physical training, and will complete a health and fitness declaration (PAR-Q) before the first session.
The Client agrees to inform the Trainer in advance of any medical condition, injury, surgery, pregnancy, medication or other physical limitation, and of any change during the training period. The Client is advised to obtain medical clearance from a doctor before starting if they have any health concerns.
The Trainer may modify or stop any exercise or session if it is unsafe for the Client. The Trainer shall not be liable for any injuries, accidents or illness that may occur during training or as a result of participation in the training program.
The Trainer shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform services due to circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, heavy rains, government restrictions, venue closures, accidents, illness, or acts of God. Affected sessions will be rescheduled where reasonably possible.
The Trainer reserves the right to terminate training immediately if the Client fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including payment obligations, attendance, or adherence to safety protocols. No fees will be refunded upon termination for cause.
If the Client fails to pay fees on time, the Trainer reserves the right to suspend training until payment is made. The Client shall also be responsible for any costs incurred in collecting overdue payments, including legal fees.
