Lions Gym Ltd Disclaimer:
A risk always exists when taking any form of exercise and that a health problem or weakness may become apparent and could conceivably lead to injury, illness or fatality.
Our staff, agents and subcontractors are not medically trained and so should you have any concerns with your health you should seek independent medical advice before engaging in any physical activity on our premises. It is strongly recommended that members refer to their GP for advice before starting any physical exercise.
Upon joining, all members may request a comprehensive induction (fees applicable) to instruct you on the use of all gym equipment and we strongly advise to undertake this. Lions Gym Limited will not accept any liability for any claim for personal injury during the use of equipment having not undertaken an induction from a qualified Personal Trainer available at Lions Gym. Under 16’s are not allowed to use the Gym area under any circumstances.
Martial arts are a potentially dangerous activity. Bumps, bruises, scrapes, scratches and soreness are commonplace, and most students will encounter this sort of minor injury from time to time in their training. More serious injuries are also possible, including sprains, strains, twists, cramps and injuries of similar magnitude and students can expect to encounter these injuries infrequently. The possibility of more serious injury exists, including fractured bones, broken bones, and torn ligaments, though not all students encounter such serious injuries. As with any physical activity, there also exists the remote possibility of crippling or death.
Lions Gym Ltd, our staff, agents and subcontractors shall not be held responsible in the event of any injury, accident, illness or death which may result and can accept no liability other than in accordance with such duty as is implied by the Occupiers Liability Act 1984 as amended from time to time.
