Safety Statement:
There are inherent risks of physical activity. It is your responsibility to know your limits. Most exercises can be modified to each individual’s need, but it is your responsibility to ask how. Individuals should also be aware of their surroundings. Exercises performed outside have added risks of weather, animals, and other natural threats. Dress appropriately for the weather and given activity, and always have enough water. We will look after one another, but you are responsible for yourself first and foremost.

Policies:
- Do not start a fitness routine until consulting your physician.
- Push yourself to do as much as you can without injury. Injuries can happen so if you feel discomfort, STOP. Pain is your body’s way of saying something is wrong. While soreness is common after a workout, this is different than the pain during a workout.
- Always have a workout buddy. This is a person around your fitness level, who can provide motivation, and most importantly response if an injury occurs.
- The coordinator has the authority to stop training and remove an individual if they deem it necessary.
