Client Agreement & Liability Waiver

Last updated: July 2, 2026

Before we start training together, please read this agreement, fill in your details below, and sign electronically. You'll receive a copy by email for your records, and I keep one for mine. It covers how coaching works, what you're agreeing to, and the risks that come with physical training. If anything is unclear, ask me before signing — I'd rather explain than have you sign something you're unsure about.

1. Terms of service

1.1 What coaching is (and isn't)

Spira Coaching LLC (“Aaron Spira Coaching,” “I”) provides personal training and fitness coaching — in person, live online, or through written programming. Coaching is educational and fitness-focused. It is not medical care, physical therapy, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for advice from your physician or licensed healthcare provider.

1.2 Your responsibilities

• Get clearance from your healthcare provider before starting if you have a medical condition, injury, or post-surgical restriction — and follow any restrictions they give you.
• Tell me honestly and promptly about pain, symptoms, medications, or changes in your health that could affect training.
• Work within the program as written; check with me before making significant changes.

1.3 Scheduling & cancellations

Sessions are scheduled in advance by mutual agreement. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 24 hours' notice. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be charged in full, at my discretion — life happens, and genuine emergencies are always treated as such.

1.4 Payment & guarantee

Fees and payment schedule are as agreed for your coaching option. All coaching is backed by my satisfaction guarantee: if you're not satisfied with your most recent session or current month of coaching, tell me during or right after and you won't pay for it — or I'll refund that session or month.

1.5 Ending coaching

Either of us can end the coaching relationship at any time with written notice (email is fine). You'll only be charged for services already provided, subject to the guarantee above.

1.6 Privacy

Your personal information is handled as described in the Privacy Policy, which is part of this agreement.

2. Assumption of risk & release of liability

2.1 Acknowledgment of risk

Physical exercise — including strength training, stretching, cardiovascular work, and use of training equipment — carries inherent risks. These include muscle soreness and strains, sprains, aggravation of existing conditions, and, in rare cases, serious injury such as fractures, cardiac events, or death. I acknowledge these risks exist even when training is properly designed and supervised.

2.2 Voluntary participation

I am participating in coaching voluntarily. I confirm that I am physically able to participate, that I have obtained medical clearance where appropriate, and that I have disclosed relevant health conditions to my coach. I understand I may stop any exercise at any time, and that I am responsible for training within my own limits.

2.3 Release

In consideration of being permitted to participate in coaching services, I — on behalf of myself, my heirs, and my legal representatives — release, waive, and discharge Spira Coaching LLC, Aaron Spira, and their agents from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of the ordinary negligence of the released parties or the inherent risks of physical activity, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This release does not extend to gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be waived under California law.

2.4 Emergency care

If I am injured or become ill during a session and cannot direct my own care, I authorize my coach to call emergency services on my behalf. I am responsible for any costs of emergency care.

2.5 Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
