INFORMED CONSENT FORM

Informed Consent Form

I, (print name) ___________________________ , give my consent to participate in the
physical fitness evaluation program conducted by C.J.s Functional Fitness and Self
Defense, LLC.
Benefits
Participation in a regular program of physical activity has been shown to produce positive changes in a number of
organ systems. These changes include increased work capacity, improved cardiovascular efficiency, and increased
muscular strength, flexibility, power and endurance.
Risks
I recognize that exercise carries some risk to the musculoskeletal system (sprains, strains) and the
cardiorespiratory system (dizziness, discomfort in breathing, heart attack). I hereby certify that I know of no
medical problem (except those noted below) that would increase my risk of illness and injury as a result of
participation in a regular exercise program.
Testing And Evaluation Results
I understand that I may undergo initial testing to determine my current physical fitness status. The testing will
consist of completing this health inventory, taking a step test or bicycle ergometer test for cardiovascular fitness,
and being tested for muscular fitness and body composition. I further understand that such screening is intended
to provide C.J.s Functional Fitness and Self Defense, LLC, with essential information used in the
development of individual fitness programs. I understand that my individual results will be made available only to
me. I also understand that the testing is not intended to replace any other medical test or the services of my
physician. I will be provided a copy of all test results. I may share the results with whomever I please, including my
personal physician. By signing this consent form I understand that I am personally responsible for my actions
during my tenure at C.J.s Functional Fitness and Self Defense, LLC and that I waive the
responsibility of this center if I should incur any injury as a result of my negligence.
