What is the
Health Commitment Statement?
Developed by legal experts, the Health Commitment Statement (HCS) is a disclaimer used by health and fitness trainers to ensure clients take responsibility for their personal health and wellbeing.
The HCS sets out what trainers and clients can reasonably expect from each other, rather than a trainer needing to evaluate the client’s health or requiring an ‘all clear’ from a doctor or physio.
Protect yourself in the event of litigation by using the HCS when signing up new clients.
How does it help you?
The HCS is reviewed and updated every year by our legal experts to ensure that you are protected in the event of litigation.
It is quick and easy to use, so it doesn’t slow down or interfere with your onboarding process for new clients.
Speak to your professional insurance provider regarding reducing your premiums due to the extra protection provided by the HCS.

How do you use it?
The HCS is easy for you to use and easy for your clients to understand.
Step 1: You send the HCS to the client
The HCS should be sent to the client before they begin their training. It can be sent as an email attachment, a link to view it on your website, or even posted.
Step 2: Client acknowledges reading the HCS
The client must acknowledge that they have read the HCS and acknowledge its contents. The acknowledgement could be an affirmative email response, filling in an online form, or signing a page or ticking a box.
Step 3: Record the client acknowledgment
It is important that you record and store the client acknowledgement as part of your onboarding process, so that it can be retrieved if required to prove acknowledgment was provided.
