Pilates exercise programmes are designed to improve muscle tone, strength, endurance and flexibility and may include physical activities such as stretching, using weights, small equipment and machines.

When participating in activity/exercise you are likely to experience different levels of intensity over varying lengths of time. As a result, you may experience quicker breathing patterns and become hot, as well as feelings of awkwardness depending on your experience or level of fitness.

Each part of the activity/exercise you participate in will be fully explained, however, you are strongly advised to ask questions if you are not clear about anything. 

Most exercise programmes contain certain risks; muscle pulls, joint strains, aches, pains and general discomfort in parts of the body not previously used. If at any time you feel pain or discomfort, stop performing the activity and notify the teacher. Likewise, if you feel that you should not do a particular exercise for any reason, you should inform the teacher.

Prior to taking part in activity/exercise sessions with Body Revive, you must to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). If you answer YES to any of the questions on the health questionnaire, you are strongly recommended to consult your GP prior to continuing. There are many activities you may still be able to do. You are advised to start slowly and increase your level of activity incrementally. 

I understand that relevant sections of any of my medical notes and data collected during the activities may be looked at by the teacher where it is relevant to my taking part in a session and I give permission for these individuals to have access to my records.
