All Gyms.co.nz exercise programmes are to be used as a guideline only and it is recommended that any training should not be commenced without first receiving the correct instruction from a qualified professional.
  Gyms.co.nz also recommends that you seek a medical clearance from your doctor prior to undertaking your fitness programme.    All of Gyms.co.nz training programmes are utilised completely at your own risk.  You should discontinue training immediately if you feel faint, dizzy or experience pain during your workout.  If you are not accustomed to the volume or intensity of any of the Gyms.co.nz programmes you should look to work up to the required training levels over a number of weeks.  When using heavy weights or training to fatigue you should always exercise with a ‘spotter’.  A ‘Spotter’ is someone who can assist with the weight you should you require it during the latter repetitions of a set.
