Health Commitment Statement

Your health is your responsibility.  The management and staff of Southampton Sport are dedicated to helping you take every opportunity to enjoy our facilities.  With this in mind, we have carefully considered what we can reasonably expect from each other.

Our commitment to you

  • We will respect your personal decisions and allow you to make your own decisions about what exercise you can carry out. We ask you not to exercise beyond what you consider to be your own abilities. 
  • We will take every reasonable effort to ensure our equipment and facilities are in a safe condition for you to use and enjoy. 
  • If you tell us that you have a disability which puts you at a substantial disadvantage in accessing our equipment and facilities, we will consider what assignments, if any, are reasonable for us to make. 
  • We will take all reasonable steps to make sure that our staff are qualified to the fitness industry standards as set out by the Register of Exercise Professionals. 

Your commitment to us

  • If you have a disability, you must follow any reasonable instructions to allow you to exercise safely. 
  • You should not exercise beyond your own abilities.
  • You must only exercise if you are fit and able to exercise, and not suffering from illness or injury. If you know, or are concerned that you have a medical condition that might interfere with you exercising safely, before you use our equipment and facilities you should get advice from a relevant medical professional and follow that advice.
  • You should make yourself aware of any rules and instructions including warning notices.  Exercise carries its own risks. You should not carry out any activities which you have been told are not suitable for you.
  • You should let us know immediately if you feel ill when using our equipment or facilities. Our staff members are not qualified doctors but there will be a person available who has had first-aid training.

When you enter in to a membership contract with Southampton Sport you are confirming that you understand there is a risk associated with ALL forms of exercise and physical activity. 

You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Health Commitment Statement which is on display in the Sports Facilities, online at Southampton Sport and available on request from the Jubilee Sport and Recreation Centre Reception.
