Health Statement

Your Responsibility

By booking and attending any class at Burn Mat Studio, you confirm that you are in good health and physically capable of participating in exercise. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit to take part.

Medical Conditions & Injuries

You must inform your instructor before class if you have any medical conditions, injuries, or physical limitations that may affect your ability to exercise safely. This includes but is not limited to:

• Heart conditions or cardiovascular issues
• High or low blood pressure
• Joint, back, or spinal injuries
• Recent surgery or ongoing rehabilitation
• Asthma or respiratory conditions
• Diabetes
• Epilepsy
• Any condition that may be affected by heat (our Hot Pilates and Hot Yoga classes take place in a heated environment)

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, please inform your instructor before class. Certain exercises and heated environments may not be suitable during pregnancy. We recommend consulting your GP or midwife before attending classes.

Heated Classes

Our Hot Pilates and Hot Yoga classes are conducted in a heated studio. Heat can increase the risk of dehydration, dizziness, and overheating. Please ensure you are well hydrated before, during, and after class. If you feel unwell at any point during a heated class, stop immediately and inform your instructor. Heated classes may not be suitable for everyone — please consult your GP if you have any concerns.

During Class

Listen to your body at all times. If you experience pain, dizziness, nausea, or any discomfort during a class, stop exercising immediately and let your instructor know. Our instructors will offer modifications where possible, but you are responsible for working within your own limits.

Professional Medical Advice

If you are unsure whether exercise is appropriate for you, we recommend consulting your GP or a qualified medical professional before attending any classes. Our classes are not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Assumption of Risk

Participation in any exercise class carries inherent risks. By attending classes at Burn Mat Studio, you acknowledge and accept these risks and agree that Burn Mat Studio, its owner, instructors, and staff are not liable for any injury, illness, or loss arising from your participation.

Under 18s

Participants must be aged 18 or over unless otherwise stated for a specific class (e.g. Baby & Me Yoga, where an accompanying adult is required). A parent or guardian must provide consent for any participant under 18.
