Additionally, Unigym reserves the right to refuse your application for membership at its discretion.
1.0 Terms and Conditions

2.0 Disclosure and your health and level of fitness.
2.1 Where you are applying for membership to which concession rates apply, you must present evidence satisfactory to Unigym that you are entitled to join in the relevant category of membership (which evidence may be further detailed in the relevant Special Conditions). You must also provide such evidence whenever a Unigym staff members requests to see it.
2.2 You must advise Unigym where you are no longer eligible for concessions within 10 business days of your eligibility lapsing. Where you do so, and if applicable, Unigym will negotiate with you in relation to the arrangements that will apply to the remainder of your ongoing membership entitlements.
2.3 If Unigym becomes aware that you are not, or have ceased to be, entitled to be eligible for concession and you have misled Unigym or failed to inform Unigym of this fact, then Unigym may cancel your membership and suspend your access with immediate effect and any application for future access to or membership of Unigym may be refused as a result.
2.4 You acknowledge that provision of a safe and effective exercise program for you is dependent upon accurate health and fitness profiling. You must therefore fill out a health screen questionnaire (Health Screen) at the same time as your application form is filled out. Completing the Health Screen and submitting it to Unigym is a precondition to your application being processed and Unigym may refuse your membership or may refuse to allow you access to the Facilities if you refuse to do so.
2.5 It is recommended to complete a Health Screen at least every 12 months where your membership or access to the Facilities is ongoing over that period or whenever Unigym requires you to do so.

a. Full details of the condition in the Health Screen;
b. the proposed Unigym Activities or Independent Activities in which you propose to participate or the Facilities which you propose to use;

2.7 Where you need assistance to participate in a Unigym Activity, an Independent Activity or to use a Facility and you have made arrangements for assistance to be provided by a Carer, the Carer must attend the Facility with you and assist you in that regard.
2.8 Unigym may be able to provide you with assistance to participate in Unigym Activities or to use the Facilities but whether such assistance will be available will depend on:
a. the nature and extent of the assistance required;
b. the staff resources and experience in the relevant Facility at the time at which the assistance is required.
2.9 Assistance that is provided by Unigym further to clause 2.8 will be charged at the standard costs applicable to the relevant staff member’s time.
2.10 You understand that Unigym will rely on the information you provide in the Health Screen as to your personal health and fitness and you agree to fill it out honestly and accurately and disclose any impairment or pre-existing condition which you think might possibly impact on your ability to participate in Unigym Activities or Independent Activities. As a part of this process, you agree to provide Unigym with any relevant information or recommendations you receive from your medical or allied health practitioners.
2.11 If you subsequently become aware of any impairment or condition that may impact on your ability to undertake the Unigym Activities or Independent Activities that you are or propose to participate in, you must disclose the impairment or condition to Unigym immediately and promptly confirm it in writing. Again, you agree to provide Unigym with any relevant information or recommendations you receive from your medical or allied health practitioners.
2.12 You understand and acknowledge that Unigym staff, representatives and agents are not medically trained and are not qualified to assess whether you are in a physical condition that will enable you to comfortably or safely engage in a training or fitness class or activity as part of the Unigym Activities or Independent Activities. If you have any doubt as to whether the Unigym Activities or Independent Activities in which you propose to participate pose a risk to your health or wellbeing, you agree to seek and rely on expert medical advice before commencing
2.13 Despite clause 2.12, Unigym may form a view based on information that you provide in your Health Screen or otherwise that:
a. you should only participate in training or fitness classes or activities subject to conditions aimed at minimising risk of injury or illness to you;
b. you should participate in particular fitness classes or activities and not others, or
c. your membership should not be activated or should be cancelled.
2.14 Conditions which may be imposed under clause 2.13 can include a requirement that you:
a. attend a medical practitioner who agrees in writing to your proposed exercise program; or
b. limit your fitness or training activities as recommended or only undertake them in a particular manner.
2.15 If you do not agree to comply, or do not comply with conditions imposed under clause 2.13, Unigym may take what action it considers necessary including refusing to activate or continue your membership.
2.16 You agree that each time you use the Facilities you will assess whether you are in a physical condition which will allow you to participate in the Unigym Activities or Independent Activities which you propose to be involved in on that particular visit. You agree to participate in the relevant activities only where you have reasonably formed the view that you are in a physical condition which will enable you to safely do so.
