Personal trainer contract

About this home fitness trainer contract

A simple contract for self employed home fitness trainer to present to a client for agreement and signature. Flexible for you to decide first what terms you want, then to present to clients and negotiate anything they are not happy with.

Covers many areas where disputes could arise: expenses, prompt payment, emergency procedures, client absence and no-show, hours of work and more. Most importantly, it provides the simplest way to deal with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

This contract has been drawn to be sufficiently “unthreatening” as to enable you to obtain a client’s signature without delay or apology. If clients offer their own document, you should politely refuse and insist on yours.

Key features

As a worker in a client’s home, you need the protection this document provides. If you have not arranged for up front payment you are always at risk that your client will not pay. We give you the option of alternative payment procedures. The document provides strong provisions on mutual confidentiality (particularly to make clients responsible for what may be posted on a social network). Limitation of liability also features large in this contract.
