Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)

Par-Q is designed to help you help yourself.  Many health benefits are associated with regular exercise.


For most people, physical activity should not pose any problems or hazards.  PAR-Q has been designed to indentify the small number of adults for whom physical activity might be inappropriate or those who should have medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them.


Common sense is your best guide in answering these few questions.  Please read them carefully and check YES or NO.  If YES, please explain.

Important Information - Please Read

If you answered yes to any of the questions in this PAR-Q, you are advise to seek medical advise/approval before taking part in any fitness classes.   If your health changes, such that you answer yes to any of the questions, please refrain from exercising until you have spoken with your doctor or health professional.  


Many of our classes are taught in darkened rooms with flashing lights.  If you suffer from any form of photo-sensitivity or light sensitivity these classes are not suitable for you.  


Due to the possibility of bruising, hooping with weighted hoops is contraindicated in those taking blood thinning medication or those that have any medical condition that increases one's tendency to bruise.  


It is important that you listen to your own body, take the classes at your own pace and chose the lower impact moves if you find the high impact moves too challenging.   It is vital that you stay hydrated and take rest whenever you need it.  


If at anytime you have a question, feel unsafe or unwell you must inform the instructor immediately and discountinue further participation in the class.
