No. You pay in advance for each 4 week block. If you start the programme and decide it is not for you, you are under no obligation to continue. 

I accept that 60Fitness is not right for everyone so fully accept and understand that you may start with me and find it doesn't work out to be the right thing for you. I wouldn't want anyone to feel tied in due to financial or contractual commitment and would like all my Clients to stay with me out of choice. 

After completing the 60Fitness 12 Week Exercise For Life Coaching Programme, you have the option to join the 60Fitness Premium Membership Program (within 6 months of completing the Exercise for Life Coaching Programme.

• If you need to lose weight, improve metabolic health or help improve your type 2 diabetes management, you may want to get a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to use once or twice during the 12 Week Exercise For Life Coaching Programme. We will discuss the merits of this for you. If you decided to get it, you can get them from   Abbott https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/products/freestyle-libre-2.html#fsl2, They are currently around £60 and last for about 2 weeks.
• I may make various recommendations for optional items that may be of benefit to you, but it will always be up to you to decide if the cost/benefit is worthwhile to you. Some of the common recommendations I make are stretch cords, resistance bands and glute bands, which are low cost versatile items that can be used anywhere.

I am a medical doctor but I am not your doctor. I worked most of my career in research doing trials with new medicines. I have not treated patients for many years. I cannot give you any medical advice and I cannot provide you with prescriptions or recommendations for medicines. I am registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK. You can check the medical register and see my registration here  https://www.gmc-uk.org/doctors/3633115. I am registered 'without a licence to practice'. That means I have chosen not to 'revalidate'. Revalidation is an expensive and time consuming process which I don't need as I have retired from any medical practice that requires a 'licence to practice'. I have chosen to remain on the medical register as I remain committed to the values of the medical profession and it provides evidence of my 'Good Standing' with the GMC.

It is possible that I may advise you to consult with your doctor or other healthcare professional about something if I think there is the need for it. It is also possible I may pause or stop  your programme pending the outcome of such consultations should it be required. I am happy to work with and liaise with your healthcare professional if you wish, subject to the appropriate consents.

I can give you exercise, nutrition and lifestyle advice.  I can also use any of your data and results that you choose to share with me to help guide your exercise, nutrition and lifestyle programme.

It is important to me that I  am able to provide a benefit to all my Clients and that we can establish a suitable relationship to ensure that you can achieve your goals.

First we need to arrange a free initial consultation which will last about 30 minutes. I want to make sure that I can help you achieve your goals, and I want you to be sure that you will feel comfortable with me and the way I go about things. You can book a free initial consultation here. 

After the initial consultation and if we agree, I will send you the details on how to sign up. Once you have signed up and got your account on my App, you will receive a number of forms to complete. 

It is possible that based on the information in those forms, we may need get your Doctor to provide a 'Medical Clearance Form' before we can start your programme. 

It is possible that something comes up during the programme and I ask you to consult with your healthcare practitioner before we continue. If this happens, you can choose to extend your programme or get a prorata refund until such time as you are cleared to continue again with your programme.
