CARRYING SESSIONS FORWARD ONE SEMESTER

SCOPE OF PRACTICE

Personal training sessions include cardiovascular exercises, muscle strengthening and endurance exercises, and flexibility exercises. Nutrition consultation sessions include discussions about my dietary habits and goals for my nutritional intake based on my nutritional needs and within the scope of practice of the nutrition practitioner. I understand that sessions can only include matters within the scope of practice offered by the Fitness Center staff and their respective programs and services. The Fitness Center reserves the right to make referrals out rather than provide services to clients when issues exceed the scope of available services or scope of practice of the practitioner.

A maximum of three sessions (sessions, consultations, tests) may be carried forward for one semester (spring to summer; summer to fall; fall to spring).

Any sessions not used by the end of the second semester will be forfeited.
