Health
screening

I coach remotely, which means I write loads for people I have not watched move in a room. This is how I find out what I cannot see. It takes two minutes and it is answered once, before any programme is written.

Nothing here is stored. Your answers stay on your own device. There is no form handler, no database and no third party: the button at the bottom opens your email app with your answers already written out, and you send it yourself. If you close this page without sending, nothing has gone anywhere. If you would rather write it out in your own words instead, that is fine too.

Stop and see a doctor first

A yes to any of these means see your GP before we start. It is not a no forever, it is a not until somebody qualified has looked at it.

A heart condition of any kind, or a heart problem you are being treated for
Chest pain or tightness, at rest or when you exert yourself
Losing your balance from dizziness, or ever losing consciousness
High or low blood pressure that is not controlled, or that nobody has checked
Been told by a doctor to only do physical activity under supervision

Things that change what I write

A yes here does not stop anything. It changes what I write, which is the whole point of asking.

A bone, joint or soft tissue problem that gets worse with activity
A back, neck, shoulder, hip or knee injury, current or recurring
Surgery in the last twelve months, or surgery planned
Diabetes, a thyroid condition, or another metabolic condition
Asthma or another breathing condition
Epilepsy, or a neurological condition
Pregnant now, or given birth in the last twelve months
Prescribed medication of any kind
One or more of your answers needs a doctor first. I am a strength coach, not a clinician, and prescribing load around any of the things you have ticked is not mine to do unsupervised. Speak to your GP, tell them what you want to train for, and come back with what they say. In almost every case the answer is yes with conditions, and those conditions are useful to me.

Anything else

Injuries that are settled but you still think about, anything you are working around, anything a doctor has said about training. Your words are fine.
