These binding agreements apply to all future training sessions between the client and Personal Trainer Carsten Siegfried (hereinafter referred to as “Personal Trainer”), regardless of whether these take place in a studio, outdoors, at home, or another sports facility, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The client accepts these terms and conditions upon the purchase of a training session.
The Personal Trainer agrees to individually advise and support the client within the agreed scope of training and health services.
Training sessions can only be used personally by the client, unless otherwise agreed.
A training session generally lasts approximately 30 minutes, although the duration may vary slightly. The type, scope, and location of each training session will be arranged with the client. Training content and goals will be discussed in advance in a consultation.
Before beginning, a fitness check will be performed. Based on the results, the Personal Trainer reserves the right to decline service. The client must answer all health and lifestyle questions truthfully and inform the trainer immediately about any changes.
The client confirms they are healthy and medically cleared for physical activity, and agrees to have regular medical check-ups. Any health complaints must be reported. The Personal Trainer may require medical clearance before continuing sessions. The client also confirms that no known issues (illness, injury, medications) exist that would prevent them from training.
§ 2 Appointments / Cancellations
All training sessions must be arranged individually and specifically with the Personal Trainer.
Changes or cancellations by the client must be made at least 24 hours in advance. If costs have already been incurred (e.g., travel, booking fees), the client will reimburse them.
If cancellation occurs within 24 hours for reasons not attributable to the trainer, the full cost will be charged. Any incurred costs must be reimbursed.
If a session is canceled in advance due to illness, it may be rescheduled within six weeks after recovery. Incurred costs must still be covered by the client.
If a session cannot occur due to mutually unforeseen circumstances (e.g., weather), the time and place can be changed in mutual agreement.

Pricing is based on the current price list or confirmation. Price changes remain at the trainer’s discretion.
Additional session costs (entry fees, bookings, etc.) will be communicated in advance and paid by the client.
Medical costs (doctor, physio, nutritionist) are the client’s responsibility.
Evaluations, follow-up plans, special programs are not included and will be billed separately if requested.

The trainer is not responsible if the client does not achieve their personal fitness goals.

informed immediately, and any payments already made will be refunded..
§ 11 Copyrights / Publications
