Child member

Child membership details.

Enter the child's details. The child profile will sit under the adult account holder.

Child full name Child date of birth Relationship to child I confirm I have authority to sign up on behalf of the child. I understand child attendance and supervision must be agreed with the gym. I give permission for the child to participate in coached gym activity. I understand safeguarding rules apply to child attendance and communication.

Child permissions

Physical contact permission.

This section only applies when signing up a child member. It separates essential safety intervention contact from coaching-related physical contact.

Essential safety intervention

During training, staff or coaches may need to make brief physical contact with a child if it is necessary to prevent immediate harm, stop an accident, assist during a failed lift, or respond to an urgent safety situation.

A total no-contact option cannot be offered for safety interventions, because staff must be able to act if a child is at immediate risk.

I understand and accept that essential safety intervention contact may be necessary to prevent immediate harm or respond to an urgent safety situation.

Coaching-related physical contact

Some coaching may involve brief physical contact, such as adjusting body position, guiding setup, spotting, or helping demonstrate a movement. This should be respectful, limited, relevant to the session, and explained where possible.

Please choose the child physical contact permission option. Essential safety intervention contact only. I do not give permission for general coaching-related physical contact. Essential safety intervention contact and limited coaching-related physical contact where necessary during training.

Emergency contact

Emergency details.

Provide emergency contact details for the member joining.

Emergency contact name Emergency contact phone

Health questions

Physical activity readiness for the adult member.

Answer every health question honestly for the adult member joining. If you answer yes to any question, Old Tyme Strength may ask you to confirm that you have appropriate medical clearance before training.

I understand medical clearance may be needed before training if any health question is answered yes. I confirm I have answered the health questions honestly for the adult member and will tell Old Tyme Strength if my health changes.

Support information

Practical support needs.

Tell us anything practical the gym should know before the member trains.

No support needs to tell the gym about. I want to write down something the gym should know before I train, such as access needs, communication preferences, anxiety, injury concerns, sensory issues, or other practical support. I do have something to discuss, but I would rather speak to the gym directly instead of writing it here.

Photos and videos

Photo and video permission.

Choose how Old Tyme Strength may use photos or videos of you. This is separate from normal membership messages.

Do not use photos or videos of me for gym website or social media posts. I understand I may still appear in the background at public gym events or competitions. Photos or videos may be used privately by Old Tyme Strength coaches to review technique, training, or lifting. Photos or videos may be used on the Old Tyme Strength website or social media, but without using my full name.

I understand I can ask Old Tyme Strength to change my photo or video permission later.

Messages

Coaching and gym contact.

Choose whether coaches may contact you about training. Essential membership, safety, payment, access, or admin messages may still be sent when needed.

Coaches may contact me by phone, text, email, or direct message about training, gym sessions, lifting technique, membership, or gym-related support. Do not contact me about coaching or training support. Only contact me when it is needed for membership, safety, payment, access, or essential gym administration.

Agreement

Gym rules and signature.

Read the rules before submitting. These apply to adult members and to any child member linked under an adult account.

Train with control. Lift properly, use controlled technique, and do not throw or drop equipment unless it is part of safe lifting on the correct platform.

Respect the gym and the people in it. No bullying, intimidation, harassment, abusive language, or behaviour that makes another member feel unsafe or unwelcome.

Ask before filming or taking photos. If another person could appear in your photo or video, ask their permission first. Do not film strangers in the background without consent.

Keep coaching clear. Do not coach, correct, or handle another member unless they have asked you to, or a coach has told you to help.

Use equipment properly. Put plates, bars, collars, bands, benches, and accessories back where they belong after use.

Use collars when needed. Use collars on bars where plates may move, especially during bench press, overhead work, deadlifts, or uneven loading.

Keep the floor clear. Bags, bottles, tripods, plates, and personal items must not block walkways, racks, platforms, or emergency access.

Report damage or problems. If equipment breaks, feels unsafe, or something goes wrong, tell the gym as soon as possible.

No unsafe ego lifting. Do not attempt lifts that put you or others at obvious risk. Ask for a spotter or help when needed.

Respect opening, access, and membership rules. Do not share access, door codes, keys, login details, or membership access with anyone else.

Children must follow agreed supervision rules. Child attendance, training, and supervision must follow the arrangement agreed with Old Tyme Strength.

Leave the gym ready for the next person. Clean up after yourself, respect the space, and leave equipment in a usable condition.

I confirm the information I have provided is accurate. I have read the gym rules and agree that I, or the child I am signing up, will follow them. Typed signature This must match the full name entered at the top of the form.
