MAIKE MANCUSO COACHING
Terms & Conditions / Liability Waiver
Effective for all programs, classes, courses, and content
By signing up for, purchasing, or participating in any program, class, course, digital product, or content offered by Maike Mancuso Coaching — whether in person, virtually, or digitally — you confirm that you have read, understood, and fully agree to the following Terms & Conditions. These terms apply to all participants without exception.
1. Medical Clearance & Health Responsibility
Your safety is our top priority. Before beginning any program, class, or using any content offered by Maike Mancuso Coaching, you are required to obtain written medical clearance from a licensed physician or qualified healthcare provider confirming that you are medically fit to participate in physical exercise.
This requirement applies to all participants, including but not limited to:
• Pregnant clients — medical clearance is required prior to starting and must be maintained throughout your participation. Please keep your care team informed of your activity at every stage of your pregnancy.
• Postpartum clients — clearance is required before returning to physical activity. Your healthcare provider's guidance on timing and intensity takes precedence at all times.
• Clients with any pre-existing medical condition, injury, illness, or health concern — clearance is required before participation.
None of the content, programs, classes, or coaching provided by Maike Mancuso Coaching constitutes medical advice. All content is for general fitness and wellness education purposes only. Nothing shared should be interpreted as a diagnosis, treatment plan, or substitute for professional medical guidance. Always work closely with your personal care team to monitor your health throughout your fitness journey.
2. Pre- & Postnatal Clients — Special Acknowledgment & Assumption of Responsibility
Maike Mancuso Coaching is committed to supporting mamas through pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Maike holds pre- and postnatal fitness instructor qualifications and applies recognized general standards for movement during healthy pregnancies and postpartum recovery. However, by participating in any pre- or postnatal class, program, or using any related content, you explicitly acknowledge and agree to the following:
• Every pregnancy and every postpartum recovery is highly individual. No two bodies, pregnancies, or recoveries are alike. Exercises and guidance provided by Maike Mancuso Coaching are based on general standards for healthy pregnancies and are not a substitute for personalized medical advice from your care team.
• Maike Mancuso can only work with the information that is shared with her verbally or in writing. Because there are too many individual variables in each pregnancy and postpartum journey — many of which may not be visible, communicated, or known — it is impossible to account for every personal circumstance. Full responsibility for your health, your body, and the health and well-being of your baby remains with you, the client, at all times.
• Moving during pregnancy and postpartum recovery carries inherently higher risks than exercise at other stages of life. Even with qualified instruction and appropriate modifications, unexpected complications or adverse effects may occur. By participating, you acknowledge these elevated risks and assume full personal liability for any outcome arising from your participation — whether during, immediately after, or at any time following a session or use of any content.
• Maike Mancuso Coaching, its owner, employees, contractors, and any affiliated individuals or parties are not responsible or liable for any injury, complication, adverse outcome, or harm — to you or your baby — that arises in connection with participation in any pre- or postnatal program, class, course, or content.
• It is strongly recommended that pre- and postnatal clients maintain frequent, ongoing contact with their OB-GYN, midwife, pelvic floor therapist, or other relevant healthcare provider throughout participation. You are encouraged to share your fitness activities with your care team and follow their guidance above all else.
• If at any point your healthcare provider advises you to reduce, modify, or cease physical activity, it is your responsibility to communicate this to Maike Mancuso Coaching in writing and to act on your provider's guidance immediately.
3. Reporting Changes in Health & Well-Being
If you experience any changes in your health, well-being, or physical condition — including but not limited to new injuries, illness, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, surgery, or any condition that may affect your ability to exercise safely — you are required to report these changes to Maike Mancuso Coaching in writing before your next session or class.
Written communication is required so that your health updates are properly documented and can be taken into consideration when guiding your workouts. This allows Maike to support you in staying active and fit in a way that is appropriate and safe for your current condition. Please send written updates via email or text message to ensure your information is on record.
4. Exercise at Your Own Risk — During & After Sessions
Physical exercise carries inherent risks. By participating in any program, class, course, or using any content provided by Maike Mancuso Coaching, you acknowledge and accept these risks and agree that you exercise entirely at your own risk — both during and after any session or workout.
All programs, classes, and content include a range of modifications as well as options to progress at a higher intensity, increase resistance, or challenge yourself further. You are fully responsible for selecting the level, pace, and intensity that is appropriate for your body and current condition. Maike Mancuso Coaching cannot be held responsible for any injury, discomfort, adverse effect, or outcome that occurs as a result of a participant choosing a level of intensity or exertion beyond what is appropriate for their individual fitness level or health status.
This applies equally to what happens after a workout. Delayed onset muscle soreness, fatigue, dizziness, or any other post-exercise effects are part of the participant's personal responsibility. Maike Mancuso and anyone affiliated with Maike Mancuso Coaching bear no liability for anything that occurs following a session or as a result of physical exertion before, during, or after a workout.
You agree to:
• Arrive to every session properly nourished and well-hydrated. It is strongly recommended that you bring water to every session and remain adequately hydrated before, during, and after your workout.
• Ensure you have current medical clearance from your doctor before starting any program or class.
• Ensure your workout environment is safe before beginning any session — especially when working out at home. Clear your workout area of any obstacles, hazards, or tripping risks before you start.
• Set up your workout space and any equipment properly prior to beginning.
• Stop exercising immediately if you feel unwell, dizzy, short of breath, or experience any pain or discomfort in your body, and seek medical attention if needed.
• Use modifications appropriate to your current fitness level. Modifications are always available and encouraged — you are never expected to push beyond what is safe and appropriate for your body.
5. Workout Locations — Assumption of Environmental Risk
Maike Mancuso Coaching offers sessions and classes in a variety of environments, including but not limited to parks, outdoor spaces, gyms, studios, and clients' private homes. Each of these environments may present its own physical risks, including but not limited to uneven surfaces, tripping hazards, weather conditions, equipment, shared spaces, and other environmental factors that are outside of Maike Mancuso Coaching's control.
By agreeing to participate in a session or class at any location — whether indoors, outdoors, at a facility, or in your own home — you accept full responsibility and liability for the risks associated with that environment. This includes:
• Any risk of injury related to the physical surroundings of the chosen workout space.
• Tripping, slipping, or falling due to the condition of the surface, terrain, or any features of the space.
• Risks associated with shared spaces, other people, or equipment present at the location.
• Any risk that arises from the client's own home environment when sessions take place there.
Maike Mancuso and anyone affiliated with Maike Mancuso Coaching assume no liability for any injury, accident, or incident that occurs at or in connection with any workout location. You assume full responsibility for your own body and your autonomous movement through any space used for training.
6. Children at Classes — Safety & Responsibility
Maike Mancuso Coaching does not provide childcare services of any kind. We never supervise, watch, or take responsibility for children at any time.
Select in-person classes may permit children to accompany a participating parent or guardian. If children are allowed in a specific class, this will be communicated in advance. If you choose to bring your child to a class where children are permitted, the following applies:
• You assume full and complete responsibility for your child's health, safety, and well-being at all times.
• Children must be kept in a safe location — such as a car seat, stroller, or other appropriate and secure setting — that keeps them safely away from workout equipment, weights, mats, and all other moving parts of the class environment.
• You must be able to supervise your child while still participating in the class without requiring assistance from the instructor or other participants.
• Maike Mancuso Coaching, its owner, and any staff, instructors, or affiliated individuals bear zero liability for any incident, injury, or harm involving a child brought to a class.
7. Cancellation Policy — In-Person & Virtual Sessions
We value your time and the time of your coach. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies to all in-person and virtual personal training sessions and classes.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, you must contact Maike Mancuso at least 24 hours before your scheduled session or class start time. The most reliable way to reach us is:
• Text message — Text Maike Mancuso directly for a quick turnaround and to ensure your cancellation is acknowledged.
• Phone call — Calling is also accepted for cancellations.
Please note that email and social media messages are not considered reliable cancellation channels and may not be processed in time.
If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, arrive late and miss a significant portion of a session, or do not show up at all, the full value of that session or class will be forfeited. No refund, credit, or makeup session will be provided in these circumstances. The class or session will be considered used.
8. Digital Products — No Refund Policy
All digital products — including but not limited to workout programs, guides, plans, videos, courses, and any other downloadable or accessible digital content — are non-refundable. All sales are final.
Because it is not possible to verify whether a digital product has been accessed, downloaded, copied, or used once it has been delivered, no refunds will be issued under any circumstances after purchase.
Additionally, all digital products are for personal use only. By purchasing a digital product, you agree that you will not:
• Share, distribute, resell, or pass on any digital product to any third party.
• Copy, reproduce, or otherwise duplicate any content, in whole or in part.
• Share or transfer your personal access code, login, or link to any other individual.
If you experience technical difficulties accessing a digital product, please reach out to Maike Mancuso Coaching directly — we will do everything we can to resolve the issue promptly and ensure you have access to what you purchased.
If you have a concern or are dissatisfied with a digital product for any reason, we encourage you to reach out directly. We are always open to a conversation and will do our best to find a fair resolution, even though refunds cannot be issued.
9. Intellectual Property
All content created and shared by Maike Mancuso Coaching — including programs, workout plans, videos, written content, graphics, course materials, and all other content — is the intellectual property of Maike Mancuso Coaching. Unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, or sale of any content is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
10. Photo & Video Consent
During in-person or live virtual classes, photos or video may be taken for use on social media, marketing materials, or educational content. By participating in a class, you consent to being photographed or recorded unless you have notified Maike Mancuso Coaching in writing before the session that you do not wish to be included. Your preference will be respected.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Maike Mancuso Coaching, its owner, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be held liable for any injury, loss, damage, or adverse outcome — whether physical, financial, or otherwise — arising from participation in any class, program, or course, or from the use of any content or digital product, regardless of how or where it is accessed.
This limitation applies to in-person sessions, virtual sessions, all digital products and content, all workout locations, and all outcomes during and following exercise. It extends to any pre- or postnatal participant and any outcome affecting both the client and their baby.

Maike Mancuso Coaching reserves the right to update or revise these Terms & Conditions at any time. Any updates will be communicated and will take effect for new sign-ups and purchases from the date of publication.
