Your Client Commitment Contract
The Client Commitment Contract sets the tone for how seriously you approach your goals. It’s a structured way to hold yourself accountable, stay focused, and stay consistent, especially when things get challenging.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about taking ownership, showing up with intention, and staying honest with yourself every step of the way.
Inside the contract, you’ll find clear expectations for training, nutrition, recovery, and your personal mindset. Each section includes links to short videos or pages that explain the meaning behind what’s written, so you’re not just signing something, you’re understanding it.
Once you’ve worked through your personal plan and completed the supporting materials, print the contract, sign it and keep it visible.
This is your written promise to yourself.

CLIENT COMMITMENT CONTRACT
Note on Terminology
For the purposes of this agreement, the term “Client” is used to reflect the level of commitment, professionalism, and mutual respect expected throughout the program. This designation applies regardless of financial exchange and is intended to acknowledge the Client’s active participation and accountability within the Get Rid Regime framework.
This agreement is made between Coach Aaron & ………………………………………..
1. Purpose of Agreement
This agreement aims to establish a structured commitment between the Coach and the Client to achieve measurable fitness improvements in aerobic and anaerobic cardiovascular conditioning, muscular endurance, strength, and nutrition. This contract serves as a tool to ensure accountability and consistent effort toward advanced-level fitness benchmarks.
2. Barrier Identification and Resolution Plan
Barriers — whether physical, mental, or environmental — are the most common reason people fall off track. Identifying and preparing for these obstacles is essential for long-term success.
The Client agrees to complete the full Overcoming Barriers toolkit before signing this contract. This includes the self-guided Overcoming Barriers exercises, the Monthly Awareness Calendar, and the Weekly Reframing Planner. Together, these tools help the Client recognise likely challenges, track patterns over time, and build clear, personalised strategies to respond effectively and sustainably.
By signing this contract, the Client confirms they have reviewed their responses in the Overcoming Barriers exercises and are prepared to apply those strategies throughout the program.
Client acknowledgement: I understand that barriers are not an excuse for disengagement. Progress is expected to continue through adaptation and personal accountability.
I have completed the exercises honestly and will use them as a tool when challenges arise.

3. Nutrition & Weight Management
The Client acknowledges that nutrition plays a vital role in achieving fat loss, improved performance, and long-term resultsThe Client understands that nutrition is fundamental to achieving fat loss, enhancing performance, and supporting long-term health. The Get Rid Regime program addresses this through two key phases of nutritional development:
Phase 1: Nutrition Education (Nutrition Basics)
The Client agrees to review the educational materials provided on the “Nutrition Basics” page, which are essential to building nutritional awareness. These materials cover topics such as macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, calorie balance, and food quality. This foundational knowledge prepares the Client for practical implementation in Phase 2.
A 7-Day Food Diary PDF is also provided and must be completed as a pre-method awareness tool.
Phase 2: Nutritional Method Framework (How to Start Eating Healthy)
Upon completing Phase 1, the Client shall proceed through the structured, five-method nutritional framework designed to develop sustainable eating habits. The methods must be followed in the exact order listed below, without skipping, rearranging, or independently selecting methods:
- Whole Food Swaps
- Portion Control
- Mindful Eating
- Intermittent Fasting (if applicable)
- Calorie Tracking
This fixed progression ensures habits are developed at an appropriate pace, laying the groundwork for long-term success rather than short-term fixes.
Associated tools and resources, including the Healthy Food Swaps PDF and Mindful Eating Checklist, shall be used at the appropriate stage to support application of each method.
Tracking & Accountability
The Client agrees to actively track their adherence to each method using the recommended tools (e.g., visual guides, checklists, reflection exercises, or digital trackers). Ongoing tracking is essential to assess progress and adjust strategies where necessary. Failure to engage in tracking may affect the effectiveness of the program.
4. Alcohol Consumption
The Client agrees to minimise alcohol intake, understanding that excessive consumption negatively impacts fat loss, recovery, hormone balance, and training performance. As a guideline, alcohol intake should be limited to no more than two standard servings per week to support optimal results.
Client acknowledgement: I acknowledge that my results will be directly shaped by the food and drink I choose to consume. Poor nutrition and excessive alcohol will slow my fat loss, weaken my recovery, and undermine my training. I take full responsibility for what I put into my body. I will fuel myself with purpose, not convenience, and I will limit alcohol intake to support my physical performance and mental clarity.

5. Performance Objectives & Measurable Goals
The Client commits to working towards the upper-end benchmarks in the following fitness categories:
1. Cardiovascular Conditioning
Assessments:
1-Mile Rockport Walk Target: Excellent on Rockport Score Chart (for those unable to complete the 12-minute Cooper run)
12-Minute Cooper Run Target: Stage 5 (for your age and gender) on the Cooper Run score chart
Heart Rate Recovery (HRR): Target 50+ BPM drop within 1 minute
Resting Heart Rate (RHR): Target 40-60 BPM
2. Muscular Endurance
Assessments:
Push-Up Test (max reps): Target: Stage 5 (for your age and gender) on the Push-Ups score chart
Sit-Ups Test (max reps): Target: Stage 5 (for your age and gender) on the Sit-Ups score chart
Wall Sit Test Target: Stage 5 (for your age and gender) on the Wall-Sit score chart
Plank Test Target: Stage 5 on the Plank Test score chart
6. Non-Exercise Activity (NEAT) Commitment
The Client acknowledges that habits outside the gym significantly impact fat loss. Prolonged sitting, low daily step counts, and inactivity lower Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), slowing progress even with regular training.
The Client agrees to maintain daily physical activity by selecting enjoyable activities that feel natural and sustainable, such as recreational sports, walking, dancing, or active commuting. If no preferred activity is available on a given day, the Client will complete a 30-minute brisk walk (approximately 3,000 steps) to support energy output and maintain progress.
Client-Selected Activities for Daily Movement:
(Write at least two preferred activities you enjoy and will commit to including in your weekly routine.)

7. Injury Prevention
The Client agrees to prioritise flexibility, mobility, and recovery training to reduce the risk of injury, enhance movement efficiency, and support overall performance. This commitment includes:
Ensuring proper stretches and cooldowns are completed after all training sessions.
Completing a 5–7 minute warm-up before each training session to prepare the body for exercise and minimise injury risk.
Performing a 20–30 minute full-body developmental stretch at least once per week.
Engaging in daily 10–15 minute maintenance stretches throughout the week to preserve flexibility and mobility.
Rest Days: During the initial stages of training, the client may take a maximum of 3-4 rest days per week. When the Client demonstrates consistent progress—such as improved performance test scores, faster recovery between sessions, and sustained workout completion without excessive fatigue—they are encouraged to voluntarily reduce rest days to 2 per week to accelerate results.
Client acknowledgement: I understand that achieving results requires more than just showing up to workouts. I take full ownership of my performance goals, my recovery, and the daily habits that influence fat loss. I will track my progress, stay active outside the gym, and treat recovery as part of the work—not a break from it. I accept that injury prevention, mobility work, and consistent effort across all areas are not optional—they are part of the standard. My success depends on the discipline I apply, both during training and in the choices I make when no one is watching.

The Client acknowledges and agrees to the following:
Flexible Training Methods: The Client understands that training will be adapted to optimise results, incorporating aerobic and anaerobic cardio, muscle endurance and strength resistance training as necessary.
Tracking & Progress Reviews: The Client will complete performance assessments every 4 weeks to independently measure progress and evaluate areas for improvement.
Mindset & Accountability: The Client agrees to push past mental barriers, embrace discomfort, and remain fully committed to the training plan.
Self-Monitoring: The Client is responsible for tracking their own challenges, injuries, and progress, and making appropriate adjustments using the tools provided.

- I will take full responsibility for my results and effort.
11. Commitment Pledge
