Junior Members Policy and Parental Consent Form (Gyms and Fitness Facilities)

About this document

What it’s for

More gyms now offer junior memberships and teenage sessions, which bring extra responsibilities. This policy sets out the age bands, what each age group can do, the supervision required, and how you keep juniors safe, with a consent form for parents and carers to sign.

When to use it

  • If you allow anyone under 18 to use your facilities, including as a guest
  • For teen gym sessions, school holiday programmes and junior classes
  • Alongside your safeguarding policy

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  1. Purpose
  2. Age bands
  3. Joining and induction
  4. Equipment and training
  5. Safeguarding
  6. Changing rooms and phones
  7. Arrival and collection
  8. Behaviour

How to complete it

  • Set the age bands and restrictions to suit your facilities and insurance
  • Make sure the parental consent form is signed before a junior’s induction
  • Train staff on the supervision rules and the safeguarding policy

Key points to check

  • Check your insurer’s minimum ages and supervision requirements
  • Resistance training for young people can be safe and beneficial when properly supervised – focus on technique rather than load
