Self-Employed Personal Trainer or Training Services Contract
What this document covers
The Self-Employed Personal Trainer or Training Services Contract is a legal agreement that outlines the terms of employment between a personal trainer and an employer. This contract ensures both parties understand their rights and responsibilities while also including a release from liability that protects the employer from potential claims made by clients during training sessions.
