PAR Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire)
When you take part in any fitness activity at a City facility you will be asked to complete a PAR Q questionnaire (below) or read the large poster version of the form at your facility. This form is designed to identify people for whom a change in physical activity may pose a risk. If you answer YES to any PAR Q questions, you are advised to see your doctor prior to participating.
