It is necessary that all clients are fit for their training sessions. This means being free from taking any medication that may warn of drowsiness or impair your driving performance.
It is recommended alcohol is not consumed the evening before a session. Please be aware that each unit takes a minimum of one hour to be processed from the blood system.
