special notes:
1
Exercise-to-music programme is defined as the complete
exercise-to-music function within a fitness or recreation
centre including freestanding classes, classes using
portable equipment such as steps or slides or free
weights, and circuit classes using fixed equipment. In
using this definition, it should be recognised that
responsibility for standard fixed exercise equipment may
be located elsewhere than in the exercise-to-music
programme, even if exercise-to-music participants are
the main users.
2
Competence in this unit standard may be demonstrated
in simulated situations related to an existing fitness
and/or recreation facility or enterprise. If this unit
standard is being assessed in an on-job situation, then
the references to simulated situations may be
considered redundant except in respect of emergency
procedures.
3
Competence in this unit standard requires knowledge
of the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act
1993 (CGA) as they relate to the provision of services.
In particular, in supplying a service, the supplier
guarantees: that they will exercise reasonable care and
skill; that the service and any resulting product is fit for
any particular purpose indicated by the supplier or by
the client; that the service will be completed within a
reasonable time; and, where the price or method of
setting the price has not been set, no more than a
reasonable price will be charged.
