community agreements

At sgoldtraining, I take the comfort, well-being, and safety of my members very seriously. It is for this reason that I ask all members to read and consent to the following community agreements. These agreements have been adapted from those at Positive Force Movement in Rochester, NY. 

• I agree to respect other members and my Trainer.

• I agree not to touch anyone without their consent.

• I agree to honor and use people’s correct gender pronouns and names.

• I agree to refrain from talking negatively about bodies - mine or anyone else’s- and from making comments about body shape, size, or weight.

• I agree to be mindful of making assumptions or judgements based on body size, gender, age, presentation, or ability.

• I agree to keep an open mind.

• I agree to assume good intent.

• I agree to use I statements when speaking about myself.

• I agree to refrain from invalidating people’s experiences.

• I agree to hold myself accountable for words or actions that harm other community members and/or my Trainer.

• I agree to respect the confidentiality of other members and my Trainer.

• I agree to take precautions to keep our community free of outbreak due to COVID-19 by getting vaccinated, wearing a mask for in-person sessions, physical distancing around other members, and notifying my Trainer of any symptoms of illness in advance of an in-person session.
