Acknowledgement of Risk and Waiver of Liability I voluntarily assume the risk of injury, accident, death, loss, cost or damage to my person or property which might arise from my use of the gym, and I agree to hold harmless and release the gym and all affiliated corporations, and its officers, directors, board members, agents, employees, representatives, executors, and all others from any and all liability. I also release all of those mentioned and any others acting on their behalf from any responsibility or liability for any injury or damage to myself including those caused by the negligent act or omission of any of those mentioned or others acting on their behalf or in any way arising out of or connected with my participation in any activities or the use of any equipment at the gym during staffed or non-staffed hours.
General Statement of Program Objectives and Procedures I understand that a physical fitness program may include exercises to build the cardio-respiratory system (heart and lungs), the musculoskeletal system (muscle endurance, strength and flexibility), and to improve body composition (decrease of body fat in individuals needing to loose fat, with an increase in muscle and bone). Exercise may include treadmill walking/running, bicycle riding, rowing machine exercise, other such activities, weight lifting to improve muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility exercises to improve joint range of motion.
Description of Potential Risks I understand that the reaction of the heart, lung, and blood vessel system to such exercise cannot always be predicted with accuracy. I know there is a risk of certain abnormal changes occurring during or during exercise, which may include abnormalities of blood pressure or heart rate, in effect of functioning of the heart, and in rare instances heart attacks. Use of the weight lifting equipment, and engaging in heavy body calisthenics, can lead to musculoskeletal strains, pain, and injury if adequate warm-up, gradual progression, and safety procedures are not followed.
Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Becoming more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their Doctor before they start becoming much more physically active. If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now.
I certify that I am in good physical health, and I am able to undertake and engage in the range of physical activities in which I choose to participate at the gym. I assume all responsibility for updating the facility with respect to any changes in my physical or mental condition and for reporting all injuries sustained at the facility to the gym staff. I understand and am aware that strength, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic exercise, including the use of any equipment, is a potentially hazardous activity. I also understand that fitness activities involve a risk of injury and even death and that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and using equipment with knowledge of all the dangers involved. I do hereby agree to expressly assume and accept any and all risks of injury or death either accidental or otherwise. This waiver, release and indemnification agreement includes, without limitation, all injuries which may occur as a result of (a) my use of all amenities and equipment in the facility and my participation in any class, activity or personal training, (b) sudden unforeseen malfunctioning of any equipment and (c) my slipping or falling while in the facility, on the facility premises, including adjacent sidewalks and parking areas. I acknowledge that I have carefully read this waiver, release and indemnification agreement and fully understand that it is a full and complete release of all liability.
