Liability Waiver
General Statement of Program Objectives and Procedures:
I understand that this physical fitness program includes 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 lose fat with an increase in weight of muscle and bone). Exercise may include aerobic activities (treadmill, walking, running, bicycle riding, rowing, group aerobic activity, swimming and other aerobic activities), calisthenic exercises, weightlifting 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, lungs, and blood vessel system to exercise cannot always be predicted with accuracy. I know there is a risk of certain abnormal changes occurring during or following exercise which may include abnormalities of blood pressure or heart attacks. Use of the weightlifting equipment and engaging in heavy body calisthenics may lead to musculoskeletal strains, pain and injury if adequate warm-up, gradual progression, and safety procedures are not followed. I understand that {SchoolName} or its agents shall not be liable for any damages arising from personal injuries sustained by the participant during or after the PERSONAL TRAINING PROGRAM / CARDIO TRAINING PROGRAM. Participant using the exercise equipment during the PERSONAL TRAINING PROGRAM / CARDIO TRAINING PROGRAM does so at his/her own risk. Participant assumes full responsibility for any injuries or damages which may occur during or after training.
I hereby fully and forever release and discharge seller, its assigns and agents from all claims, demands, damages, rights of action, present and future therein.
I understand and warrant, release and agree that I am in good physical condition and that I have no disability, impairment or ailment preventing me from engaging in active or passive exercise that will be detrimental to heart, safety or comfort, or physical condition if I engage or participate .
I state that I have had a recent physical checkup and have my personal physicians’ permission to engage in aerobic and/or anaerobic conditioning.
Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.
The Club K.O. Inc. (“the Club”) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the Club cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending the Club could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the Club and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Club may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Club employees, volunteers, and class/personal training participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my/their attendance at the Club or participation in Club programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Club, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Club, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Club program.
Description of Potential Benefits:
I understand that a program of regular exercise for the heart, lungs, muscles and joints has many benefits associated with it. These may include a decrease in body fat, improvement in blood fats and blood pressure, improvement in physiological function, and decrease in risk in heart disease.
I have read the foregoing information and understand it. Any questions that may have occurred to me have been answered to my satisfaction.
If I am signing on behalf of a minor, I consent as the legal parent/guardian of the participant.
