WAIVER AND RELEASE FORM
This is an important legal document which explains the risks you are assuming by beginning an exercise program. It is crucial that you read and understand it completely. The undersigned has volunteered to participate in a program of physical exercise under the direction of Olivia Figueroa, DBA “LivFitness”, which may include, but not limited to, weight and/ or resistance training. You are solely responsible for determining whether you are physically and mentally fit and/or adequately skilled to participate in LivFitness activities and/or classes and use Fitness Equipment. Risks from participating in LivFitness activities and/or classes may be aggravated if you are pregnant, suffer from an underlying medical condition, take medication, smoke cigarettes, have a family history of coronary disease, or have recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment. Accordingly, it is your responsibility to consult a physician before undertaking any fitness activity. It is also your responsibility to determine, during your participation in LivFitness activities and/or classes, whether you should discontinue your participation in such activities or take any other actions to protect your health or safety.
WARNING OF RISK FROM FITNESS ACTIVITIES
Aerobic and other fitness activities such as indoor cycling, running, or jogging, plyometrics, yoga, floor and barre exercises, passive/resistive weight training, use of stair machines, treadmills, rowing machines, free weights, and other training devices are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of the participant.
Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, and conditioning, participation in fitness activities involves a risk of serious injury. All hazards and dangers cannot be foreseen.
Depending on the particular activity, certain risks, dangers and injuries due to overexertion, lack of hydration, improper technique, ignoring safety precautions, failing to properly follow instructions, slips and falls, unfamiliarity with the equipment and/or exercise, equipment failure, failure in supervision/instruction, premises defects and other risks inherent to the particular activity exist. Nonetheless, you hereby agree to assume all risks of your participation in LivFitness activities and/or classes, whether known or unknown to you.
Depending upon a person’s physical condition, age and/or skill level, fitness activities can involve a substantial risk of the following types of injuries, among others: (i) heart attack, stroke and circulatory problems, (ii) bone and joint injuries, (iii) back and neck injuries, (iv) shin splints, (v) muscle strain and other muscle injuries, (vi) foot problems, (vii) psychological injury, pain or suffering, (viii) disfigurement, (ix) temporary or permanent disability (including paralysis), (x) death or (xi) economic loss. In addition, a very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear on LivFitness Equipment. Seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should immediately stop exercising and consult a doctor.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
It is the responsibility of all participants to have a complete physical examination by a medical doctor prior to beginning any activity. If a participant has, or has a history of, any of the conditions listed in the “YOUR RESPONSIBILITY” section of this document, he/she should consult a physician before participating in any fitness activity. If the applicant has chosen not to obtain a physician’s permission prior to beginning this exercise program with Olivia Figueroa, they hereby agree that they are doing so at their own risk. In any event, they acknowledge and agree that they assume the risks associated with any and all activities and/or exercise in which they participate.
