RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that physical exercise and training, including the use of Pilates equipment, apparatuses, and participation in studio programs (collectively, “Training”), is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, and property damage. I acknowledge that these risks may result or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Studio, its instructors, or others. I understand that although the Studio will endeavor to reduce the risk of injury from Training, the Studio cannot guarantee that I will not be injured. Clients understand that Pilates utilizes heavy spring-loaded apparatuses (including but not limited to Reformers, Towers, Chairs, and Cadillacs), and clients voluntarily assume all inherent physical risks associated with this equipment.
NOTWITHSTANDING THESE RISKS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN TRAINING. I AGREE TO ASSUME ALL RISKS OF ILLNESS, PERSONAL INJURY, PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY, PAIN, SUFFERING, DISABILITY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING THEREFROM, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE STUDIO OR OTHERWISE.
I waive and release all claims, now known or hereafter known, against the Studio and its instructors on account of personal or psychological injury, illness, pain, suffering, disability, death, property damage, or financial loss arising out of or attributable to Training, whether arising out of the ordinary negligence of the Studio or otherwise. I agree not to make or bring any such claim against the Studio, and forever release and discharge the Studio from liability under such claims.
I confirm that I am in good health and proper physical condition and do not have any medical or other conditions that would impair my ability to participate in Training and I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of the instructors at all times during Training. If at any time I believe that I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in Training, I will immediately discontinue further Training. If a client becomes medically disabled or passes away, they are completely relieved from making further contract payments.
I hereby consent to receive medical treatment deemed necessary if I am injured or require medical attention during Training. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs related to such medical treatment and any related medical transportation and evacuation. I release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the Studio from any claim based on such treatment or other medical services.
This release may not be orally modified and constitutes the entire agreement of the Studio and me with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If any term or provision of this release is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, all other terms or provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
BY SIGNING, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS RELEASE AND THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE THE STUDIO.
