Registration Information and Policies

Commitment: By registering for a 6-week session, you, as the student, are making a commitment to your health. Please do your very best to attend every class of your session. Keeping your commitment will help you to reach your fitness and artistic goals in the gym, Spokane Aerial Performance Arts.

Length of Sessions: Six weeks make up one session. Most classes last 60 minutes. Students may sign up for 1, 2 or 3 classes per week by choosing each class day and time offered (see attached class schedule).

Punctuality: Students must be ready to train at the time specified. Students shall also be attired as discussed below. Since warm up time is essential for your safety, students arriving more than 10 minutes late for class will not be admitted to class.

Attire: Students must wear comfortable workout attire, including, but not limited to, clean t-shirts, athletic shorts, leotards, and tights (see detailed attire below).

It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor of any discomfort or pain arising from or during exercise, as well as, any and all other known limitations the student has or experiences so that the instructor may accommodate the student and substitute another exercise to work that particular muscle group. Although students are attending the aerial conditioning class with other students, individual adaptations can easily be made for different levels of fitness and strength.

Payment: Payment is required in advance of the Session. Online registration and payment are available. It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to register and pay in advance in order to reserve his/her place in the upcoming session and class.

Release from Liability and Indemnity Agreement

Participant Agreement, Release from Liability and Assumption of Risk. In consideration of the services of Spokane Aerial Performance Arts LLC, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as "SAPA"), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge SAPA, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and estate as follows: I acknowledge that my participation in circus arts training and instruction and other various disciplines entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: slips and falls; falling from equipment; rope burns; pinches, scrapes, twists and jolts that could result in scratches, bruises, sprains, lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even more severe life threatening hazards; strains, cuts, bruises, muscle soreness and fractures; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back; injuries to internal organs; the negligence of other people; my own physical condition; and the risk of emotional and psychological injuries or physical damage associated with this activity. Traveling to and from shows, meets and exhibitions raises the possibility of any manner of transportation accidents. In any event, if you or your child is injured, you or your child may require medical assistance, at your own expense. Furthermore, SAPA employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless SAPA from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of SAPA's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of SAPA. Should SAPA or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have. In the event that I file a lawsuit against SAPA, I agree to do so solely in the state of Washington, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect. I understand that this Release Agreement is a legally binding contract and shall remain in effect for the duration of my or my children's participation in Spokane Aerial Performance Art's activities. This Release agreement shall bind my heirs, personal representatives, assigns and all members of my family, including minors. By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against SAPA on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms. *

Soreness and Stiffness

Aerial work is a highly intense fitness program. Expect to be sore after class. Soreness should last 2-3 days, and typically occurs in the fingers, forearms, back, and abs. If soreness lasts longer than 5 days, consider taking a break until completely healed. Even if new students are in good shape, as with any new movement practice, they will probably still experience soreness. Aerial work is a unique fitness program because it introduces the body to the instability of suspension. The body must strengthen all the tiny stabilizer muscles that don't normally get used. Expect to experience soreness regularly after class for about 4-6 weeks. Calluses are normal on the palms and fingers. *

I HAVE READ AND AGREE

I DO NOT AGREE

Parent(s) or court-appointed legal guardian(s) must sign for any participating minor (those under 18 years of age) and agree that they and the minor are subject to all the terms of this document, as set forth above.
