I, the undersigned Participant, am voluntarily participating in the above-described event, which includes physical exercise (Pilates and related fitness activities) and attendance at a public gathering. I understand that these activities involve inherent risks, hazards, and dangers, including but not limited to muscle injuries, falls, contact with other participants, equipment malfunction, and potential exposure to illnesses.

I accept and assume all risks of injury, illness, damage, or other loss arising from my participation, whether such risks are known or unknown to me. 2. Health and Safety Affirmation
I affirm that I am in good health and physically able to participate in the fitness activities.

In consideration of being allowed to participate, I hereby waive, release, and forever discharge The Well Society, LLC, its owners, members, employees, instructors, agents, volunteers, and the owners/operators of the event venue (collectively, “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, or causes of action for any injury, illness, death, or property damage arising out of or related to my participation in the event. This release applies even if such injury or damage is caused solely or in part by the negligence of the Released Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by law. I agree not to sue or make any claim against the Released Parties for any such loss or injury. I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Well Society and related parties from any claims made by others (such as rescue personnel or other participants) arising from my conduct during the event. 4.

I understand that The Well Society does not maintain on-site medical facilities. In the event of any injury or medical emergency during the event, I hereby authorize The Well Society and its staff to arrange or provide emergency medical assistance for me (including calling 911 or obtaining emergency medical care) as deemed necessary. I give permission to emergency responders and medical personnel to treat me if I am unable to consent.

I agree that The Well Society is not liable if I become ill following the event, and I will not hold the Released Parties responsible for any exposure or infection that may occur. I will not attend the event if I am feeling sick or have reason to believe I pose a contagion risk to others. 6. Photo/Video & Media Release
I understand that The Well Society and its representatives may photograph or video portions of the event, and that my likeness may appear in these images or recordings.
