In consideration for being provided access to and use of the Premises, each person signing below hereby stipulates and agrees:

1. Use of Premises. I understand and agree that I may only use the Premises for the purposes set forth in this Release and Waiver of Liability agreement or as provided for in the Premises. I further agree that I am responsible for the proper use and care of the Premises and any of Company’s property thereon, and that I will be liable for the replacement cost of any Company property which is damaged, destroyed or lost. I also agree to clean up the Premises after I am done using the Premises as permitted in this agreement and to restore the Premises to the same condition in which it was provided to me. I acknowledge that the Company makes no representation as to the condition of the Premises or the safety of any structures or equipment that may be used at the Premises. I accept and shall use the Premises in its “AS IS” condition. I acknowledge and agree that I am not relying upon any representation or statement by the Company or the Company’s employees, agents, or representatives regarding this agreement or the Premises, except to the extent such representations are expressly set forth in this agreement.

2. Unattended Access: I recognize that I may be attending the Premises and using the Premises’s equipment at times when the Premises is unattended or unsupervised by Premises staff or other members. 

3. Acknowledgement of Danger. I am fully aware that exercise and fitness activities are of a nature and kind that are extremely strenuous. I understand and acknowledge that the activities that take place on the Premises may be dangerous and may involve the risk that I will sustain injuries that include, but are not limited to the following: (1) PHYSICAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH including minor injuries and major injuries such as joint and back injuries, broken bones, concussions, rhabdomyolysis, musculoskeletal injuries, cardiovascular injuries, heart attack, stroke, brain injury, and injury to my fetus (if pregnant); (2) exposure to, and sickness from, infections, viruses, bacteria and disease, including but not limited to, COVID-19; and (3) property damage. I further understand that I may have exposure to the natural elements that could cause sunburn, dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and heat cramps, and I assume and accept all risks associated with heat related ailments. I understand that injuries can occur because of the condition of the premises and land surrounding the premises, and that the land surrounding the premises may pose such dangerous conditions due to snakes, insects, spiders, ditches, erosions, sharp rocks, culverts, fallen trees, branches, snow, mud, or other natural and man-made hazards. I understand that I willingly accept the risk related to sudden and unforeseen mal-functioning of any equipment; slipping and/or falling while in the Premises, or on adjacent sidewalks and parking areas; and accidents or injuries which occur within the Premises, such as locker rooms, dressing rooms, showers, offices, and fitness areas.

4.

6. Release from Liability. In full consideration of the above mentioned risks and hazards and in full consideration of the fact that I am, on behalf of myself, my heirs and my personal representatives, willingly and voluntarily participating in self-administered activities using the equipment or facilities, and with my full understanding of all of the above, I hereby waive, release, remise, discharge and release Company and its owners, agents, officers, principals, employees, independent contractors and volunteers (“Released Parties”) of any and all liability, claims, demands, action or rights of actions, or damages of any kind related to, arising from, or in any way connected with, my participation in physical training or my use of the equipment or the premises. I hereby agree, to fully and forever discharge from any and all claims I may have or hereinafter have for any injury, temporary or permanent disability, death, damages, liabilities, expenses and/or causes of action, now known or hereinafter known in any jurisdiction in the world, attributable or relating in any manner to my entry upon and use of the Premises, whether caused by the negligence of the Company or any of the Released Parties or by any other reason.

15. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by or asserted against any of the Released Parties as a result of my use of the Company’s facilities, equipment, or services; my use of the Company facilities, equipment, or services, including during unsupervised access or open gym periods; my breach of any term, covenant, or condition of this Waiver or any rules or policies of the Company; any negligent or willful act or omission of mine or my guests while on the Company’s premises; any injury, illness, or death sustained by me or my guests while using the Company's facilities, equipment, or services, except to the extent directly caused by the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
