Waiver

Liability Waiver 

 

As lawful consideration for being permitted by SQULPT Studio Pilates, LLC, (the “Owner”) to use or participate in any activity at SQULPT Studio Pilates, LLC (the “Studio”) or any other SQULPT STUDIO PILATES, LLC franchise, I, the undersigned, on behalf of myself and all persons and entities claiming by,  through or under me, acknowledge the inherent risks involved when using any type of fitness equipment located  at the Studio, as well as the training sessions and programs (collectively, the “Programs”) offered at or through  the Studio (or any other SQULPT STUDIO PILATES, LLC location) and agree to the following:  

 

1. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my  participation in the Programs. I represent and warrant that I have no medical condition that would  prevent my participation in the Program.  

 

2. I acknowledge and fully understand that I will be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious  injury, which may include permanent disability and even death, and severe social and economic  losses which might result not only from my actions, but also from the action, inaction, or negligence  of others, the condition of the Studio, or any equipment used, and further that there may be risks  not known to me or not reasonably foreseeable. I expressly assume and accept all risks of injury or  damage, including but not limited to heart attacks, muscle strains, muscle pulls, muscle tears, broken bones, shin splints, or any other illness or soreness, including death, which may occur in  connection with my participation in activities at the Studio or any other SQULPT STUDIO PILATES, LLC location.  

 

3. If I participate in any activity at any the Studio or affiliated with SQULPT STUDIO PILATES, LLC while pregnant, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the following information:   a.

I understand that participating in Programs or using the Studio while pregnant can  result in injury to me or to my unborn child, including but not limited to serious bodily  injuries to virtually all bones, joints, muscles, and internal organs, cardiac problems,  brain damage, illness, damage, or even death as a consequence, and that protective  equipment may be inadequate to prevent serious injury.   c. In addition, I understand that there are risks to the fetus associated with increased core  body temperatures that may occur with exercise, especially in the heat. I understand  that my ability to participate in classes at the Studio may also be compromised due to  changes in physiologic capacity and musculoskeletal issues unique to pregnancy.   d. If I am pregnant, become pregnant or I am post-natal or post-surgical, I verify that I  have my physician's approval to participate. I understand that I would not be allowed  to participate in Programs if participation were against my physician’s orders.  e. I understand that there may be additional risks that are unknown and unforeseeable at  this time.
