PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING
I, the undersigned, hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions in consideration of being permitted to participate in fitness training sessions, bootcamp classes, and related activities ("Activities") provided by Rise and Shine Fitness ("the Company"):
1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I understand and acknowledge that participation in physical fitness activities, including but not limited to outdoor bootcamp training, carries inherent risks, dangers, and hazards. These risks include, but are not limited to: muscle strains, sprains, tears, and pulls; bone fractures and breaks; joint injuries; cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke; heat-related illness; hypothermia; dehydration; slips, trips, and falls; injuries from exercise equipment or the outdoor environment; and in extreme cases, permanent disability or death.
2. VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION: I confirm that my participation in all Activities is entirely voluntary. I understand that I am free to withdraw from any activity at any time if I feel unwell, experience pain, or am otherwise unable to continue safely.
3. PHYSICAL CONDITION: I confirm that I am physically fit and have no medical conditions that would prevent my safe participation in fitness activities, or I have obtained medical clearance from my physician. I agree to inform the Company immediately of any changes to my health status.
4. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY: In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Rise and Shine Fitness, its owners, officers, employees, instructors, agents, and representatives (collectively "Releasees") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action whatsoever arising out of or relating to any loss, damage, injury, or death that may be sustained by me, or to any property belonging to me, while participating in the Activities, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE.
5. INDEMNIFICATION: I agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or costs, including court costs and legal fees, that may be incurred due to my participation in the Activities, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE.
6. MEDICAL TREATMENT: I hereby consent to receive any medical treatment that may be deemed necessary in the event of injury, accident, or illness during the Activities. I understand that I am solely responsible for all costs associated with such medical treatment.
7. OUTDOOR TRAINING: I understand that bootcamp sessions take place outdoors in varying weather conditions and terrain. I accept the additional risks associated with outdoor training, including but not limited to uneven ground, wet or slippery surfaces, exposure to weather elements, insects, and other environmental hazards.
7A. TRAINING STYLE AND INTENSITY: I understand that Rise and Shine Fitness is not a static bootcamp. It is based loosely on a military physical training system whereby participants are almost constantly moving. However, it is not delivered in a military style—our instructors are positive and encouraging, and the mood is more like that of a playground. I acknowledge that there are no ground mats provided, and there are no scheduled water breaks during the session. I understand I should bring water but will not be able to drink it until the end of the session unless required for medical reasons. I accept this training format and agree to participate at my own pace within my physical capabilities.
8. PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO, AND SOCIAL MEDIA CONSENT (MANDATORY): I understand and agree that participation in Rise and Shine Fitness activities includes giving my consent for photographs, videos, and images of me taken during sessions to be used by the Company for promotional purposes, including but not limited to social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.), advertising, marketing materials, and the Company website. This consent is a mandatory condition of participation. I understand that these images may be shared publicly and I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished product or any written copy that may be used in connection with such images. I release the Company from any claims related to the use of my image.
9. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING: I have read this Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risk agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
10. BINDING EFFECT: This agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.
