I declare that I am over 18 years of age (or have otherwise provided parental consent) and acknowledge and understand that I have voluntarily chosen to participate in the classes and activities offered by ĀSANA PILATES.

I acknowledge and agree that the workouts are a recreational sports activity and may involve strenuous physical activity including, but not limited to stretches, lifts, use of props, use of reformer machines, gymnastic movements, strenuous bodyweight exercises and other activities. I am not obliged to perform, nor am I obliged to participate in any activity that I do not wish to do, and it is my right to refuse such participation at any time during classes.

I understand that there are inherent risks in all aspects of physical exercise and I acknowledge that I have been informed of the possible strenuous nature of training. I agree that prior to my participation I will inform ĀSANA PILATES of any known medical conditions or factors that may place me at risk. ĀSANA PILATES may request a medical release from my medical practitioner prior to participation. I will inform ĀSANA PILATES of any symptoms before, during, and after participation in a class.

I accept full responsibility for my health and wellbeing during any type of exercise at ĀSANA PILATES.

I release ĀSANA PILATES, its staff, employees, and agents from any and all liability for any loss, damage, injury, or expense that I or my next of kin may suffer as a result of participation. I knowingly waive the right to a jury trial and the right to punitive damages.

I agree to hold harmless and indemnify ĀSANA PILATES and its employees and agents from any and all liability for any damage to the property of, or personal injury to, any third party, resulting from my participation. If any portion of this agreement is held invalid, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
