1. Assumption of Risk

I, {name}, understand that exercise, strength training, and the use of fitness equipment are potentially hazardous activities. I acknowledge that participation carries inherent risks including, but not limited to:

• Minor and major physical injury

• Muscle strains, sprains, or tears

• Aggravation of pre-existing conditions

• Falls, equipment failure, or improper use

• In rare and extreme cases, serious injury or death

I further understand that physical responses to exercise cannot be predicted with complete accuracy. Possible effects may include high blood pressure, increased heart rate, altered heart function, and, in rare instances, cardiac complications.

By signing this agreement, I confirm that I am voluntarily participating with full knowledge and acceptance of these risks.

2. Medical Clearance

I acknowledge that:

• A comprehensive medical examination is strongly recommended prior to engaging in exercise or training programs.

• Consultation with a physician is advised to determine safe levels of activity.

• If I am under medical care for any injury, illness, or condition, I should obtain physician clearance before participating.

I confirm that either:

• I have had a physical examination within the past month and have been advised of appropriate activities, OR

• I voluntarily assume full responsibility for participating without such examination.

I further declare that I am physically fit and do not suffer from any condition that would prevent safe participation.

Anyone unable to make this declaration must notify gym ownership before using the facilities.
