LIABILITY RELEASE
I understand, acknowledge and agree that the Athletic Edge facility located at 3103 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60657 (the “Facility”) is independently owned and operated by Kyle Blust (“Owner”).
I understand and acknowledge that by participating in any activity at the Facility, including fitness classes, I face the inherent risk of property damage and bodily injury, including, but not limited to, heart attacks, muscle strains, torn ligaments, pulls or tears, broken bones, shin splints, heart attack, heart prostration, knee/lower back/foot injuries, paralysis and any other illness, soreness, or injury however caused, occurring during or after my participation in the physical activities. I further acknowledge that such risks include, but are not limited to, injuries caused by the negligence of an instructor or other person, defective or improperly used equipment, over-exertion, slip and fall and other unknown problems/causes.
I agree to hold the Owner, the Facility, and their respective members, managers, employees, directors, independent contractors and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims for bodily injury, property damage, economic loss or any other damages sustained by me: (a) in, on or about the Facility whether related to exercise or not, or (b) in connection with any activity promoted, hosted, taught or coached by the Owner. I am encouraged to stop participating if I experience any pain, soreness, injuries, symptoms or illness. I assume all risks of participating virtually, including the risks arising from premises or surroundings not within the control of the Owner (including but not limited to obstacles, pets, children, trip hazards, low ceilings, and uneven or slippery surfaces).
As consideration for the use of the Facility, equipment, or the teaching/coaching services otherwise provided, I agree to assume all risk and responsibility involved with participation in the physical activities. By participating, I represent that I am in good physical condition and do not suffer from any disability that would prevent or limit participation in the physical activities. I acknowledge participation will be physically and mentally challenging, and I agree that it is my responsibility to seek competent medical or other professional advice regarding any concerns or questions as to my ability to take part in physical activities. I agree to assume all risk and responsibility for not exceeding my physical limits.
BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, I DO HEREBY FOREVER DISCHARGE AND RELEASE THE FACILITY AND THE OWNER FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY TYPE, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH MAY OCCUR TO ME, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO MY USE OF THE FACILITY, THE EQUIPMENT, OR ANY ACTIVITY SPONSORED BY THE FACILITY, WHETHER RELATED TO EXERCISE OR NOT.
I agree to this release and hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner, the facility and, and their respective members, managers, employees, officers, directors, agents and independent contractors for any and all claims brought by me against the facility or the Owner. I further expressly agree that the foregoing release, waiver, and indemnity provision is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by all applicable laws and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force. I have read this release, waiver and indemnity provision, and agree that no oral representations, statements, or inducement apart from this Agreement have been made to me.
