This includes, without limitation, injuries or damages that may result from misusing fitness equipment, overtraining, overexertion, and/or any other improper or negligent act or instruction, whether related to the Activities or not. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or the Released Parties, and forever release and discharge the Company and the Released Parties from liability under such claims. This release does not extend to claims for gross negligence, intentional or reckless misconduct, or any other liabilities that California law does not permit to be released by agreement.
I acknowledge that the Company offers a service to its clients encompassing the entire recreational and/or fitness spectrum and that the Activities may not be specifically tailored to me or to where I am on the fitness spectrum. I hereby release the Company and the Released Parties from any duty of reasonable care to protect me from injury or damage.

I hereby authorize the Company to secure, and I consent to, any medical treatment that may be given to me should the Company determine, in its sole discretion, that I need medical care, as a result of my being on the premises or from participating in the Activities. I accept full responsibility for all costs related to my medical treatment, including any transport costs, and I release all parties involved from any type of liability for anything that may happen during my treatment or transport.

At the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may provide treats, toys, water, and pet beds for my pets to consume and use, but I acknowledge and agree that I allow my pets to consume and use such items at my own risk. I further agree to the best of my ability, to have my pets relieve themselves prior to entering the premises or prior to me participating in the Activities.

Furthermore, I agree that if I later become aware that any of my pets were or potentially were ill, infected, or exposed to a disease/illness/condition that is contagious to animals or humans, I will immediately contact the Company and provide the relevant information.
