Waiver of Liability and Prospective Release Form for Studio Pilates International

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 Studio Pilates International.

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 strenuous activities that I am not obliged to perform, nor am I obliged to participate in any activity that I do not wish to do, and that 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 Studio Pilates International of any known medical conditions or factors that may place me at risk. Studio Pilates International may request a medical release from my medical practitioner prior to participation. I will inform Studio Pilates International of any symptoms before, during and after participation in a Studio Pilates International class.

I also understand that if I am a prenatal or postnatal client, that I must consult with my physician and receive clearance to perform physical exercise.

I agree to hold harmless and indemnify Studio Pilates International 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 in any program, activity or service provided by Studio Pilates International. If any portion of this agreement is held invalid, I agree that the remainder of the agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
