Assumption of Risk

I acknowledge that I know, understand, and am respectful of the inherent risks associated with exercise and am especially aware of those risks that are prevalent when utilizing health, fitness and wellness focused facilities and equipment and also in participating in all forms of health club and studio activities. At Midtown Yoga, these activities may include (but are not limited to) strength, functional, cardiovascular and flexibility training. Some of these activities can involve quick movements involving changes of speed and direction, strenuous exertions of strength utilizing various muscles, and activities that place stress on the cardiovascular system. Some activities will be conducted in an environment between 80-105 degrees Fahrenheit, and activities performed at these temperatures may cause an increase in heart rate. I clearly understand that theses risks from physical activity range from minor to major skin wounds, muscular strains, sprains and tears, broken bones, eye injury or loss, concussions, paralysis, heart attacks and even death. These physical injuries can be bone/joint related, muscle related, or related to the cardiovascular and/or respiratory system. I have read the aforementioned sentences on the risks of exercise and I understand the nature of the activities at Midtown Yoga. I know the physical demands of those activities relative to my physical condition and skill level, and I acknowledge the types of injuries which may occur as a result of the activities I choose to take part in at Midtown Yoga. By the execution of this agreement, I fully assume responsibility in relation to the inherent risks associated with health club use and assert that my participation is voluntary.
