WAIVER, RELEASE OF LIABILITY & ASSUMPTION OF RISK

1. Acknowledgment of Risks

I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in Pilates and fitness activities, including studio classes, personal training, and use of Pilates equipment offered by Red Maple Movement Studio and its instructor(s) (collectively, "Red Maple Movement").

I understand that physical exercise carries inherent risks of injury or death, including but not limited to:

• Muscle strains, sprains, tears, and tendonitis
• Bone fractures and joint injuries
• Back, spine, and neck injuries
• Cardiovascular stress, heart attack, or stroke
• Dizziness, fainting, or loss of consciousness
• Dehydration and heat exhaustion
• Aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions
• Falls or equipment-related injuries
• Any other unforeseen injuries related to physical activity

These risks exist even when activities are conducted properly and all reasonable precautions are taken.

2. Health Declaration

I confirm that I am in good physical health and capable of participating in Pilates and fitness activities. I have assessed my own physical condition and believe I am capable of safely participating in the activities offered at Red Maple Movement.

I certify that I do not have any medical conditions, injuries, or physical limitations that would prevent my safe participation, except as disclosed in my registration information. I accept full responsibility for assessing my own fitness and for informing my instructor of any relevant health changes.

I understand that Red Maple Movement does not provide medical advice. I am encouraged to consult my physician before beginning any new exercise programme, particularly if I have pre-existing health conditions, am over 40, have been sedentary, or have a family history of heart disease.

3. Voluntary Assumption of Risk

Having read and understood the risks described above, I voluntarily and knowingly assume all risks associated with my participation in Pilates and fitness activities at Red Maple Movement. I choose to participate voluntarily and accept responsibility for any injuries that may result, including those caused by the negligence of Red Maple Movement, its owners, instructors, employees, agents, or contractors.

4. Release of Liability

I hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless Red Maple Movement Studio, its owners, instructors, employees, agents, contractors, and volunteers (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, actions, damages, or liabilities of any kind arising out of or related to my participation in fitness and Pilates activities, including:

• Any injuries, death, or damages sustained while using the facility, equipment, or services
• Any injuries or damages caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence of the Released Parties
• Any claims for loss of earnings, medical expenses, or other costs associated with injury
• All other claims of any nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen

This release applies except in cases of gross negligence, reckless disregard for safety, or intentional harm by the Released Parties.

By signing this waiver, I understand I am giving up my legal right to sue Red Maple Movement Studio and its instructors.

5. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and legal fees arising out of or related to my participation, any injury that occurs as a result of my participation, or any breach of this agreement by me.

6. Emergency Medical Treatment

I authorise Red Maple Movement staff to call emergency medical services (911) in the event of a serious injury or medical emergency. I consent to emergency medical treatment and transportation at my own expense. I release the Released Parties from liability for any decisions related to emergency care made on my behalf.

7. Facility Rules & Safety

I agree to comply with all posted facility rules and safety guidelines, follow instructor instructions, report any equipment damage or safety concerns to staff, and not modify or service any equipment myself. I take full responsibility for following all safety instructions provided.

8. Severability

If any provision of this agreement is found unenforceable by a court, that provision shall be severed and all remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
