Informed Consent and Assumption of Risk

I understand that participation in the Fitness With Francis Program involves significant risks due to the physical nature of the activities. The Program includes strenuous exercise, such as strength training, cardiovascular workouts, flexibility exercises, and other fitness activities, which may push me to my physical limits.

 

Risks

I am aware of the following risks associated with physical training:

  • Cardiovascular and Physiological Risks: Exercise may affect my heart, lungs, and vascular system in ways that cannot always be predicted. Possible risks include abnormal blood pressure, heart rate irregularities, chest, arm, or leg discomfort, transient light-headedness, fainting, and, in rare cases, heart attack, stroke, or death.

  • Exertional Rhabdomyolysis: Excessive exercise may, in rare cases, lead to exertional rhabdomyolysis, characterized by excessive muscle soreness, darkened urine, or pain in the kidney area. This condition may result from factors such as genetic predisposition, dehydration, or other factors beyond the control of Fitness With Francis.

  • Injury Risks: Risks include, but are not limited to, muscle strains, sprains, joint injuries, falls, or equipment-related injuries due to improper use, my negligence, or the actions of others. These risks may result in serious injury or death.

  • Environmental Risks: I am responsible for ensuring my workout environment is safe and free of hazards (e.g., trip risks, inadequate space).

 

Voluntary Participation

I acknowledge that my participation in the Program is voluntary, and I assume full responsibility for all risks of injury, illness, or death. I certify that I have no medical conditions that would increase my risk of injury or illness, or I have obtained physician clearance to participate. I agree to monitor my health during workouts and stop immediately if I experience discomfort, pain, or other symptoms, notifying Fitness With Francis via [insert contact email].

 

PAR-Q Requirement

I will complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) provided by Fitness With Francis before participating. If my responses indicate potential health risks, I may be required to obtain physician clearance. I understand that Fitness With Francis is not liable for injuries resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided in the PAR-Q.

 

Acknowledgment

By signing this document, I acknowledge:

  • The strenuous nature of the Program and its potential physiological effects, including but not limited to abnormal blood pressure, rhabdomyolysis, fainting, heart attack, stroke, or death.

  • That I have been informed of these risks and voluntarily choose to participate.

  • That I am encouraged to ask questions about exercise procedures and recommendations.

 

Waiver and Release

I fully understand that the Program may be strenuous, and I choose to participate voluntarily. I accept all responsibility for my health and any injuries, mishaps, or damages that may affect my well-being. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I waive any claims, demands, or causes of action against Fitness With Francis, its owners, employees, independent contractors, or authorized agents for any injuries, damages, or losses arising from my participation in the Program, including but not limited to personal training, classes, or nutritional guidance.

 

Indemnification

I recognize that the activities offered by Fitness With Francis involve risks. I accept full financial responsibility for any injury I may cause to myself or others due to my negligence. If Fitness With Francis, its owners, employees, or agents incur attorney’s fees or costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to reimburse them for such expenses. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fitness With Francis, its principals, agents, employees, and volunteers from any liability for injury, death, or property damage resulting from my negligent or intentional acts or omissions while participating in the Program.

 

Validity

I have fully read and understand this assumption of risk, waiver, and release of liability. I understand that by signing, I am obligated to indemnify the named parties for any liability for injury, death, or property damage caused by my negligent or intentional acts or omissions. I acknowledge that I am waiving valuable legal rights. I sign this agreement knowingly, voluntarily, and of my own free will.
