RELEASE OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF ALL RISKS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
Assumption of Risk: I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the training, curriculum, and program activities (the “Activities”) offered by CLB Nation, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“CLB Nation”), doing business as Féroce Fitness (“FF”), with the knowledge of, and by signing this Release of Liability, Assumption of All Risks and Indemnity Agreement (the “Agreement”) I hereby fully assume, the numerous risks and dangers involved in the Activities.
The Activities include, but are not limited to, workout plans of the following types: workout specific warm ups, targeted skill work and special exercises, proven strength training formulas, metabolic conditioning workouts, aerobic capacity training, accessory work, regular benchmarks and testing, and regenerative workout; notwithstanding the foregoing, these Activities may include carrying, lifting, squatting, lungeing, pressing, and generally using heavy weights without in-person professional supervision. In summation, the Activities are hazardous that presents ultimate physical and mental challenges to participants.
I acknowledge that the Activities are a test of my physical and mental limits that carries with it inherent risks of physical injury. Inherent risks are risks that cannot be eliminated completely (without changing the challenging nature of the Activities) regardless of the care and precautions taken by CLB Nation its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or equipment suppliers. I also understand that it is extremely strenuous with the accompanying risks and dangers generally present in such Activities. I understand that these hazards may be magnified due to the fact that the Activities are often conducted under what may be extreme conditions and circumstances.
I further understand and acknowledge that any of these risk and others, not specifically named, may cause injury or injuries that may be categorized as minor, serious, or catastrophic. Minor injuries are common and include, but are not limited to: scrapes, bruises, sprains, strains, muscle tension and soreness, nausea, cuts, sunburn, abrasions, grazes, lacerations, and contusions. Serious injuries are less common, but do sometimes occur. They include but are not limited to property loss or damage, broken bones, fractures, torn or strained ligaments and tendons, concussions, exposure, dehydration, heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses, mental stress or exhaustion, infection, vomiting, dislocations, hyperthermia, hypothermia, anemia, electrolyte imbalance, loss of consciousness, syncope, dizziness, fainting, seizures, electric shock and/or injury, and neurological disorders/pain. Catastrophic injuries are rare; however, each participant in the Activities should be aware of the possibility. These injuries can include, but are not limited to, permanent disabilities, stroke, single or multiple organ failure or dysfunction, physical damage to organs, spinal injuries, paralysis, heart attack, heart failure, blood cell disorder, brain swelling, and even death.
I acknowledge that the enjoyment and enrichment of participation in the Activities is derived in part from the inherent risks incurred by Activities participation beyond the accepted safety of life at home or work, and that these inherent risks contribute to such enjoyment and enrichment, being a reason for my participation.
I also understand that it is my responsibility to consult with my personal physician prior to participating in the Activities to ensure that such participation will not pose any unusual risks to my health and well-being.
I UNDERSTAND FULLY THE INHERENT RISKS PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITIES AND ASSERT THAT I AM WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITIES.
