Trainer/Business Name: LOTUS STRENGTH

I understand that participation in personal training, fitness instruction, exercise programs, and related physical activities — whether conducted indoors, outdoors, in parks, on sidewalks, trails or other public spaces, with or without equipment, and with or without supervision — involves inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, muscle strains, sprains, tears, soreness, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, dehydration, heat illness, joint injuries, broken bones, heart attack, stroke, or other serious injury or death.

I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks, both known and unknown, associated with my participation in personal training activities.

I affirm that my participation in personal training sessions is voluntary. I agree to follow all instructions provided by the trainer and understand that I may stop any activity at any time if I feel pain, discomfort, or distress.
I understand that it is my responsibility to exercise within my personal limits and to immediately stop any activity that causes pain, dizziness, or discomfort.
I understand that training sessions occur in a group environment and I agree to maintain awareness of my surroundings and other participants during activities.
I understand that only individuals who have completed and signed the required waiver may participate in training sessions.

I acknowledge that the trainer has not provided medical advice. I understand that it is recommended that I consult with a physician prior to beginning any exercise program. I assume full responsibility for my decision to participate without medical clearance.

In the event of a medical emergency during participation in training sessions, I authorize the trainer to seek emergency medical assistance on my behalf if necessary. I understand that I am responsible for any medical costs incurred.

I understand that the use of exercise equipment, including but not limited to dumbbells, resistance bands, machines, or other fitness tools, carries additional risks. I accept full responsibility for the proper and safe use of any equipment during training sessions.

I understand that some personal training sessions may take place outdoors in parks, sidewalks, trails, or other public or natural environments. Outdoor training may involve uneven surfaces, grass, pavement, curbs, steps, weather conditions, insects, and other environmental factors that may increase the risk of slips, falls, or injury. I acknowledge that I am responsible for exercising caution during outdoor sessions and for wearing appropriate footwear and clothing suitable for physical activity and environmental conditions. I understand that outdoor exercise may involve exposure to heat, cold, humidity, sunlight, or other weather conditions. I agree that I am responsible for monitoring my hydration, bringing water when appropriate, and exercising within my personal limits in response to environmental conditions.

I understand that outdoor training sessions may take place in public spaces that are NOT controlled or maintained by the trainer or business, including parks, sidewalks, trails, and recreational areas. I acknowledge that these environments may contain natural or man-made hazards such as uneven ground, rocks, roots, curbs, debris, or other obstacles, and I accept full responsibility for remaining aware of my surroundings during participation. I voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation in outdoor training activities.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless the trainer, business, employees, contractors, affiliates, and representatives from any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, or liabilities arising out of or related to my participation in personal training activities, including those caused by negligence, except where prohibited by law.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the trainer and business from any claims brought by third parties arising out of my participation in training sessions.

I grant permission for photos or videos taken during sessions to be used for marketing or educational purposes unless I provide written notice declining consent.

This agreement shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the state of New Jersey.

If any portion of this agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
