COMMUNITY FITNESS CONNECTION CENTRE
24-HOUR ACCESS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
As a 24-hour secure-access fitness facility, Community Fitness Connection Centre (referred to as the “gym”) has a few different policies and procedures than a typical fitness facility. Please read the information carefully. If you have questions, please ask.
Compliance with Rules
I understand and agree that a 24/7 gym membership is a special privileged membership which can be taken away for a violation of rules. As a gym member, I agree to abide by all gym membership rules which will be posted at the facility or on the website www.communityfit.ca, which rules may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion of the gym.
I agree that improper unauthorized use of the facility may result in member suspension or cancellation. The gym reserves the right to suspend or cancel the rights, privileges and membership of any member whose actions are detrimental to the use, safety, and enjoyment of the facility.
No Supervision
I understand that I am purchasing a membership at a 24/7 facility that allows access at any time. As such, I am aware that there will be no supervision or assistance. I am aware that if I get injured, become unconscious, suffer a stroke or heart attack or any other medical emergency or event that there will likely be no one to respond to my emergency and that the gym has no duty to provide assistance to me while I am at the gym. I understand that even though the gym is equipped with surveillance cameras, these record, but are not monitored continuously, and help will not be available. However, an automated external defibrillator is located in the facility as well as a phone to call 911(note to draft: any other medical equipment available).
Acknowledgement of Risk and Waiver of Liability
I understand and am aware that strength, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic exercise, including the use of any equipment, is a potentially hazardous activity. I also understand that fitness activities involve a risk of injury and even death and that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and using equipment with knowledge of all the dangers involved. I do hereby agree to expressly assume and accept any and all risks of injury or death either accidental or otherwise. This waiver, release and indemnification agreement includes, without limitation, all injuries which may occur as a result of (a) my use of all amenities and equipment in the facility and my participation in any personal training, (b) sudden unforeseen malfunctioning of any equipment and (c) my slipping or falling while in the facility, on the facility premises, including adjacent sidewalks and parking areas. I acknowledge that I have carefully read this waiver, release and indemnification agreement and fully understand that it is a full and complete release of all liability. I also understand and agree that the gym is not responsible for any loss of my personal property.
I AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS AND RELEASE the gym and its officers, directors, agents, employees and contractors (the “releasees”) from any and all liability for any loss, damage, expense or injury, including death, that I may suffer as a result of my use of the gym’s amenities and equipment in the facility, and on the facility premises, including adjacent sidewalks and parking areas, due to any cause whatsoever, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY OR OTHER DUTY OF CARE, ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES.
General
This agreement represents the complete understanding between the gym and I. No representations, written or oral, other than those contained in this agreement are authorized or binding upon the gym. Should any part of this agreement due to legal or other regulatory changes become unenforceable, the remaining provisions within this agreement not impacted by such change shall remain in full force as originally written. I agree to promptly update the gym of any changes of address, phone, e-mail address.
