Member acknowledges that the use of The Company’s Facilities or third-party facilities, equipment, merchandise, Services (including off site and at home participation) and programs (including personal training) involves an inherent risk of personal injury, serious disabling injuries, and medical disorders including, but not limited to, torn muscles and ligaments, sprains, broken bones, concussion, illness, heart attacks, strokes and, in extreme situations, the possibility of death. Member acknowledges that the use of The Company’s facilities or third-party facilities involves the inherent risk of accidental injuries or damages, destruction, or theft of personal property occurring anywhere on or around those premises, without limitation, including locker rooms, showers, sidewalks, and parking lots. Member also recognizes that it is not possible for The Company to specifically list each and every individual injury risk or property risk. Knowing and appreciating those risks, member voluntarily agrees to assume all risks of injury, disability and even death, which could occur or arise from member’s or others supervised or unsupervised use of exercise equipment, machines at a The Company Facility or by participation in any Services offered by The Company including personal training services and off site and at home participation.


  1. Waiver of Liability 

    1. General Waiver.

Member agrees that The Company and its owners, officers, directors, members, employees or agents, administrators, insurers, successors and assigns (collectively referred to as “Affiliates”) along with any third-parties and their Affiliates who provide facilities or services in conjunction with The Company, shall not be liable for any injury, including, without limitation, personal, bodily, or mental injury, disability or death to member resulting from the negligent conduct or omission of The Company related to exercise or not, for example, warm-ups, class participation (which can be on or off site, including at home participation via live or on demand classes), shower and locker room use, use of outdoor sidewalks and parking lots on the premises.

Member further understands and acknowledges that (a) The Company does not manufacture fitness or other equipment or products available in its Facilities, but purchases and/or leases equipment and (ii) The Company does not manufacture any vitamins, food products, sports drinks, nutritional supplements, or other products sold at its Facilities; accordingly, neither The Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be held liable for any equipment or products which are defective due to manufacturer negligence.

Member or Member’s estate or personal representative agrees to hold harmless The Company, its Affiliates, and third-parties and their Affiliates who provide Facilities or Services from any and all claims, causes of action or suits, in law or in equity, demands,  judgments, accounts, damages, or executions of any nature (“Claims”) that member has or may have against them arising out of or in any way relating to Member’s use of The Company or third-party Facilities, surrounding areas or Services (including off site services), including harm caused by another Member, guest, or unassociated third-party who may be present at any location where The Company provides Services.


Member or Member’s estate or personal representative agrees to indemnify and defend (at The Company’s option) against Member’s spouse, guests, unborn child, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, agents or assigns, or relatives (“Member’s Affiliates”) and other third parties from any and all claims (as defined above) that they have or may have against The Company, its Affiliates and third parties and their Affiliates in any way relating to Member’s use of The Company or third parties’ Facilities, surrounding areas or Services (including off site services, for any reason including the intentional, negligent or reckless conduct of Member.

Member acknowledges that any The Company Facility or location where The Company Services are offered may be shared with another business or person conducting business at any time.

  1. Headings

The headings in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.


  1. No Class or Collective Action

Parties agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, will be arbitrated or, in the alternative if arbitration is not available, be resolved per Section 17 (“Governing Law and Venue”), solely on an individual basis, and that this Agreement does not permit class or collective arbitration or lawsuits.


  1. Arbitration 

Before any arbitration proceeding, Parties agree to first attempt a good faith negotiation to settle any disagreements.  Specifically, for at least thirty (30) days before engaging in any arbitration proceedings, the Parties will work in good faith to come to an agreement between them about any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement. During any pre-arbitration negotiation, the Parties shall agree that all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including evidence of liability, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties. Any matters that cannot be resolved during a pre-arbitration negotiation shall be determined by arbitration in Santa Clara County, California before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures without respect to any rules providing for class arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that this agreement does not permit class arbitration, or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. 


  1. Governing Law and Venue

The governing law is the law of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions. In the event a matter is not resolved by arbitration, or a final judgment from an arbitration proceeding needs to be filed with a court, the venue will be a court of competent jurisdiction in Santa Clara County. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to venue of any suit, action, or proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 


  1. Severability 

Should any portion of this Agreement be deemed illegal, void, or unenforceable by any court or other governing body with the authority to make such determinations, then the remaining portions of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect.


  1. Survival

All provisions will survive the termination of this Agreement, unless they are individually determined to be invalid, illegal, unconscionable, or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction.


I have carefully read this Agreement and understand its contents. I am aware that I am relinquishing substantial legal rights, including the right of financial recovery for injury, whether the injury results from the inherent risks of the activity or from the ordinary negligence of The Company. I agree that my participation in all activities at The Company Facilities or off site (including at home participation via live or on demand classes) is voluntary and that I am voluntarily signing this Agreement with the full intent of releasing The Company from liability.
