WAIVER AND LIABILITY AGREEMENT
In consideration of Healthfitnesslifestyle Ltd/The Unit allowing me to participate, I acknowledge, understand and I am aware that:
I have voluntarily chosen to participate in training activities provided by Healthfitnesslifestyle Ltd/The Unit. I understand there are inherent risks in all aspects of physical training and I acknowledge that I have been informed of the possible strenuous nature of the training and the potential for undesirable physiological results including, but not limited to, abnormal blood pressure, muscle soreness, fainting, heart attack and/or death.
I understand that the training may involve weightlifting, gymnastic movements, strenuous bodyweight exercises and other high exertion activities, and that I am not obligated to perform nor participate in any activity that I do not wish to do, and that it is my right to refuse such participation at any time during my training sessions.
I understand that should I feel lightheaded, faint, dizzy, nauseated, or experience pain or discomfort, I am to stop the activity and inform my trainer. I give Healthfitnesslifestyle Ltd/The Unit and the staff of the facilities I train in permission to seek emergency medical services for me should I become injured or ill with the understanding that I am responsible for any expenses incurred.
High intensity training must be approached cautiously in the beginning, a gradual increase of intensity is necessary to allow muscles cells to adapt to the new demands placed on them. Failure to do so, opens the door to a life threatening condition, known as Rhabdomyolysis. In the short, the muscle cells are damaged flooding the blood stream with toxins that can overwhelm the kidneys as they attempt to cleanse the blood, loading to potential shut down.
HIT along with many other forms of exercise can cause Rhabdomyolysis. It is important that you start at a reduced intensity. Brown urine, complete muscle weakness and/or swelling of joints are a warning signs of Rhabdomyolysis. If you develop these symptoms, seek medical assistance immediately. I acknowledge that I have been specifically warned about the medical condition Rhabdomyolysis and accordingly I have been advised to limit my effort in order to minimise the risks associated with this condition.
Express assumption of risk: I, the undersigned, am aware that there are significant risks involved in all aspects of physical training. These risks include, but are not limited to: falls which can result in serious injury or death; injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partner, or other people around me; injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment; strains and sprains.
