1. EXPLANATION OF THE EXERCISE SESSIONS AND PROGRAMS
I desire to voluntarily participate in one or more Programs (see attached Schedule of Programs) offered through COREEN WOZNIAK’S BALANCED FITNESS, LLC (hereinafter “Balanced Fitness”), or any other classes that may be offered by Balanced Fitness, in order to improve my physical fitness level. The exercise sessions I will become involved in will follow progressive exercise levels conducted by Coreen Wozniak, or one of the other Instructors (see attached List of Instructors).
The sessions will consist of aerobic-type activities (rhythmical exercises which utilize large muscle groups for sustained periods of time). These exercise activities are designed to place a gradually increasing workload on the body and thereby improve its functioning, although no guarantee of improvement can be made. All exercise sessions are indoors, outdoors, virtual and/or prerecorded conducted at Coreen Wozniak’s Balanced Fitness Studio and other onsite locations. During the Program exercise sessions, muscular soreness and fatigue may be experienced.
2. RISK AND DISCOMFORTS OF THE EXERCISE SESSION
The reaction of the cardiovascular system to such activities cannot always be predicted with complete accuracy. Therefore, there is the risk of certain changes occurring during or following the exercises. These changes include, but are not limited to, abnormalities of blood pressure or heart rate and, in rare instances, cardiac complications. A physician will not be present during the exercise Programs offered by Balanced Fitness. Should you observe any discomfort or symptoms, use your commonsense and stop the exercise and immediately report these symptoms to the exercise coordinator.
