In consideration of my being able to participate with Hoops College, I understand that I must purchase a single or package of training session(s) and must read, agree to and sign this agreement where I assume the risks for participation, waive of liability, and personal training policies and procedures.

During the program if my medications, condition, or medical limitations should change, I will notify Hoops College. I understand that it is recommended that I have a yearly physical or more frequent physical examination and consultation with my physician as to physical activity and diet so I am aware of what is appropriate for me.

I understand that part of the risk involved in undertaking any activity or program is relative to my own state of fitness or health (physical, mental, or emotional) and to the awareness, care and skill which I conduct myself in that activity or program.

Knowing the material risks and appreciating, knowing and reasonably anticipating that other injuries are a possibility, I hereby expressly assume all of the delineated risks of injury, all other possible risk of injury, and even risk of possible death, which could occur by reason of my participation.

I do hereby waive, release and forever discharge to the gym, Hoops College, LLC. from any and all responsibilities or liability for any present and future injuries or damages resulting or arising from my participation in any activities including but not limited to exercise, personal training or use of the equipment including any injuries and damages caused by the negligent act or omission of any of those persons or entities mentioned above.
