Liability Waiver and Release

Please read this agreement carefully before participating in any activities offered by The Strong Mom Society.

By signing this agreement, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to the terms outlined below.

Acknowledgement of Risk

I understand that participation in fitness classes, strength training, open gym sessions, workshops, wellness services, youth programming, childcare services, and any other activities offered by The Strong Mom Society involves inherent risks that cannot be completely eliminated.

• These risks may include, but are not limited to:

  • Muscle strains, sprains, and tears

  • Joint injuries

  • Falls, slips, or trips

  • Equipment-related injuries

  • Bruises, cuts, or abrasions

  • Dizziness or fainting

  • Cardiovascular events

  • Aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions

  • Other personal injury, illness, disability, or, in rare circumstances, death

    
    

  I understand that these risks may result from my own actions, the actions of others, the condition of the premises, or the use of exercise equipment.

  I voluntarily choose to participate despite these known and unknown risks.

  
  

  Medical Responsibility

  I confirm that I am physically able to participate in fitness activities.

  
  

  I understand that it is my responsibility to seek medical advice before beginning any exercise program if I have concerns regarding my health, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, injury, illness, or any other medical condition.

  
  

  I agree to immediately stop participating and notify an instructor if I experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or any other concerning symptoms.

  Pregnancy & Postpartum Participation

  If I am pregnant or recently postpartum, I acknowledge that I have consulted with my healthcare provider regarding participation or have independently chosen to participate based on my own assessment.

  
  

  I understand that modifications may be recommended, and I accept full responsibility for participating within my own comfort level and medical limitations.

  
  

  Assumption of Responsibility

  I agree to:

  • Exercise within my own abilities.

  • Follow all instructions provided by instructors and staff.

  • Use equipment only as instructed.

  • Notify staff immediately if equipment appears damaged or unsafe.

  • Conduct myself in a safe manner that does not endanger others.

  Childcare Services

  If I utilize childcare services provided by The Strong Mom Society, I acknowledge and agree that:

  • While every reasonable effort is made to provide a safe, nurturing, and supervised environment, minor injuries may occur during normal childhood play.

  • I have disclosed all relevant medical conditions, allergies, behavioural concerns, emergency contacts, and care instructions for my child.

  • I authorize staff to contact emergency medical services if deemed necessary.

  • I understand that I remain responsible for my child before check-in and after pick-up.

  • I agree to follow all childcare policies, including drop-off and pick-up procedures.

  Youth Programs

  If signing on behalf of a minor participating in The Strong Kid Society or any youth programming, I acknowledge that I am the child's parent or legal guardian.

  
  

  I understand that youth strength training involves physical activity and carries inherent risks similar to those described above.

  I authorize my child to participate and assume all associated risks on their behalf.

  Open Gym

  I understand that during Open Gym hours there may not be a coach continuously supervising participants.

  
  

  I accept full responsibility for exercising safely and using equipment appropriately.

  
  

  I understand that children are only permitted in designated approved areas in accordance with studio policies.

  from any claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising out of or related to my participation or my child's participation in any activities offered by The Strong Mom Society, except where prohibited by law or resulting from conduct for which liability cannot legally be excluded.

  
  

  Emergency Medical Treatment

  In the event of an emergency, I authorize The Strong Mom Society to obtain emergency medical assistance for myself or my child if I cannot be reached immediately.

  
  

  I understand that all costs associated with emergency medical treatment remain my responsibility.
