I have been INFORMED OF, ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND and AGREE that  participation in the Body Forté Rehab & Pilates Program and related activities and  events (hereafter, “the program”) may involve serious risk of injury. I ACKNOWLEDGE that while following the instructor’s instructions in using the  apparatus, that personal discipline reduces this risk. I UNDERSTAND that the work I receive at Body Forté Limited is provided for the  purpose of exercise, relaxation, stress reduction, relief of muscular tension, and/or the  balancing/aligning of the body. If I experience any pain or discomfort during this/these  session(s), I will immediately inform the practitioner so that the pressure, procedure,  and/or exercise may be adjusted to my level of comfort.

  I UNDERSTAND that in class situations if I feel discomfort  and/or pain, I will stop and inform the instructor. I UNDERSTAND and AGREE that it is my responsibility to consult a physician prior  to and regarding my participation in the program. I REPRESENT and WARRANT that  I have and will continue to keep Body Forté Limited informed of any physical condition  or disability, which would prevent or limit my participation in an exercise, physical  conditioning, and/or bodywork. Because Pilates is contraindicated (should not be  done) under certain medical conditions, I AFFIRM that I have stated all my known  medical conditions and answered all questions honestly.

 I AGREE to keep the instructor updated on any changes in my medical profile and understand that there  shall be no liability on the part of Body Forté Limited should I forget to do so. I ACKNOWLEDGE that, although the pilates program I participate in may have  substantial physical benefits, neither Body Forté Limited nor its Pilates Practitioners are  engaged in diagnosing or treating medical diseases or deficiencies, nor do sessions  serve as a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment when such attention is needed. I RECOGNISE that though many positive changes can occur as a result of exercise  there is the possibility of negative side effects including possible short-term aggravation  of some symptoms, tiredness, light-headedness, increased energy, mood changes, etc.

 I HEREBY ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY HARM, INJURY OR DAMAGE THAT MAY  RESULT FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM EXCEPT WHERE THAT HARM, INJURY OR  DAMAGE IS AS A DIRECT & SOLE CAUSE OF THE PROVEN NEGLIGENCE OF BODY FORTÉ LIMITED, ITS OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES. I HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE, ABSOLVE, INDEMNIFY AND AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS BODY  FORTÉ LIMITED, ITS OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY INJURY  TO ME, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH INJURY IS CAUSED DIRECTLY AND SOLELY BY THE PROVEN  NEGLIGENCE OF BODY FORTÉ LIMITED, ITS OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES. I VOLUNTARILY AND  KNOWINGLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THESE RISKS. I HAVE READ THIS INFORMED CONSENT AND LIABILITY RELEASE AGREEMENT, FULLY  UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY  SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
