Learn to Lift

I know and understand that participating in a fitness program can be physically demanding and a potentially dangerous activity. I have voluntarily chosen to participate in a fitness program offered by University Recreation at Western Michigan University. I answered the medical questions above to the best of my ability. I affirm that my physical condition is good, and I have no conditions that prevent me from participating in a fitness program. I agree to abide by any decision of a fitness instructor regarding my ability to safely participate in a fitness program. I understand that University Recreation recommends improving physical fitness through an exercise plan typically consisting of a gradual warm-up, aerobic exercise, strength development, and a cool-down. I also realize that participation is at my own pace and that I am free to discontinue my participation at any time if it exceeds my personal limitations. I assume all risks associated with participation including, but not limited to, falls, contact with other participants, and conditions of the activity, room(s), or equipment. I understand that by signing this agreement, in consideration of my participation in a fitness program, and to the fullest extent of any applicable law I, for myself, and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, indemnify, release, and hold harmless Western Michigan University, its President, Board of Trustees, agents, the Student Recreation Center, all fitness instructors, all University recreation employees, their representatives, and successors from all damages, claims, or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in these classes, including death, injury, loss, or an adverse health condition. I acknowledge that I am not required to participate in any physical activity or fitness program, but do so voluntarily. I grant permission to Western Michigan University and the Student Recreation Center to use any photograph of me that is taken during special event, or fitness program, or class for any legitimate purpose. I affirm that I have read and fully understand the above document and I wish to participate in fitness activities.
