Express assumption of risk: I, the undersigned, am aware that there are significant risks involved in any physical training regimen. These risks include, but are not limited to: falls which can result in serious injury or death, injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partner, or other people around me, injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment. Injury may also result simply from the fact of physical training itself. By its very nature, physical training seeks to have me push beyond my physical and mental limits in order to produce a physical adaptation by my body. This requires feedback from me to my trainer regarding what is happening with my body. Excessive work can result (in rare cases) in exertional rhabdomyolosis. I should look for signs of excessive soreness, darkened urine, and pain in the kidney areas in the days following a particularly intense workout. While this type of injury is rare, it can occur due to a number of factors, including (but not limited to) genetic predisposition, medication, or other factors that are beyond the control of my trainer. I am aware that any of these above mentioned risks may result in serious injury or death to myself and or my partner(s). I willingly assume full responsibility for the risks that I am exposing myself to and accept full responsibility for any injury or death that may result from participation in any activity or class while training with CrossFit Eden Prairie.
I agree to participate in the physical fitness program(s)/class(es) sponsored by CrossFit Eden Prairie which may include, but not necessarily limited to, CrossFit Classes, Bootcamp Classes, Mobility Classes, Strength Classes, Dance, Yoga, Personal Training, or any variety of fitness-related programs that may be offered. I am fully aware that CrossFit training is extremely strenuous and can/may push me to the limits of my physical abilities. I the undersigned recognize and understand that the programs/classes are not without varying degrees of risk which my include, but are not limited to the following; Injury to the musculoskeletal and/or cardio respiratory systems which can result in serious injury or death, injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partners, or other people around me, injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment, or injury or death due to medical condition, whether known or unknown by me. I am aware that any of these above mentioned risks may result in serious injury or death to me or my partner(s).
In consideration of the forgoing, I, for myself my heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, waive and release any and all rights, claims and courses of action I have or may have against CrossFit Eden Prairie, or anyone associated with the entity, its Primary Sponsor and its affiliates, their agents, employees, officers, directors, successors and assigns, the City, The Parks Districts, and any and all sponsors, their representatives and successors, that may arise as a result of my participation in the event and any pre- and post-event activities. I attest and verify that I am physically fit and have sufficiently trained for the completion of this event.
Personal Property: I am responsible for the security and safety of my own property and any personal effects I use, bring to or leave at the CrossFit Eden Prairie facilities, and that CrossFit Eden Prairie cannot guaranty the security or safety of my property. Should I leave any property at the CrossFit Eden Prairie or otherwise in the custody of CrossFit Eden Prairie I do so at my sole and absolute risk. CrossFit Eden Prairie shall not have any liability to me or anyone else in the event of loss, damage, destruction or use, whether authorized or not, by any person or theft of any such property.
Use of picture(s)/film/likeness: I agree to allow CrossFit Eden Prairie, its agents, officers, principals, employees and volunteers, use of picture(s), film and/or likeness of me for advertising purposes. In the event I choose not to allow the use of the same for said purpose, I agree that I must inform CrossFit Eden Prairie of this in writing.
