This Gym Waiver and Release of Liability (the "Waiver") is entered into between the undersigned participant ("Participant") and CrossFit Paratus (the "Gym").

1. Assumption of Risk
I understand that the activities I will engage in during gym hours at CrossFit Paratus involve inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of injury, illness, and the potential for serious bodily harm. I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in these activities with knowledge of the dangers involved and hereby agree to accept and assume any and all risks associated with my participation.

3. Responsibility for Personal Safety
I acknowledge that open gym hours are not coach-led, and I am solely responsible for my personal safety. I agree to exercise caution, follow all posted rules and guidelines, and use equipment properly. I understand that failure to do so may increase the risk of injury.
During coach-led sessions I agree to:

I agree to keep the gym tidy, put away equipment after use, and ensure that the gym is left in a clean and orderly state. I understand that failure to maintain cleanliness may result in restricted access or additional charges for cleaning expenses. I agree to report any damaged equipment immediately to Management. Failure to comply may result in restricted access or charges.

I affirm that I am in good physical condition and have no medical or health-related conditions that would prevent or limit my participation in the activities at CrossFit Paratus. I understand that it is my responsibility to obtain medical clearance from a qualified healthcare professional if I have any concerns about my ability to engage in physical activities.
