Express assumption of risk

I am aware that there are significant risks in any type of physical training and activity. Specifically, these risks can result in serious injury or death and include (but are not limited to):

- Rhabdomyolysis - High intensity training must be approached cautiously in the beginning, a gradual ramp up of intensity is necessary to allow muscle cells to adapt to the new demands placed on them. Failure to do so, opens the door to a life threatening condition, known as 'Rhabdomyolysis.' In short, the muscle cells are damaged flooding the blood stream with toxins that can overwhelm the kidneys as they attempt to cleanse the blood, leading to potential shut down. CrossFit can cause 'Rhabdomyolysis.' It is important that you start at a reduced intensity. Brown urine, compete muscle weakness and/or swelling of joints are warning signs of 'Rhabdo.' If you develop these symptoms, seek medical assistance immediately.

- Falls;

- Negligence from myself, my trainer or those training around me;

- Improper use or failure of equipment;

- Strains and sprains;

- Feeling faint, losing consciousness and heart attack.

I am aware and acknowledge that the above may result in serious injury or death. I willingly assume full responsibility of these risks that I am exposing myself to in undertaking this type of physical activity, and accept responsibility in partaking in classes and unattended open gym which can result in serious injury or death.
