In consideration of being allowed to participate in the physical fitness and training activities provided by CrossFit Chiltern (referred to as "the Gym"), I, the undersigned, acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions.

Injuries to the cardiovascular system, including abnormal blood pressure, fainting, heart rhythm disorders, stroke, or heart attack.
Injuries or death resulting from improper use of equipment, equipment failure, or the negligence of myself, other participants, or staff.
Injuries or death resulting from any pre-existing medical condition, whether known or unknown to me.
Potential for accidents, falls, or collisions during training.
I voluntarily assume all risks, both known and unknown, related to my participation in these activities and accept full responsibility for any injury, death, or property damage that may occur.
2. Release and Waiver of Liability
I hereby release, waive, and forever discharge CrossFit Chiltern, its owners, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, "the Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, losses, or liabilities for any injury, including death, or property damage that I may suffer as a result of my participation in the fitness regime.
This release includes claims based on the negligence of the Released Parties, but is not limited to such claims. I understand that this is a complete and final release of all liability for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.
