Only complete this section if you are a parent or legal guardian registering a minor. Minors between the ages of 8 and 17 may not participate without a signed parental consent and waiver on file; the minor cannot sign on their own behalf.
I, the undersigned parent or legal guardian, hereby grant permission for the above-named minor to participate in fitness programs, classes, and activities offered by Rochester School of Fitness (“RSF”) and/or The Fitness Initiative, Inc. at 445 W. Commercial St., Suite #4, East Rochester, NY 14445, and at any off-site locations used by RSF for programming.
I acknowledge that participation in physical fitness activities involves inherent risks of injury for the minor participant, including but not limited to: muscle strains, joint injuries, falls, cardiovascular events, and in rare cases, death. I voluntarily assume all such risks on behalf of the minor and myself, and acknowledge that these risks exist despite all reasonable safety precautions taken by RSF staff.
On behalf of myself, the minor, and our heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Rochester School of Fitness, The Fitness Initiative, Inc., and their respective owners, directors, employees, agents, and instructors (collectively “RSF Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, or causes of action arising out of the minor’s participation, including claims arising from the negligence of RSF Parties, to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the State of New York.
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless all RSF Parties from any loss, liability, damage, claim, or cost they may incur arising from the minor’s participation in RSF programs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.
I confirm that I have disclosed all known medical conditions, allergies, medications, injuries, and physical limitations of the minor participant in this form. I agree to promptly notify RSF staff of any changes to the minor’s health status before or between sessions.
I acknowledge that while RSF staff will actively supervise the minor during all scheduled programming, RSF is not responsible for supervising the minor outside of scheduled program hours. I agree to ensure the minor is picked up promptly at the end of each session, and that the minor will comply with all RSF rules, staff instructions, and codes of conduct. RSF reserves the right to remove any minor from a program for behavioral or safety reasons, with notice to the parent or guardian.
I grant RSF permission to photograph or record the minor during participation for use in promotional materials, social media, and marketing, unless I indicate otherwise by checking the opt-out box below.
I have read this entire waiver carefully, understand its terms fully, and sign it freely and voluntarily as the parent or legal guardian of the above-named minor participant. I understand this is a legally binding agreement.
