Because voluntary participation in recreational sports involves physical activity with risk of personal injury or damage to property, it is the policy of Bellaire Fitness Center that all participants voluntarily and knowingly assume all risks associated with physical activity.

I understand that I am voluntarily participating in recreational activities at Bellaire Fitness Center for my own personal benefit.  I assume responsibility for all risks involved in aforementioned activities that have inherent dangers and hazards that no amount of care, caution, instruction, or expertise can eliminate.  Risks may include, but are not limited to:

    1. Minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, strains and sprains.

    2. Major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, cardiac events, and concussions.

    3. Catastrophic injuries including paralysis and even death.

In consideration for being permitted to participate in these activities at Bellaire Fitness Center, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless, Bellaire Fitness Center, its management, employees, members, and volunteers; from any liability arising from or proximately caused by my participation in these activities.  I further agree to accept and assume for myself, my assigns, executors, and heirs any and all such risks and losses that may occur.
