Assumption of the Risk & Waiver of Liability Relating to COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.
Sharon Gayer, owner of SKG Fitness LLC, has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, she cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participation in a personal training service, where social-distancing guidelines of 6 feet or more cannot be maintained at all times, could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participating in a personal training service with SKG Fitness LLC; furthermore, such exposure or infection by COVID-19 may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to myself (including but not limited to personal injury, disability, and/or death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense of any kind that I may experience or incur in connection with my participation in a personal training service with SKG Fitness LLC (“Claims”).
On my behalf, I hereby release—covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless—SKG Fitness LLC, its agents (i.e., Sharon Gayer), and its representatives of and from the Claims, including liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of SKG Fitness LLC, its agents (i.e., Sharon Gayer), and its representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any personal training service.
Please note that while SKG Fitness LLC is using best practices for sanitation procedures and following the State and Department of Regulatory Agency Guidelines governing its scope of service, SKG Fitness LLC is also exposing its agents and representatives (i.e., Sharon Gayer) to the same risks, and is acting in good faith to provide you with a healthy, sanitary personal training service.
