Article II. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY & ASSUMPTION OF RISK & INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
Member enters into this Release and Waiver, and Assumption of Risk, for Member and for any and all of Member’s minor children who Member permits to use the Facilities with or without supervision.
In consideration of being permitted to enter upon, participate in and use the facilities, equipment, services and activities of or offered by The Club at City Center, and their agents, shareholders, members, principals, contractors, owners, directors, officers, employees, partners, independent contractors, volunteers, and all other persons acting in any capacity on their behalf (collectively, “The Fitness Center Parties”), I, on behalf of myself, my guests, children, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby:
1. Acknowledge, understand and appreciate that my entry upon and/or use of the facilities, equipment, services and activities of or offered by The Fitness Center Parties entails significant risks, both known and unknown, including, without limitation, the possibility of physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, other serious or catastrophic personal injuries, and loss or damage to personal property.
2. Expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks, both known or unknown, that may arise as a result of my entry upon, participation in and use of the facilities, equipment, services and activities of or offered by The Fitness Center Parties, whether such risks are caused or alleged to be caused by the negligent acts or omissions of any of The Fitness Center Parties. I hereby confirm that I am voluntarily entering upon, participating in and using the facilities, equipment, services and activities of or offered by The Fitness Center Parties, and that I am electing to take such voluntary actions in spite of the risks. I acknowledge and agree that I am solely responsible for my safety and responsible entry upon, participation in, and use of the facilities, equipment, services and activities of or offered by The Fitness Center Parties, whether or not supervised by a The Fitness Center Party.
3. Expressly and voluntarily release and forever discharge each of The Fitness Center Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action or liability for any loss, damages, injuries or death that I may suffer as a result of my entry upon, participation in or use of the facilities, equipment, services or activities of or offered by The Fitness Center Parties, whether the same arises out of or results from any act, omission or conduct of one or more of The Fitness Center Parties, negligent or otherwise.

Expressly agree to hold harmless, indemnify and defend each of The Fitness Center Parties (with attorneys of each of The Fitness Center Parties’ choice) from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, or liability for any loss, damages, injuries or death suffered by any other person in connection with my entry upon, participation in or use of the facilities, equipment, services or activities of or offered by The Fitness Center Parties, whether the same arises out of or results from any act, omission or conduct of one of more of The Fitness Center Parties, negligent or otherwise. The agreement by me to hold harmless, indemnify and defend The Fitness Center Parties is immediate upon the assertion of any claims, demands, causes of action or liability by any other person and is not contingent or dependent upon a finding that my actions caused the loss, damages, injuries or death claimed. The agreement by me to hold harmless, indemnify and defend The Fitness Center Parties includes all consequential damages incurred by The Fitness Center Parties, or which otherwise would be incurred by The Fitness Center Parties absent this agreement, including, but not limited to, all attorney’s fees and costs, court and litigation costs, experts fees and costs, arbitrator fees and costs, mediator fees and costs, payment of any judgment, verdict, award or settlement on behalf of the Fitness Center Parties, and any other damages incurred by the Fitness Center Parties not included in the preceding list which arise as a direct or indirect consequence of the claims, demands, causes of action or liability asserted by any other person.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AM AWARE THAT IT CONTAINS A WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND THAT I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING MY RIGHT TO SUE OR HOLD ANY FITNESS CENTER PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY WHICH I MAY SUFFER.
