If in the subjective opinion of the CAZ staff, You would be at physical risk participating in CAZ Classes, You understand and agree that You may be denied access to the Classes and Facilities until You furnish CAZ with an opinion letter from Your medical doctor, at Your sole cost and expense, specifically addressing CAZ’s concerns and stating that CAZ’s concerns are unfounded. In consideration of being allowed to participate in and access the Classes and Facilities, You hereby (1) agree to assume full responsibility for any and all injuries or damage which are sustained or aggravated by You in relation to the Classes and Facilities, (2) release, indemnify, and hold harmless CAZ, its direct and indirect parent, subsidiary affiliate entities, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, employees, representatives and agents, and each of their respective successors and assigns and all others, from any and all responsibility, claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities to the fullest extent allowed by law arising out of or in any way related to participation in the Classes or use of the Facilities, and (3) represent that You (a) have no medical or physical condition that would prevent You from properly using any of CAZ’s Classes and Facilities, (b) do not have a physical or mental condition that would put You in any physical or medical danger, and (c) have not been instructed by a physician to not participate in physical exercise.

3.VALUABLES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

Clients acknowledge that they have been urged to avoid bringing valuables into and unto the Facilities and that CAZ shall not be liable for the loss of, theft of, or damage to personal property, including items left in lockers, bathrooms, studios, or anywhere else in the Facilities.

4.PRIVACY OF MINORS, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, WAIVER, AND RELEASE (MINOR-UNDER 18)

In consideration of the above-named minor (the “Minor”) being permitted to attend classes, activities and other programs and using the premises, facilities and equipment (individually and/or collectively, the “Classes and Facilities”) of HFF Investments, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “CAZ Training Club” and “CAZ Cycle”), I, for myself, and on behalf of the Minor identified above, the Minor’s heirs, personal representatives and/or assigns, represent, acknowledge, and agree as follows: I am the parent or legal guardian of the Minor. At all times, the Minor shall comply with all stated and customary terms, posted safety signs, rules, and verbal instructions. I am aware and acknowledge that there are certain inherent risks and dangers in circuit training and exercise and in using exercise equipment in association with the Classes and Facilities. I acknowledge and agree that Workouts:

  • are a recreational sport activity; and
  • May involve strenuous physical activity including, but not limited to, muscle strength and endurance training, cardiovascular conditioning and training, and other various fitness activities. I hereby affirm, and I affirm each time I participate in a Workout, that:
  • Minor is in good physical condition and does not suffer from any known disability or condition which would prevent or limit Minor’s participation in this exercise program; and
  • Minor is participating in the Workouts voluntarily and at Minor’s own risk.

Some of these risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but they range from (1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains; (2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions; and (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. I am also aware and acknowledge that only customers (and no guests) are permitted in the studios during Classes. Thus, I understand that unless I also participate in the Class, the Minor will not be supervised by an adult while the Class is in session. Further, I am aware and acknowledge that there are health and safety risks associated with leaving an unsupervised minor customer at the Facilities. Injuries and harm to the Minor may arise in connection with “horseplay,” improper use of equipment, and access to and use of the locker and restrooms. At times when Minor is not in Class but is using the Facilities, I shall accompany Minor and supervise Minor at all times. I hereby take full responsibility for any and all property damage to the Facilities and any of its contents arising from the refusal of the Minor to follow all stated and customary terms, posted safety signs, rules, and verbal instructions, including any deliberate acts of damage and/or destruction by the Minor. If I, or the Minor, observe any hazard or other unreasonable risk factor, I will immediately bring it to the attention of the nearest CAZ employee. If in the subjective opinion of the CAZ staff, the Minor would be at physical risk participating in CAZ’s Classes, I understand and agree that the Minor may be denied access to the Classes and Facilities until I furnish CAZ with an opinion letter from the Minor’s medical doctor, at my sole cost and expense, specifically addressing CAZ’s concerns, and stating that CAZ’s concerns are unfounded. I hereby release, indemnify and hold harmless CAZ, its direct and indirect parent, subsidiary affiliate entities, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, employees, representatives and agents, and each of their respective successors and assigns and all others from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities to the fullest extent allowed by law arising out of or in any way related to participation in the Classes or use of the Facilities.

If You are under 18, You may register and use the Website and App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. CAZ does not accept the online registration of minors; please do not attempt to register on the Website or App if You are under the age of 18.

A parent or guardian must sign waiver on behalf of a minor before the minor shall be permitted to participate in a class. A minor must be at least 15 years of age and at least 5 feet tall to participate in a class.

If CAZ discovers that personal information has been submitted by a minor without a signed participant/registration waiver, CAZ reserves the right to delete such information. CAZ does not seek or share personal information from minors throughout the Website or App.

I have read this Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release Agreement (Minor-Under 18), fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights including my and the Minor’s right to sue under certain circumstances. I acknowledge that I am signing this waiver freely and voluntarily. The term of this waiver is indefinite.
