CROSSFIT ZANSHIN will be referred to as ZANSHIN FITNESS throughout this waiver. Express assumption of risk: I, the undersigned, am aware that there are significant risks involved in any physical training regimen. These risks include, but are not limited to: falls which can result in serious injury or death, injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partner, or other people around me, injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment. Injury may also result simply from the fact of physical training itself. By its very nature, physical training seeks to have me push beyond my physical and mental limits in order to produce a physical adaptation by my body. This requires feedback from me to my trainer regarding what is happening with my body. Excessive work can result (in rare cases) in exertional rhabdomyolosis. I should look for signs of excessive soreness, darkened urine, and pain in the kidney areas in the days following a particularly intense workout. While this type of injury is rare, it can occur due to a number of factors, including (but not limited to) genetic predisposition, medication, or other factors that are beyond the control of my trainer. I am aware that any of these above mentioned risks may result in serious injury or death to myself and or my partner(s). I willingly assume full responsibility for the risks that I am exposing myself to and accept full responsibility for any injury or death that may result from participation in any activity or class while training with ZANSHIN FITNESS.
I, the undersigned acknowledge that I have no physical condition, illness, or impairment that I know of that will endanger myself or others.
24/7 Program Access Assumption of Risk: ZANSHIN FITNESS STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CLEAR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.

IN CONSIDERATION OF ZANSHIN FITNESS MAKING ITS EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR MY USE, I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS: - I am fully aware that my access to the ZANSHIN FITNESS equipment and facilities will be unattended and I am solely responsible for my own safety and well-being while participating in physical training activities at the ZANSHIN FITNESS facilities or utilizing the ZANSHIN FITNESS equipment. - I recognize and understand that physical training is not without varying degrees of risk, which may include, but are not limited to the following: Injury to the musculoskeletal and/or cardio respiratory systems, which can result in serious injury or death, injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partner, or other people around me, injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment, or injury or death due to a medical condition, whether known or unknown by me. - I willingly assume full responsibility for any and all risks that I am exposing myself to as a result of my participation in physical training and accept full responsibility for any injury or death that may result from my participation. - I hereby certify that I know of no medical problems that would increase my risk of illness and injury arising from use of the ZANSHIN FITNESS equipment or facilities. I understand there exists the possibility of adverse physical changes during physical training.

I understand that certain prescribed medications may exacerbate these physiological changes and create an even greater risk of physical damage or death. With my full understanding of the above information, I agree to assume any and all risks arising from or in any way associated with my voluntary participation in ZANSHIN FITNESS physical activities or the use of the ZANSHIN FITNESS equipment or facilities under the 24/7 Program Access.
