1--------------- RISK ---------------1
I, agree to participate in a physical fitness program sponsored by Superhero Fitness, which may include, but not necessarily be limited to, using the gym by myself. Superhero Fitness has made me fully aware that the fitness program which Superhero Fitness offers, and in which I agree to participate, is of a nature and kind that is extremely strenuous and may push me to the limits of my physical abilities. I recognise and understand that the programme is not without varying degrees of risk which may include, but are not limited to the following:

- Injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partner, or other people around me.

- Injury or death due to a medical condition, whether known or unknown to me.
I willingly assume full responsibility for any and all risks that I am exposing myself to as a result of my participation in the Superhero Fitness programme, and accept full responsibility for any death that may result from participation in any activity or physical programme. I hereby certify that I know of no medical problems that could increase my risk of illness and injury as a result of participation in a fitness programme designed by Superhero Fitness. Superhero Fitness informed me that there exists the possibility of adverse physical change during an exercise programme and I fully understand the same. Superhero Fitness informed me that these changes could include abnormal blood pressure, fainting, disorder of heart rhythm, stroke, and in very rare instances, heart attack or even death. With my full understanding of the above information I agree to assume all risk associated with my participation in Superhero Fitness’s fitness programme.
