By signing this Document, I understand, and give my informed consent to, the following:
Client Assumption of Risk:
I am engaging Ariana Cesare to provide me with virtual and/or in-person education, consultation, and physical conditioning and training, which includes but is not limited to strength-building and cardiovascular activities using various types of exercise equipment, personal training, education regarding pelvic and sexual health, anatomy, pregnancy and postpartum exercise/fitness, wellness and coaching programs, recreational and competitive sports activities, and fitness testing (collectively “Fitness Training”).
I am aware that Fitness Training can expose me to certain risks, including, but not limited to, physical injury, incapacity, pregnancy loss, birth defects, and death. I also understand that these inherent risks vary as a result of numerous factors, including but not limited to the activity performed, the muscle group involved, and the exercise equipment used. Common minor risks include minor muscle strains and sprains, muscular fatigue, and contusions. More serious, but less frequent, risks include joint injuries, torn muscles, heat-related illnesses, eye injuries, and back injuries, as well as the more-remote risk of a catastrophic incident (e.g., stroke, heart attack, paralysis, or death). If an exercise requires balance, there is a risk of falling, which could result in fracturing bones, other bodily injury, or death. I may experience muscle soreness from exercise. When using exercise equipment, such as free weights, resistance bands, weighted balls or other equipment, there is a risk that the equipment may malfunction or fail, potentially causing injury, especially if the equipment is not used correctly.
I have read the previous paragraph and I know and understand the nature of, and the risks inherent to participating in, Fitness Training provided by Ariana Cesare. I understand the demands of physical activities that I may perform relative to my own physical condition and skill level, and that injuries may occur as a result of such physical activities. My participation in Fitness Training is voluntary and I knowingly assume any and all risks.
Acknowledgements, Assertions, and Agreements:
- I assert that I possess a sufficient level of physical fitness to perform, and have no problems which would contraindicate my safe participation in Fitness Training.
- I acknowledge that Ariana Cesare recommends and encourages each client to get medical clearance from their personal physician or primary care provider before participating in Fitness Training.
- I acknowledge that it is my duty to inform Ariana Cesare and cease exercise immediately should I feel any discomfort (e.g., faintness, shortness of breath, high anxiety, chest pains) at any time during Fitness Training.
- I authorize Ariana Cesare, in her discretion, to administer emergency first aid, CPR, and use an AED (if in-person), to secure emergency medical care or transportation (i.e., EMS) at my expense, and to share my medical history with emergency medical personnel.
- I agree that I, and not Ariana Cesare, am responsible for all costs of emergency medical care and transportation.
- I agree to allow Ariana Cesare to photograph/video me for training, teaching, and advertisement purposes relating to her business of providing Fitness Training, and to use such photos/videos in any legal way Ariana Cesare deems appropriate for those purposes.
- I understand that there is a risk of injury associated with any physical activity in pregnancy.
- I understand that if I move with care, intelligence, courage, applied safety, and self-awareness, then my risk of injury may be reduced. Should injury occur or complications arise, Ariana Cesare is absolved of all responsibility.
- I am fully responsible for the outcome of my participation in the Fitness Training services provided by Ariana Cesare.
- I understand that I should report any problems or changes with my pregnancy (if applicable) to my physician and/or primary care provider and/or midwife.
- I will inform Ariana Cesare of any problems or changes in my pregnancy or physical health relevant to the services provided.
- I understand and acknowledge that Ariana Cesare is providing only education and instruction regarding Fitness Training as defined herein and I will not hold Ariana Cesare to any higher standard of care than that applicable to a personal trainer.
Waiver of Liability for Negligence:
In consideration for the use of property, facilities, and services of Ariana Cesare and/or a third party in connection with the Fitness Training today and on all future dates, I (on behalf of myself, my heirs, personal representatives, next of kin, and assigns) do hereby release, waive, and discharge Ariana Cesare from liability for any and all claims arising from the negligence of Ariana Cesare, her employees, or agents.
Ariana Cesare offers Fitness Training. As a condition of my participation in any program or service provided, I understand and agree to the following. If I do not understand and agree, I will not participate in any of Ariana Cesare’s programs or services.
- I attest that I am at least 18 years old, which is the minimum age required to participate in Ariana Cesare’s programs and/or services. Ariana Cesare does not intend for her programs and/or services to be used by individuals younger than 18.
- The Fitness Training is intended to provide general education and personal training only and is not intended to target a specific medical or physical problem nor to treat or cure any specific medical condition.. The general education and information provided is not specific medical or physical therapy advice for me or any other individual.
- Any self-assessment procedures that may be suggested by Ariana Cesare are not intended to substitute for a medical or physical therapy exam. If Ariana Cesare answers questions from me or other participants in a group session, the answers are not intended to be specific medical or physical therapy advice for me or any other participant.
- I understand and agree that communications to or from Ariana Cesare, whether virtual or in-person, and whether in an individual or group session, do not establish a patient-doctor or patient-therapist relationship. I understand that the virtual and in-person Fitness Training programs and services provided by Ariana Cesare are not physical therapy interventions or advice. Accordingly, state and federal health care privacy laws (such as HIPAA) do not apply.
- I acknowledge and agree that Ariana Cesare has not examined me and has no duty to examine me, and that no patient-doctor or patient-therapist relationship is established by reason of my watching or participating in Fitness Training.
- Ariana Cesare recommends I obtain medical clearance from my primary care provider before participating in any virtual or in-person Fitness Training program or service. My participation in any program is solely at my own risk whether I obtain medical clearance or not. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for my participation.
- Ariana Cesare does not claim that her Fitness Training will result in any particular or specific therapeutic, aesthetic, athletic, performance, or other outcome.
- I understand and agree that I have no expectation of privacy while participating in a virtual or in-person group session. As such, I should not disclose information about myself that I do not want others to know.
- I understand that participation in an individual virtual Fitness Training session is not considered a “telehealth” session because Ariana Cesare is not providing medical or physical therapy interventions or advice. Accordingly, state and federal health care privacy laws (such as HIPAA) do not apply.
- If I participate in a group session or program, the session or program may be recorded and posted on social media sites or this website (https://drarianacesare.wixsite.com/dr-ariana-cesare; hereafter referred to as the “Site”). Such recording may also be used for other promotional purposes or training. If I do not want my voice, image, and/or name to be recorded, I can block or turn off my webcam, mute my microphone, and remove my name from my screen. If I do not block or turn off my webcam and/or mute my microphone and/or remove my name from my screen, I thereby consent to my image and/or voice and/or name being recorded and used for any legal purpose at Ariana Cesare’s discretion without any expectation of attribution or compensation.
- Product Recommendations: Ariana Cesare may recommend products she thinks may benefit me through her Fitness Training. She may have business relationships with the distributors or manufacturers of products she recommends. This means she may receive compensation if I make a purchase. By recommending a product and providing a link, Ariana Cesare is not endorsing any particular vendor and makes no claims or warranties regarding the products she recommends. I am free to obtain the products from the vendor of my choice.
- I acknowledge and accept the potential technology risks of participating in an online program, including but not limited to the risk of interruption of the audio/video link, disconnection of the audio/video link, video that may not be clear, changes in quality and/or interruption of the internet connection, identity theft, and potential of unauthorized access to the session. Ariana Cesare is not responsible for these or other technology problems.
- I agree, on behalf of myself and my heirs, personal representatives, next of kin, and assigns, to assume all of the foregoing risks and all injury risks and waive all liability against Ariana Cesare, her employees, volunteers, independent contractors, subcontractors, agents, assigns and other participants and sponsoring agencies (collectively “Releasees”) for any and all claims, lawsuits, damages, liability, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for any personal injury or personal property damage claims, disability, death, pregnancy loss, adverse delivery outcome, birth defects, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Covenant Not To Sue:
I will not sue Ariana Cesare and or any Releasees for any present or future claim I might have that resulted from the inherent risks of physical conditioning and training and/or the negligence of Ariana Cesare. Instead, I agree to engage in a good faith effort to mediate any such dispute or claim that might arise. Should the dispute or claim not be resolved by mediation, I agree that all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to this Document shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
Indemnity:
I shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ariana Cesare and all other Releasees against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees, fees, the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by/awarded against Ariana Cesare or any other Releasees in a final non-appealable judgment, arising out of or resulting from any claim of a third party related to my participating in Fitness Training, including any claim related to my own negligence or the negligence of Ariana Cesare or any other Releasees.
Severability and Venue:
This Document is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of Colorado and if any portion hereof is held invalid, then the balance shall continue in full legal force and effect.
