DECLARATIONS

This Agreement is entered into between Perpetual Motion Pilates ("Perpetual Motion Pilates", "we", "our", or "Trainer") and the undersigned participant ("Client", "you", or "your").

The provision of Pilates instruction, Clinical Pilates services, classes, private sessions, workshops, and any related services by Perpetual Motion Pilates, and your use of any premises, facilities, or equipment, are contingent upon your acceptance of this Agreement.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You acknowledge that participation in Pilates, Clinical Pilates, exercise programs, movement-based activities, and the use of exercise equipment involves inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, muscle strains, sprains, joint injuries, aggravation of pre-existing conditions, falls, dizziness, cardiovascular events, illness, property damage, and, in rare circumstances, serious injury or death.

You agree that if you engage in any Pilates session, class, exercise activity, workshop, or event, or enter any premises used by Perpetual Motion Pilates, you do so voluntarily and at your own risk.

Your assumption of risk includes, but is not limited to:

Participation in private or group Pilates sessions;
Use of Pilates apparatus and equipment, including reformers, chairs, barrels, resistance bands, rollers, weights, balls, and other exercise equipment;
Participation in online or remote classes;
Participation in activities conducted at any studio, community venue, outdoor location, or private residence;
Travel to and from any session, class, or event.

You voluntarily assume all risks of injury, illness, loss, damage, or adverse health outcomes that may result from your participation, whether arising from your own actions, the actions of others, equipment failure, or otherwise.

MEDICAL CLEARANCE AND HEALTH DISCLOSURE

I warrant that I am physically capable of participating in Pilates and exercise activities.

I have disclosed to Perpetual Motion Pilates any medical conditions, injuries, illnesses, pregnancies, disabilities, medications, or other health concerns that may affect my ability to participate safely.

If I have any doubt regarding my fitness to participate, or if I have been advised by a medical practitioner to seek clearance before exercising, I agree to obtain approval from my treating physician or other qualified healthcare professional before participating.

If I choose to participate without obtaining such medical clearance, I acknowledge that I do so voluntarily and entirely at my own risk and assume full responsibility for any injury, illness, aggravation of an existing condition, or other adverse outcome that may arise from my participation.

I agree to immediately inform my instructor of any changes to my health status and to cease exercise if I experience pain, dizziness, discomfort, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms.

RELEASE

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release and discharge Perpetual Motion Pilates, its owner, instructors, employees, contractors, agents, representatives, and affiliates from any claim, demand, action, or cause of action arising from or related to my participation in Pilates activities, classes, sessions, workshops, or use of facilities and equipment.

This release includes claims relating to personal injury, illness, property damage, economic loss, or death, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Australian law.

I acknowledge that no guarantee or warranty has been made regarding any fitness, health, rehabilitation, or performance outcomes resulting from participation in Pilates activities.

INDEMNITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Perpetual Motion Pilates, its owner, instructors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, or legal fees arising from:

My participation in Pilates activities;
My breach of this Agreement;
My failure to disclose relevant medical information;
Any negligent or wrongful act or omission by me.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
