Health & Wellness Center

Waiver, Release of Liability, and Consent to Medical Attention

In consideration of my being allowed use of the Columbia Club Health & Wellness Center (the “Center”), I agree to be bound by each of the following:

1. Voluntary Participation: I understand and confirm that my use of the Center is voluntary and is not a requirement of the Columbia Club.
2. Obligations to Inspect Fee of Facility and Equipment: I agree that prior to use, I may inspect the Center and equipment to be used. If I believe anything is unsafe, I will immediately advise the Health & Wellness Director and/or another staff member of the Columbia Club of such unsafe condition(s) and may decline to use the Center or any such equipment.
3. Identification of Risks: I understand that my use of the Center and the equipment in the Center involves risk of injury, disability and death and, perhaps, damage to property. I further understand that the Center is not always supervised by the Health & Wellness Director and at times is unsupervised. I understand that I should consult my physician before commencing any exercise program.
4. Assumption of Risk: I am physically and psychologically ready to use the Center and assume all risks, known or unknown, connected with my use of the Center. I accept personal responsibility for any liability, injury, loss, or damage in any way connected with my use of the Center and any of the equipment in the Center. I understand that I may not be covered by any liability insurance policy for injuries resulting for the use of the Center.
5. Waiver and Release: I release and discharge the Columbia Club and each of its affiliated organizations, members, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from all claims for any liability, injury, loss, or damage in any way connected with my use of the Center. Whether or not caused in whole or part by the negligence by any of the organizations or individuals mentioned above. I intend for this waiver and release also to apply to my relatives, personal representatives, heirs, beneficiaries, next of kin, or assigns who might pursue any legal action or claim for such liability, injury, loss, or damage.
6. Consent to Medical Treatment: I agree that the Columbia Club may, but have no duty to provide to me through medical personnel of its choice, customary medical or framing assistance, transportation, and emergency medical services. This consent does not impose a duty upon the Columbia Club, the staff of the Club, its affiliated organizations, its partners, agents, or successors to provide such assistance, transportation, or services.
7. Applicable Law: This Waiver, Release of Liability, and Consent to Medical Attention is to be interpreted consistent with the laws of the State of Indiana, without consideration of the conflicts of law provisions.
