Participant document

Exercise Participation Waiver & Acknowledgement

This document applies to classes and related activities provided by MJ. Rubin Inc., operating as Transformation Nation.

1. Voluntary participation and physical demands

I understand that Transformation Nation classes may include cardiovascular exercise, dance, Pilates, mobility work, resistance exercise, balance work, stretching and other physical activity. I am participating voluntarily and may stop or modify an activity at any time.

2. Health and medical responsibility

I understand that physical activity carries risks. I am responsible for deciding whether I am able to participate safely and for seeking advice from a qualified medical professional before participating if I have a medical condition, injury, symptoms, am pregnant or postpartum, or have any concern about exercise. I will tell the instructor promptly if I feel pain, dizziness, faintness, unusual shortness of breath or other concerning symptoms and will stop participating when appropriate.

Transformation Nation and its instructors do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment or individualized medical advice through a group class.

3. Assumption of inherent risks

I understand that risks may include strains, sprains, falls, collisions, aggravation of an existing condition, cardiovascular events and, in rare cases, serious injury or death. I knowingly accept the ordinary and inherent risks of participating, including risks arising from my own actions, the actions of other participants, equipment, the venue and environmental conditions.

4. Release and responsibility

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Barbados, I release and hold harmless MJ. Rubin Inc., Transformation Nation, Joanie, its instructors, staff, contractors and participating venues from claims arising from the ordinary and inherent risks of my voluntary participation. Nothing in this document is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

I accept responsibility for damage or injury caused by my intentional misconduct or failure to follow reasonable safety instructions.

5. Emergency assistance

If I become ill or injured and cannot communicate, I authorize reasonable first aid and the contacting of emergency services. I understand that I am responsible for costs charged by medical or emergency providers. This authorization does not require Transformation Nation to provide medical care beyond obtaining appropriate assistance.

6. Class conduct and venue rules

I agree to follow reasonable instructor directions and venue rules, use equipment as directed, wear appropriate clothing or footwear, and respect other participants. I understand that participation may be refused or stopped when reasonably necessary for safety or conduct.

7. Personal information and electronic acceptance

I understand that Transformation Nation will retain my name, contact details, waiver version and acceptance record for booking administration, safety, communication and appropriate business records, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Typing my name and selecting “I agree” is intended to record my electronic acceptance of this waiver. I confirm that the information I provide is accurate and that I have had the opportunity to read this document and ask questions before participating.

8. Governing law and severability

This acknowledgement is governed by the laws of Barbados. If any part is found unenforceable, the remaining parts are intended to continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

Parent or guardian consent for a participant under 18

I confirm that I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor named in the booking and have authority to give this consent. I have read this document, consent to the minor’s participation, accept its terms on the minor’s behalf to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agree that I will ensure the instructor is told about information relevant to the minor’s safe participation.

I authorize reasonable first aid and the contacting of emergency services for the minor if I cannot be reached promptly. I understand that a parent or guardian must provide their own full name, email address and electronic acceptance; a minor may not accept this waiver for themselves.
