By participating in ATX Pilates activities, I acknowledge and agree to the following:
ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that Pilates, fitness classes, strength training, heated classes, use of Pilates apparatus, and other physical activities involve inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, muscle soreness, strains, sprains, falls, equipment-related injuries, aggravation of existing conditions, and other injuries that may occur during physical activity.
I voluntarily choose to participate and knowingly assume the risks associated with participation.

I agree to inform my instructor of any injury, pregnancy, medical condition, physical limitation, recent surgery, or other circumstance that may affect my ability to safely participate.
I understand that ATX Pilates instructors are not physicians, physical therapists, or medical providers and that Pilates instruction is not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or physical therapy.
If I have questions regarding whether participation is appropriate for me, I understand that I should consult a qualified healthcare provider before participating.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
I agree to follow instructor directions, equipment safety instructions, class-level recommendations, and studio policies.
I understand that I am responsible for working within my own abilities and limitations. I may stop an exercise or session at any time if I feel pain, dizziness, unusual discomfort, or believe continuing would be unsafe.

If I become injured or experience a medical emergency while participating in an ATX Pilates activity, I authorize ATX Pilates personnel to contact emergency medical services when reasonably believed necessary.
