Covid-19 Section:

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

Georgetown Fitness, Inc. has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Georgetown Fitness cannot guarantee that I or my child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, my attendance at the Gym may increase my risk and my child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending Georgetown Fitness and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.  I also acknowledge and understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Gym may result from my own actions, omissions, or negligence as well as the acts and omissions of others, including, but not limited to, Georgetown Fitness employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with my attendance at Georgetown Fitness. On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Georgetown Fitness and its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from all claims, including all liabilities, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Gym, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after my participation in any Georgetown Fitness program.
