Agreement to Participate

I have enrolled in a program of strenuous physical activity including, but not limited to, high-intensity interval training, weight training, stationary bicycling, and the use of various aerobic-conditioning machinery offered by Michael E. Smith Sr. on behalf of Yosef Resources LLC. I am aware that participation in these types of activities, even when completed properly, can be dangerous. I agree to follow the verbal instructions issued by the personal trainer. I am aware that potential risks associated with these types of activities include, but are not limited to, death, serious neck and spinal injuries that may result in complete or partial paralysis or brain damage, serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and other aspects of the musculoskeletal system, and serious injury or impairment to other aspects of my body, general health, and well-being. 

Because of the dangers of participating, I recognize the importance of following the personal trainer’s instructions regarding proper techniques and training, as well as other organization rules. 

I am in good health and have verified from a licensed physician that I am able to undertake a general fitness-training program. I hereby consent to first aid, emergency medical care, and admission to an accredited hospital or an emergency care center when necessary for executing such care and for treatment of injuries that I may sustain while participating in an exercise-training program. 

I understand that I am responsible for my own medical insurance and will maintain that insurance throughout my entire period of participation with Michael E. Smith Sr. on behalf of Yosef Resources LLC, I will assume any additional expenses incurred that go beyond my health coverage. I will notify Michael E. Smith Sr. of any significant injury or change in health status that requires medical attention (such as emergency care, hospitalization, etc.).
