1. Acknowledgment & Assumption of Risk. Member acknowledges that the services purchased hereunder include participation in strenuous physical activities, including, but not limited to, high intensity interval training, weight training, stationary bicycling, various aerobic conditioning machinery and possible various nutritional programs offered by GameFit HQ (the “Physical Activities”). Member acknowledges these Physical Activities involve the inherent risk of physical injuries or other damages,
including, but not limited to, heart attacks, muscle strains, pulls or tears, broken bones, shin splints, heat prostration, knee/lower back/foot injuries and any other illness, soreness, or injury however caused

Member agrees to assume all risk and responsibility involved with Member’s participation in the Physical Activities. Member affirms that Member is in good physical condition and does not suffer from any disability that would prevent or limit participation in physical activities. Member acknowledges participation will be physically and mentally
challenging, and Member agrees that it is the responsibility of Member to seek competent medical or other professional advice, regarding any concerns or questions involved with the ability of Member to take part in the Physical Activities. By signing this Membership Contract, Member asserts that Member can participate in the Physical Activities. Member agrees to assume all risk and responsibility for Member’s exceeding his or her physical limits.
2. Limitation of Liability & Full Release. Member fully releases GameFit HQ (as used herein,
“GameFit HQ” means GameFit, LLC, its affiliates, owners, employees, authorized agents and independent
contractors) (the "Releasees") from any and all liability, claims, demands or other actions that Member
may have for injuries, disability or death or other damages of any kind, including but not limited to,
direct, special, incidental, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, whether arising in tort, contract,
or breach of warranty, arising out of participation in the services, including, but not limited to, the
Physical Activities, during the Initial Term or any renewal term, even if caused by the negligence or fault
of any of the Releasees.
3. Air Compression Therapy. Units must be checked out with a GameFit HQ employee. Users must
remain in one of the designated Recovery Recliners during use.
4. Health Questionnaire Not Medical Advice. Member acknowledges that GameFit HQ does not
diagnose health problems, does not provide medical advice nor a substitute for medical attention and
GameFit HQ has advised Member to discuss the appropriateness of the services with Member’s doctor.
The GameFit HQ Health Questionnaire (or any similar questionnaire or assessment), if given to the
Member, is nothing more than guidance for deciding Member’s goals. The fact that GameFit HQ agrees
to provide the services to the Member based on such a questionnaire or assessment and Member’s
representations is not a medical judgement that Member is medically, physically, or mentally able to
receive the services. The services should not replace any dietary restrictions or medical
recommendations from Member’s doctor. If a Member has a history of heart disease, he or she should
consult a physician before joining GameFit HQ services.
