2. I understand, acknowledge and am fully cognizant that strength and flexibility training, massage and spa services, aerobic exercise, the use of Exercise Equipment and the participation or involvement in the Exercise Activities, is a potentially hazardous activity that involves a risk of injury and expiration of life, that it is my responsibility to be familiar with the Exercise Equipment I may use and activities in which I may participate, that I must use the Fitness Facility and the Exercise Equipment in a safe, reasonable and courteous manner and consistent with posted rules and Building rules and policies, that I am voluntarily participating in the Exercise Activities and voluntarily using the Exercise Equipment and any personal trainer with full knowledge of the dangers and assumption of the risks involved and that the Fitness Facility shall remain unstaffed and will not be monitored or supervised and that neither Association nor Property Manager shall provide or be responsible for providing any supervisory or security personnel at the Fitness Facility.
3. In consideration of permitting me the free use of the Fitness Facility, I do hereby assume and accept all risks associated with, and hereby waive, release and forever discharge Association and Property Manager, their respective successors and assigns, and their respective officers, agents, employees, representatives, executors, and all others acting on their behalf (the “Indemnified Parties”) from, any and all responsibilities, damages, claims, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities arising from any of the following: injuries or damages to me or others (including, without limitation, injuries or damages to, or caused by, my personal trainer or sustained by me, the personal trainer or others during a personal training session), or damage to any property (including, without limitation, expiration of life) in any way connected with or resulting from my participation or involvement whatsoever in any Exercise Activities (or any other activity occurring in the Fitness Facility), or my use of any Exercise Equipment or the Fitness Facility, my use of a personal trainer, the negligence in design, maintenance, instruction or warning (including, without limitation, instruction or warning from my personal trainer) with respect to any Exercise Equipment and the Fitness Facility, or the negligence or willful misconduct of users of the Fitness Facility or the Exercise Equipment or from any damage or injury caused by the negligent act or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties, or as a result of the Fitness Facility remaining unsupervised.
