This Agreement applies to all Fire Cycle Fitness activities, including those conducted at its studio, outdoors, at off-site events, or at other authorized locations.
I understand that participation in physical fitness activities involves inherent risks and voluntarily choose to participate.
2. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand and acknowledge that participation in physical exercise, including but not limited to indoor cycling, infrared-heated cycling, strength training, sculpt classes, core conditioning, stretching, and other fitness activities, involves inherent risks.
These risks may include:
- Muscle strains, sprains, and other physical injuries
- Falls, slips, or loss of balance
- Injuries associated with stationary bicycles, weights, or other exercise equipment
- Overexertion, fatigue, dizziness, or fainting
- Dehydration, overheating, or heat-related illness
- Cardiovascular complications
- Aggravation of preexisting medical conditions
- Serious injury, permanent disability, or death
I acknowledge that infrared-heated environments may increase physical demands and the potential for dehydration, overheating, or other heat-related complications.
I voluntarily assume all risks associated with my participation, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
3. HEALTH AND PHYSICAL CONDITION
I acknowledge that I am responsible for evaluating my physical condition and determining whether I am capable of safely participating in Fire Cycle Fitness activities.
I understand that Fire Cycle Fitness does not provide medical examinations, diagnoses, or medical treatment.
I agree to consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating if I have any medical condition, injury, physical limitation, or other health concern that may affect my ability to exercise safely.
I understand that I am responsible for monitoring my physical condition during classes and agree to stop exercising and notify an instructor if I experience pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, unusual discomfort, or other concerning symptoms.
I acknowledge that instructors may offer exercise modifications but cannot guarantee that any activity is free from risk.
4. USE OF EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
I agree to use all exercise equipment, including stationary bicycles, weights, resistance equipment, and other fitness accessories, only for their intended purposes.
I agree to follow instructions provided by Fire Cycle Fitness instructors and personnel regarding equipment use, class participation, and facility safety.
I understand that improper use of equipment may result in injury.
I agree not to move, alter, or interfere with studio equipment in a manner inconsistent with instructor guidance or facility rules.
I acknowledge that Fire Cycle Fitness may restrict or discontinue my participation if my conduct presents a safety concern.
5. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Wisconsin law, I voluntarily release and discharge Fire Cycle Fitness LLC, its owners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, instructors, contractors, agents, representatives, insurers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, or liabilities arising from my participation in Fire Cycle Fitness activities or use of its facilities and equipment.
This release includes claims involving ordinary negligence by the Released Parties to the extent such claims may lawfully be released.
I understand that this Agreement is intended to release the Released Parties from liability for covered injuries or losses, including serious bodily injury or death, but does not waive claims that cannot legally be waived.
I acknowledge that I am voluntarily agreeing to this release as a condition of participation.
6. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from my negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct, violation of studio rules, or unauthorized use of equipment.
This provision does not require me to indemnify any Released Party for that party’s own negligence or misconduct where such indemnification is prohibited by law.
7. GUESTS AND MINORS
I understand that any guest accompanying me must comply with Fire Cycle Fitness policies and participation requirements.
Each adult participant is responsible for reviewing and accepting the applicable Liability Waiver before participating.

I acknowledge that I cannot independently waive the legal rights of another adult participant.
Any waiver or release involving a minor is subject to applicable law and must be completed by an authorized parent or legal guardian.
