SilkCore Waiver

SilkCore Studio LLC
Participant Waiver & Release of Liability Agreement
Effective Date: December 1, 2025

This Waiver and Release of Liability (“Waiver”) is made and executed by the undersigned (“Participant”) in favor of SilkCore Studio LLC, its affiliates, owners, officers, instructors, employees, and agents (collectively referred to as “SilkCore Studio”).

  1. Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risk
    I understand that participating in fitness activities at SilkCore Studio, including but not limited to reformer and mat Pilates, strength training, stretching, heated classes, and use of studio equipment (collectively, “Fitness Activities”), carries certain risks. These risks may include physical exertion, dehydration, heat-related illness, muscle strain, injury, or in rare cases, serious health complications or death. I voluntarily accept and assume all risks associated with my participation.

I understand that classes are instructional and require following instructor direction at all times for safety. I agree to use all studio equipment properly and only as instructed by SilkCore staff.

I acknowledge that SilkCore Studio may use infrared heat technology in some classes, which may warm the room up to 90°F or higher. Exercising in a heated environment can increase the risk of dehydration or heat-related symptoms. I agree to monitor my own condition before, during, and after class, and to stay hydrated.

If I use the hot room, I understand it is entirely at my own risk. Possible risks include dehydration, dizziness, fainting, burns, and heat exhaustion. I accept full responsibility for my decision to use the sauna or participate in heated classes.

I agree to follow all posted rules, safety signage, and verbal instructions from staff at all times.

  1. Medical Clearance and Fitness Level
    I acknowledge that SilkCore Studio recommends consulting a physician before starting any fitness program. I confirm that I am in good health, physically able to participate in exercise, and free from any condition that could limit my ability to safely take part in classes.

If I have health concerns such as cardiovascular issues, respiratory conditions, heat sensitivity, or pregnancy, I understand that it is my responsibility to discuss these with my doctor before joining heated classes. I agree to stop immediately and notify the instructor if I feel discomfort, dizziness, or other adverse symptoms.

I will not participate in any class or use the sauna while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that may impair my ability to exercise safely.

If SilkCore Studio staff believes I may be at risk, I may be asked to provide a doctor’s note before resuming participation. I understand this is for my safety and not an endorsement of my health or readiness to participate.

  1. Release of Liability
    In consideration for being allowed to participate in classes and use SilkCore Studio facilities, I release and hold harmless SilkCore Studio LLC and its representatives from any and all claims, damages, or liabilities arising from my participation, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

I assume full responsibility for any injuries or damages I may cause to myself or others in connection with the use of SilkCore’s facilities. I confirm that I am in good health, capable of participating in physical activity, and have not been advised by a physician to refrain from exercise.

  1. Valuables and Personal Property
    I understand that SilkCore Studio is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items, including those left in lockers, changing areas, or anywhere on the premises. I agree not to bring valuables to class and acknowledge that any such items are brought at my own risk.

  2. Indemnification
    I agree to indemnify and hold harmless SilkCore Studio LLC and its representatives from any and all claims, costs, or damages (including attorney’s fees) resulting from my participation in classes, use of equipment, or exposure to heat or infrared technology.

  3. Photo and Video Release
    I grant SilkCore Studio permission to use any photos, videos, or other media of me taken during classes or events for marketing or promotional purposes, without compensation.

  4. Etiquette and Conduct
    I agree to uphold the respectful and supportive environment of SilkCore Studio by following these guidelines:
    • Be kind and considerate toward all clients and staff.
    • Follow instructor guidance and safety instructions.
    • Arrive at least 5–10 minutes before class starts.
    • Avoid using cell phones or other devices during class.
    • Refrain from disruptive talking or behavior.
    • Wear appropriate workout attire and grippy socks when required.

SilkCore Studio reserves the right to deny access to anyone acting in an unsafe, disrespectful, or disruptive manner.

  1. Acknowledgment of Membership Agreement
    I understand that my participation is subject to all SilkCore Studio membership policies, including those related to cancellations, no-shows, and terminations. I agree to review and comply with these terms.

  2. Governing Law
    This Waiver is governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey.

  3. Participant Age Requirement
    I confirm that I am at least 18 years of age. If I am under 18, a parent or legal guardian must consent and sign below on my behalf.

  4. Electronic Signature Agreement
    By electronically signing this document, I agree that my electronic signature carries the same legal force as a handwritten signature.

I have read and fully understand this Waiver. I acknowledge that I am voluntarily giving up certain legal rights, including the right to bring claims against SilkCore Studio LLC or its representatives for negligence. I sign this document freely and voluntarily.

This Waiver remains in effect indefinitely and is binding upon me, my heirs, executors, and legal representatives.
