To the fullest extent permitted by law, BODY LIGHT JL, its owners, employees, coaches, and agents shall not be liable for any injury, damage, loss, or death arising from your use of our facilities or participation in our programs, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
You represent that you are in sufficient health to engage in physical fitness activities. You agree to inform your coach of any medical conditions, injuries, or limitations before beginning any program.
