Liability Waiver & Business Policies – JFM Studio

1. Liability Waiver & Release of Liability

I, the undersigned participant, acknowledge that participation in fitness classes, private coaching, and related activities at JFM Studio involves inherent risks, including but not limited to, risk of injury, illness, or complications. I voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation.

I release and discharge JFM Studio, its owners, instructors, employees, and contractors from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of or connected with my participation, including those arising from the negligence of the released parties.

I affirm that I am physically capable of participating in the program and have either received clearance from my physician or chosen to participate at my own risk.

I agree to follow all instructions, inform the instructor of any discomfort, and stop activity if necessary.

Photo/Video Release (Optional): I grant permission for JFM Studio to use photos and/or videos taken during classes or events for marketing and educational purposes. I understand that I may revoke this consent at any time in writing.
